1. Bradley Kim SS- 6’0 195 Skyline- 2017

Kim is a very solid high school prospect, loves to fly downhill and punish ball carriers. A fundamental football player with a knack for being around the ball. In coverage he is good at the point of attack , but his speed is an issue. Quicker than he is fast, Kim will need to continue to work in the off season going into his Sr. year. He was 1st Team All-Kinco at Safety in 2015, leading his team into the state playoffs. At 6’ nearly 200 pounds he’s got great size, hits like a linebacker and can get the job done in coverage.

Offers: N/A

Recruit Comparison: Matt Johnson –Tumwater HS- signed w/ Eastern Washington (2007)

2. Anthany Smith- FS 6’0 180 Mariner - 2017

Extremely athletic prospect who does it all for his Mariner team. Harnesses a great ability to make plays while the ball is in the air, will go up and get it. In coverage he seems to be in the right place to make things happen. His name is relatively unknown but he has fluid hips and solid top end speed. He could easily make a name for himself if he continues to work and get better with his technique.

Recruit Comparison :Eric Block Bellevue HS Signed w/ Washington State (2007)

3. Ryan Blash - FS 6'0 180 River Ridge – 2017

A long, lean athlete that covers the field extremely well, and does a fantastic job closing and breaking on the ball. In 2 year he has 11 interceptions and constantly makes plays. While he is a raw athlete with a tremendous upside, he does lacks the fundamental technique needed to be a national recruit. His backpedal is not smooth, and he seems to be a bit stiff in his hips. He does posses all the tools to play at the next level, but will need to brush up on his technique and shine at these college camps and showcases this spring.

Recruit Comparison: Dion Singleton- Chiawana HS- Signed to Washington State (2014)

4. Fredrick Cooper SS - 6’ 0 202 O’dea- 2017

A very solid 6 foot 202 pound frame on this young man. He has good speed, loves to fly down hill and deliver big hits. He does need to work on his footwork/hips, but he has a very smooth back pedal. Due to injuries he does not have a lot of film but he’s got a great upside. Cooper is very confident in his abilities, making him a fierce competitor. His size could translate to the next level if he can stay healthy. The winter spring circuit will be huge for this kid being that he has missed so much action.

Recruit Comparison: Aaron Cartwright Mariner HS signed w/ Eastern Washington (2005)
