Anthony Aguirre Anthony Aguirre 6'4" | 200 lbs | WR Ferris | 2022 State WA , WR, Ferris
Aguirre jumped from the watchlist to #62 after pulling in an FCS offer from Idaho over the summer. Possesses ideal length and size at 6’5” 190 lbs. with plus athleticism and speed. He shows good lateral agility, bend, and hip level change as a route runner and does a great job attacking DB’s blind spot to gain positional leverage. Strong ball skills with a large catch radius to extend and make difficult receptions outside his framework. He’s a great redzone and vertical threat using his length and leaping ability to come down with jump balls. Wouldn’t be surprised to see more offers come his way as a senior.

Bret Fullington Bret Fullington 6'6" | 310 lbs | OL Liberty | 2022 State WA , OL, Liberty
Massive size and frame at 6’6” 320 lbs. Plays multiple positions on the offensive line as well as d-line for his HS team but projects as an interior guy at the college level. With his size and natural strength he’s able to overpower opponents and get good movement on his drive blocks. Plays with a good wide base and strong hand usage to latch on and maintain his blocks through the whistle. Possesses a high football IQ and shows a good understanding of every position on the line. He’s able to recognize and adjust to different defensive fronts and react to stunts/blitzes. His recruitment is starting to pick up with offers coming in from Idaho, Eastern Washington, Chicago, and Rose-Hulman.
Leyton Smithson Leyton Smithson 6'2" | 190 lbs | WR Squalicum | 2022 State WA , ATH, Squalicum
The transfer from Idaho has an impressive physical skillset with his combination of size and athleticism. Shows good top end speed, burst, and lateral agility with the ball in his hands. He’s elusive in the open field using quick lateral cuts and his start/stop speed to make defenders miss. Great versatility with the instincts and game awareness to be an effective playmaker all over the field. Offered by Idaho and Idaho State so far, he’s an exciting player to watch that can completely take over a game.
Austin Emmons Austin Emmons 6'7" | 270 lbs | OL Glacier Peak | 2022 State WA , OL, Glacier Peak
Big and well-balanced frame with great growth potential at 6’7” 270 lbs. Shows good mobility and natural movement skills out of his stance and as a blocker in space. Also flashes a little short area burst as a defensive lineman in pursuit and as a pass rusher. He comes hard off the ball and attacks his blocks in the run game with good toughness and aggression without being off balanced or outside his framework. Strong physical skillset with good upside and potential as he continues to develop. Has already pulled in offers from Montana Tech and Montana State-Northern.
Jonny Lester Jonny Lester 6'5" | 240 lbs | TE Northwest Christian | 2022 State WA , TE, Northwest Christian
The 6’5” 240 lb. TE just picked up his first offer from Eastern Washington last week. He’s a strong all-around prospect that can impact the game from multiple positions (TE/LB/DE). He’s a throwback football player that is violent and aggressive at the POA. Possesses good natural strength in his hands and lower half to overpower and control opponents at the contact point. Shows good coordination and body control to go along with his bend and flexibility in the hips, knees, and ankles. Not a top end burner but has functional game speed and short-area burst/quickness to be effective on both sides of the ball. His recruitment could take off after securing that first D1 offer.
After an amazing phone call with @CoachBestEWU I’m honored and blessed to say I have received a scholarship offer to play football at EWU! Go Eags!!! @Coach_Ena @BrandonHuffman @RylandSpencer @CascadiaPreps @INW_FOOTBALL @Micah_Chen @Coach_JonPerry @Mhart235 pic.twitter.com/ni14SYINmv
