Logan Lisherness, White river high school, 6-2 225 MLB JR
Logan is an electric athlete with great ability and instinct. Logan plays as a middle linebacker and makes quick reads, flies to the ball, and is relentless in his pursuit. This past season Logan put up an immense 126 total tackles with an average of 14 tackles per game. The amount of production that Lisherness has put up is one that testifies to his talent. Logan’s size, ability, and effort make him a great candidate to be an impactful athlete at the D1 collegiate level.

Dane Johnson, Enumclaw High School, 6-1 210, MLB SR
Dane Johnson is another electric athlete who is a force to be reckoned with on defense. Dane is a linebacker who can play downhill and sideline to sideline. He consistently makes tackles both in the box and open field and proves to be a pillar for his team. Dane has collected over 120 tackles this past season with 82 of those being solo tackles. The production that Dane has displayed certainly opens the door for him to be an asset for D1 or D2 schools this coming fall.
Bradley Eleton, Enumclaw High School, 6-1 205 S SR
Bradley has collected over 100 tackles this past season as a safety. This stat is indicative of Bradley’s fly-to-the-ball play style which mirrors that of Jamal Adams. Bradley is a jack of all trades as he is able to provide excellent pass coverage while also having the ability to make tackles, play down in the box and make plays behind the line of scrimmage. In addition to his 100 tackles, Bradley has accumulated 2 picks this year making teams fearful to throw the football. Bradley would be a great addition for D1 or D2 schools looking for great talent.

Wyatt is a natural leader who will make big time plays at the D1 or D2 level.
