Vote: Which new player in 2028 Washington rankings is best?
In this article:
We have released our updated class of 2028 Washington rankings this week, unveiling a collection of the top 175 players in the state, plus an additional collection of "watch list" guys.
After a thorough, weeks-long review, a few dozen new prospects cracked the list, which prompted us to wonder: "Who do fans think deserves to be rated highest among our new additions?"
Below is the complete list of every new player added to the updated rankings. Vote for the player you think deserves to be the highest and we will write an article highlighting the winner.
The poll ends Tuesday at 4 p.m. PT.
Here's a brief roundup of the top of the rankings:
There's a new No. 1 in the rankings, but the top two have both been generating five-star buzz.
Eastside Catholic defensive lineman Aedyn Havili Aedyn Havili 6'2" | 325 lbs | DL Eastside Catholic | 2028 State WA is a 6-foot-2, 326-pound player who has absolutely exploded in this spring, adding offers from BYU, LSU, Ohio State, Oregon, Penn State and others.
Havili is a top-30 player nationally by ESPN, putting him in position to add a fifth star as the rankings mature.
He has a quick first step and his lateral quickness make him a s truly special prospect in the Pacific Northwest.
A strong argument could be made that Havili is the top prospect in the Nortwest right now regardless of class.
He's been that special.

sits at No. 2, and his one-spot drop is not a reflection of any drop off in his stock.
The 6-foot-5, 220-pound pass-catcher is rated the nation's No. 1 tight end in his class, and he holds offers from Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Penn State, Texas, Texas A&M and many others.
McNeal, a basketball/football star, has incredible upside given his blend of size and athleticism and has some similarities to class of 2023 Arizona product Duce Robinson.
Robinson was a baseball/football All-American at Pinnacle (Ariz.) before committing to USC.
He later transferred to Florida State and is considered a high-level NFL Draf prospect.

comes in at No. 3 and is one of the fastest-rising prospects in the entire country.
The speedy 6-foot-2, 175-pound pass-catcher has jumped from three-star prospect to top-100 player nationally and added offers from Alabama, Clemson, Notre Dame, Oregon, Wisconsin and others.
Those three all 20-plus offer prospects who have a chance to be All-American selections.
