Recruiting Spotlight

Offers have been coming in for various Washington athletes, as some continue to stockpile their offers while others are seeing their first of many. Take a look at 5 players who have heated up their recruitment throughout the month of June: &nbsp; [player_tooltip player_id="87405" first="Caleb" last="Presley"], <em>DB,6’0" 170lbs, Eastside Catholic ’23<img class="alignright wp-image-136449" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/04/Recruiting-Update.png" alt="" width="284" height="189" /></em> Presley has recently pulled in some major power 5 offers lately, as he recently landed offers from Oklahoma and Michigan. A few weeks back, Presley also pulled in offers from Arizona State, Texas A&amp;M, Texas, and Auburn. He holds 22 offers in total but it is still too early to tell who is at the top of his list. However, he did attend an Alabama camp, then flashed his interest via twitter towards Alabama, Auburn, and Texas A&amp;M. Just a flat out exceptional athlete across the board with speed, twitch, physicality, and football IQ, establishing himself one of top DB’s in the nation. &nbsp; [player_tooltip player_id="87313" first="Mark" last="Nabou"],<em> OL, 6’4" 330lbs, O’dea ’22</em> Nabou has made a major impact with his recruitment in the month of June by picking up numerous big offers. He most recently landed PAC 12 offers from Arizona and USC. This month, he also received offers from Michigan, TCU, Texas A&amp;M, and Texas, now giving him 11 offers total. However, 6 out of his 11 total offers came after his commitment to Washington on June 1st. Therefore, Nabou’s recruitment is extremely intriguing to monitor as he’ll only continue to see more attention. Excellent size, strength, and IQ and will only continue to turn heads. https://twitter.com/mark_nabou/status/1399849197122113536?s=20 &nbsp; [player_tooltip player_id="151853" first="Ayden" last="Knapik"], <em>OL, 6’7" 245lbs, Kennewick ’22</em> Knapik started up his recruitment by picking up his first offer from Eastern Washington. Knapik’s frame and size alone should draw some attention his way, as this kid is a monster. He also plays basketball for Kennewick, which contributes to his overall athleticism. He possesses excellent length/reach and holds the skillset to play either OL or DL at the next level. Knapik should continue to see much more attention, and will have a big opportunity to continue to rise his stock in the fall. &nbsp; [player_tooltip player_id="87327" first="Hunter" last="Hill"], <em>DL, 6’3" 280lbs, Graham-Kapowsin ’22</em> Hill recently picked up his second offer from Montana State after a very strong performance at their prospect camp. The standout DL also holds a previous offer from Idaho State which he picked up back in April. In the window from his first to second offer, Hill has seen interest from Nevada and Oregon State. He has also played in the Heir vs FSP All-Star game, and was awarded "Top Performer" at the Polynesian Bowl. Hill consistently gains leverage on opponents and is explosive at the hips and strong at the POA. Definitely a threat as a pass rusher who will only continue to rise his stock. https://twitter.com/Hunter_a_hill/status/1408147964623679488?s=20 &nbsp; [player_tooltip player_id="87383" first="Cooper" last="Carlson"], OL, 6’4" 290lbs, Capital ’22 Carlson heated up as he recently picked up two offers from Central Washington (DII) and Culver-Stockton (NAIA). He also holds a previous NAIA offer from Montana Tech that he received in April. He attended the Washington State camp, where his brother Carter plays EDGE. Carlson also attended the padded "K.O. Bros" camp ran by NFL offensive lineman Leo Koloamatangi where he was awarded "OL MVP". Carlson dives through contact well in the run game with good mobility to get to the second level. He holds ground well in a pass set and holds strong potential going forward. &nbsp;
