Big, strong frame at 6’0” 230 lbs. He’s a downhill power back that is physical and aggressive at the POA. Good feet for his size, he’s able to make quick lateral cuts to make defenders miss in space. Runs well behind his pads with good leverage making him very difficult to tackle 1v1. Raw size and strength allow him overpower opponents and pick up tough yards in short yardage situations. Has the ability and size to transition well to other positions if necessary.
Beau Phillips Beau Phillips 5'10" | 185 lbs | RB Mount Si | 2024 State WA , RB, Mount Si, 5’7” 160 lbs.
A very good natural athlete in the high powered Mount Si program, he ran a 4.6 40 and broad jumped 10 feet at the National Preps showcase in January. Possesses a strong and well-built frame at 5’8” 170 lbs. Has flashed great natural instincts and awareness as a ball carrier so far in his freshman season. Uses his burst and acceleration to be elusive in the open field but can also pick up tough yardage between the tackles with his continuous leg drive. He’ll be one to watch over the next few years.
Zach Schell Zach Schell 5'10" | 185 lbs | RB Peninsula | 2024 State WA , RB, Life Christian Academy, 5’9” 175 lbs.
Schell is a good all-around back that does a great job making the first guy miss and getting north/south. He’s a balanced runner that is a weaver with a quick and explosive lateral cut. He shows good vision and instincts to read and react to his blocks. Has shown good/confident hands out of the backfield, very effective in the screen game. High ceiling for this young back that can also play on the defensive side depending on how he develops.
Hogan Hansen Hogan Hansen 6'6" | 220 lbs | TE Bellevue | 2024 State WA , TE, Bellevue, 6’5” 205 lbs.
As a freshman Hansen already possesses ideal size and length for a major D1 TE. So far this season he has shown great versatility as a blocker and a pass catcher. He’s a plus athlete with good body control and hands to come down with tough contested catches in traffic. As a blocker, he’s physical and aggressive and shows good strength and power at the contact point. Picked up his first offer from Arizona in February and is projected to be one of the states top recruits in the 2024 class.
Elijah Napihaa Elijah Napihaa 6'3" | 320 lbs | OL Garfield | 2024 State WA , OL, Kentwood, 6’1” 355 lbs.
Massive frame at 6’1” 355 lbs. Has shown he is capable of playing either side of the ball so far this season as a freshman on varsity. His natural strength and size allows him to overpower opponents and easily move the LOS. Good mobility and motor for his size, he flashes the ability to move laterally and work to the second level. He’s extremely physical and aggressive at the POA. He’s an intriguing young prospect that has great upside and potential.
Gregory Sikorski Gregory Sikorski 6'5" | 300 lbs | OL Sumner | 2024 State WA , OL, Sumner, 6’3” 300 lbs.
Great foundation of size and natural ability to build on as he progresses. He already shows a good understanding of his position and blocking schemes as a whole. Shows functional mobility for his size and age with good feet, bend, and lateral mobility. He’s violent and aggressive at the contact point often finishing his blocks with opponents on their back or driven off the LOS. Raw power and strength allow him to move and overpower defenders. He’ll be one of the top line prospects in the state when all is said and done.
