’23 Stian Andreassen Stian Andreassen 6'0" | 290 lbs | DL Puyallup | 2023 State WA , Puyallup HS
One of the top two-way players along the front across the region, he has very good Junior season tape and plays with violence on both sides of the ball. Out of his stance he has a quick first step and immediately creates knock-back while locking out defenders and reading offensive lineman quickly and showing he has a good football IQ. While playing offensive tackle, he has good feet and a balanced set through out pass pro while able to maul defenders off the ball with good pad level, consistent leg drive and heavy hands while finishing blocks downfield. Andreassen can definitely play at the college level and should find a home during his Senior season at the D-III+ level.
’23 Lucas Freitas, Mount Si HS
Freitas is a big bodied kid that is still raw at the position and relies on his natural strength to maul defenders but will only continue to develop technically as a player as he progresses through his career. Having good size for a Junior, he is more of a downhill blocker that excels at the first level with a wide base and the ability to finish blocks on defensive ends downfield. He shows patience in pass protection and good lateral movement abilities in tight windows and could also kick inside at the next level as he improves his overall athletic ability and matures.
’23 Amari Goodfellow Amari Goodfellow 5'11" | 175 lbs | QB Auburn | 2023 State WA , Auburn HS
Goodfellow is a very impressive athlete that is a true dual-threat quarterback with elite pocket mobility and explosiveness through the first level while also showing open field speed. On tape, he can feel pressure and move around the pocket while braking ankle tackles and delivering the ball downfield. While throwing on the run, he has quick feet and can easily roll out and throw downfield with some nice touch and velocity to allow his receivers to run underneath. While standing in the pocket, he moves defenders with his eyes and does a good job at moving through his progressions while taking what is given or taking off on the run.
’23 Ahmani Hopoi, Bothell HS
Hopoi is a straight lined runner that hits the hole quickly and likes to get vertical. Although he is still developing true home run speed, he is explosive through the first level and does not go down on first contact. In the box he is tough to tackle while showing strong contact balance and forward lean while breaking arm tackles and keeping his legs running through contact. He shows good vision in tight windows while able to catch the ball out of the backfield and make defenders miss in space. He can make a big impact at the D-III+ level.
