1. Hunter Bryant TE- 6’3 230 Eastside Catholic- 2017
Bryant is a special talent in the realm of high school football, as a junior Hunter recorded 1,137 yards and 17 touchdowns on just 48 catches this past fall. He creates match-up problems weekly with his size, strength and deceptive speed for a big man. Definitely one of the players in the state that is college ready at his position. Possesses a lethal stiff arm that opposing players shy away from. Plays with tenacity and has big play ability. Although his speed can get it done in high school, that is one area that will need some attention heading into the winter/spring circuit if he wants to set himself apart from other prospects.
Offers: Washington, Washington State
Recruit Comparison: Joe Halahuni Orting HS- Signed w/ Oregon State (2006)
2. Ben Moos TE- 6’4 248 Pullman - 2017
Moose at 6’4 248 is a big tight end prospect, solid route runner, with soft hands, and can also get in the trenches and block. He arguably has the most college ready frame as a tight end but could also offer some skills at defensive end. He plays with a great motor, although his technique does falter at times. He is a kid that needs to separate himself by not playing down to his competition level. This off -season will be huge for him in all aspects as he continues to grow as an athlete.
Offers: Arizona State, Washington State, Arizona State
Recruit Comparison: Jason Benn Odea HS- Signed w/ Washington (2002)
3. Cade Otton TE- 6’5 212 Tumwater - 2017
Otton uses his frame to his advantage on the offensive side of the ball. Although he is not very fast he loves to go up and get the ball over smaller defenders. His height allows him to be a solid tight end prospect at the next level. He will need to get in the weight room and get bigger this offseason if he wants to be a dominant force at the next level. When the ball is thrown his direction he does have a set of very reliable hands. A solid high school football player with a great upside if he can fully tap into his potential.
Recruit Comparison: Jacob Mckinney Puyallup HS – Signed w/ Washington State (2004)
4. Debore’ae McClain- TE 6’4 200 Peninsula - 2017
McClain is a very raw unorthodox athlete. He lacks body control while running, but is still able to go up and make plays. His route running and speed are some areas that need work. He is full of natural athleticism but, will need to attack this off season to put in the work necessary to get better. He is projected as a tight end at the next level
Recruit Comparison: Clayton Homme Southridge HS- Signed w/ Idaho (2009)
