Bumgarner had a phenomenal senior season and career at Stanwood. Racked up over 2,500 scrimmage yards and 27 touchdowns in 2022 in addition to breaking several records at Stanwood including Most Single Game Rushing Yards, Yards in a Season, Scoring in a Season, Career Rushing Yards, and Career Scoring. He’s a dynamic and explosive athlete that can take over a game on both sides of the ball. Possesses excellent fluidity and change of direction to make quick/sudden cuts and then use his short area burst to accelerate out. Flashes great start/stop speed to make defenders miss in the open field. Outstanding balance and body control as a ball carrier, does a good job being patient to allow the play to develop and anticipating to create open running lanes. One of the top uncommitted 2023 prospects left in the state with offers from College of Idaho, Central Washington, Lewis and Clark, Whitworth, and PWO to Washington and Washington State. Also a PRZ All-Washington First Team selection.

I don’t think it would be a stretch for me to say Ryder has been the BEST running back in the entire state of Washington. During his week 2 game against Marysville-Pillchuck HS, Ryder had an absolutely absurd 306 yards rushing ewith 3 touchdowns on 20 rushes. He broke the Stanwood HS record for most rushing yards in a game and I wouldn’t be surprised if he does it again later this year. After he breaks through the first level, he’s almost impossible to catch from behind. He hit the correct holes every time he touched the ball, being able to get good yardage every time he touched the ball. The senior will continue being a running back to watch as the season progresses.
