UPDATED RANKINGS
Over the next few weeks we will be releasing our positional rankings covering the state of Washington. We will have athletes ranked numerically and an honorable mention list, based on who PROJECTS HIGHEST AT THE NEXT LEVEL.
There are a variety of factors that go into determining who projects where..These include (Current offers, Size, testing, All league/State accolades, camp/combine performances, stats, competition levels, D1/NFL Genes, GPA, Overall character/work ethic etc.). You can be a very talented high school athlete and not project to a high level of college football… ie; If you are a 5-10 first team all league or all state lineman congratulations, but you are not going to project to a D1 school. It is what it is and that goes for all positions. We feel very fortunate to have the college contacts that we do, so it’s important that the rankings are structured so that all schools can get a realistic breakdown of who they should be recruiting.
Through NEI and the Barton Football Academy we have been able to work with most of the top athletes in the region on a consistent basis, which has enabled us to make the accuracy of our evaluations more legitimate then any other group or recruiting source.
All of these rankings are subject to change at any time based on any new information received. It’s important that we see any athlete that feels they are one of the best, as we can only determine so much based on film or word of mouth. Any top athlete that feels they should be higher on this list should get out to one or more of our NEI/Barton Football Camp and Combine events.
As most of you know all of our events are documented via video allowing us to see kids in person, while breaking down film of athletes after the fact if we still have questions about a kid. No other football academy has ever ventured to do such a thing, but we feel that this is the most fair and accurate way to give each athlete a ranking. Obviously nothing is perfect, but it is by far and away the most credible source in the region.

Talented line prospect who earned First Team All-Big Nine 4A as a sophomore. Super athletic multi Sport kid (Basketball), that has legit D1 quciks and size. BYU has already been by the school. You can bet many more will be by too, one of the best players in the state.
8) Chris Durrett 6-2 270 Camas (Vancouver) DL/OL
Played quite a bit for a very talented Camas squad in 2011, totaling 38 tackles and four sacks. Uses his hands well and anchors strong against the run. Very talented kid that can play on either side of the ball, big D1 prospect playing for one of the best teams in the state.
9) Chandler Newell 6-2 235 Chiawana (Pasco) OL
Named Honorable Mention All-Big Nine in 2011. Newell is strong and the Riverhawks love to run behind him. Will be part of s special junior class that has a host of talented kids including big time talent DE Kayden Maughn.
10) Randin Crecelius 6-5 245 Cascade (Everett) OL
Named Second Team All-Wesco 4A in 2011, huge upside as he is a kid with legit size moving forward.
11) Brad Kimball 6-4 235 Mercer Island OL http://www.hudl.com/athlete/
Played only OL in 2012, it will be interesting to see where he ultimately ends up. Islander coaches love his potential on defense, but he will man the right tackle spot as well. He’s athletic and a hard worker, can also play TE.
12) Shay Dingfelder 6-0 265 Issaquah OL
As a sophomore, Dingfelder earned Second Team All-Kingco 4A Crest Division in 2011 and he’ll be counted on to help pave the way for the Eagles’ potent rushing attack. Strong at the point and plays with good leverage. Kids a very good football player, but right its all about height and not his skill set.
12) Jakob Stoll 6-2 260 Wenatchee DL/OL http://www.hudl.com/athlete/
Physical at the point of attack and can run. Named Honorable Mention All-Big Nine as a sophomore in 2011. Did very well at our elite events, and should be considered one of the top two way lineman in Washington. Plays with a non stop motor and then some.

Great drive-blocker who has a chance to really improve this year.

Athletic line prospect who earned Second Team All-Cascade honors as a sophomore in 2011.

Washington 2014 DL’s
(Marcus Griffin)
1) Marcus Griffin 6-3 280 Bellevue DT http://www.hudl.com/athlete/
Solid looking prospect with outstanding size. Played sparingly as a sophomore – few play in Bellevue’s system – but he’ll be a real rock in the middle for the Wolverines this fall.
(Mason Johnson)
2) Mason Johnson 6-3 300 Kentlake DL/OL http://www.hudl.com/athlete/
Kids just a monster and can play on either side of the ball..His combination of size and speed is rare, as this will be a kid that will be able to help a D1 line immediately. High profile kid that can play D1 ball on either O or D.
2) Shane Bowman 6-4 220 Bellevue DE http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1297754/highlights/9793376
Bowman is very athletic. Sheds his blocks really well and never gives up on a play. Becomes almost unblockable at times. Started 6 games as a Sophomore on the best team in the state. Referenced by Tom Lemming as one of the better Jr DEs in the country. His upside is HUGE!
4) Jarius McDade 6-3 300 O’Dea (Seattle) DL
Big, physical presence that can move in the interior. Very disruptive lineman. Unique intangibles for a big man. Looks to be one of the best DLineman in the Northwest. Could climb this list.
5) Jonah Jordan 6-2 265 Mead (Spokane) OL/DL http://www.hudl.com/athlete/
Does his best work paving the way for talented junior Davian Barlow, super athletic as he can play all three O line spots, but dominate on D at times. One of the best juniors in the state. Upside is off the charts, football family as his dad has been a coach.
6) Trey Tutt 6-4 255 Southridge (Kennewick) DL http://www.hudl.com/athlete/
Strong against the run and is explosive enough to collapse the pocket. Had a very good season for the Suns last year posting 52 tackles and four sacks. D1 body with a big upside.
7) Willie Eteaki 6-2 310 Skyview (Vancouver) DT
Transferred from Southridge (Or.), where he started as a freshman on one of the better teams in the state. Storm coaches couldn’t be happier. He will play both the nose and the three-technique, pass-rushing spot for Skyview this fall. He’s strong and aggressive and he loves to get after it.
8) Micah Prescott 6-1 300 DL Renton
Super impressive kid that plays both ways and is extremely athletic. Comes off the end hard and can pose problems on the interior of the line as well. Did very well at the UW Showcase event against older competition. Coach Donald Ponds is doing an outstanding job with his athletes.
9) Jason Vailea 6-2 235 Camas (Vancouver) DL
Athletic and gets off the ball quickly, kid is super talented and could potentially project as more of a backer, but he is one of the best lineman off the ball in the state. He is good blocking fullback, but can run like a big half back so colleges will have a host of options with him making him even more appealing.
10) Elisha Pa’aga 511 265 Eastside Catholic (Sammamish) DL http://www.hudl.com/
Pa’aga earned Second Team All-Metro both ways for the Crusaders last fall, as both a fullback and as a defensive lineman. He’s almost impossible to move off of the line due to his low center-of-gravity.
10) Jakob Stoll 6-2 260 Wenatchee DL http://www.hudl.com/
Physical at the point of attack and can run. Named Honorable Mention All-Big Nine as a sophomore in 2011. Did very well at our elite events, and should be considered one of the top two way lineman in Washington. Plays with a non stop motor and then some.

Jaquer Baker 6-3 250 Rainier Beach (Seattle) DL
Beach always has a lot of talent on their team, but rarely is there so much along both lines. This year, Baker will be counted on to hold up along the defensive line for the Vikings. He was named Second Team All-Metro as a sophomore in 2011 after totaling 45 tackles and four sacks.
Austin Striplin 6-3 240 Sumner DE http://www.youtube.com/watch?
He plays MLB for the Spartans but is see on the DL in the future. Was told he played DL as a Fresh, but lost 30+ pounds so he could play LB. 91 tackles as a Sophomore. Moves well from sideline to sideline. Not the fastest kid in the world, but his instincts make the play. Also plays LT on offense.
Monike Sarte 6-1 300 Fife DT
Really big kid that moves well considering his size. Requires the double team if you want to run the ball towards him. Could rise quickly.

Big, strong kid that clogs the middle. Prototypical NG in a 3-4.

Washington 2014 LB’s
1) Devante Downs 6-3 235 Mountlake Terrace LB/RB (OFFERS: Washington, Utah) http://www.hudl.com/athlete/
Likely to be one of the top athletes on the entire West Coast when it is all said and done. A very talented two-way star for a school that doesn’t produce much in the way of college talent. Downs is big, physical and he runs like a dear. As a sophomore Downs rushed for over 800 yards and scored 11 touchdowns while also racking up over 90 tackles and two forced fumbles from his linebacker position. His preference is RB but he is equally as talented as a backer..
(Gianni Carbone)
2) Gianni Carbone 6-0 210 Skyview (Vancouver) LB http://www.youtube.com/watch?
Carbone is a big time pickup for the Storm since he had to sit out the 2011 season due to transfer rules. He is a grinder and someone that did very well on the camp and combine tour. Very good in coverage and just an athletic kid that understands the game.

Projects as a DB in college, and already has a handful of offers from many of the top schools in the country. Extremely versatile, can return Kicks/Punts, and also play out of the slot. Baker’s preference is to play D at the college level, but the fact that he can do it all just makes him that much more appealing.

12) Torrence Baker 6-2 200 Garfield S
This is a kid that is super raw, but has legit D1 skils and the body to go with it. Very talented basketball player that has all the potential in the world if he decides to pursue football.
