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. (EX: 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.

Show me more on how we arrive at rankings….
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.

We are constantly updating and adding to the site. It is a big region so please let us know of any athlete that you feel may have been missed. We are more than happy to look at any and all information sent to us referencing our northwest athletes.
Jordan Johnson and the NEI Team
1)
Kaleb McGary
Fife
6′ 7, 285
Offers: Arizona State, Boise State, California, Nebraska, Oregon, Oregon State, Utah, Washington, Washington State, Wisconsin
Will be able to go to almost any school in the country.. Looked phenomenal on our NEI/ Barton Camp and Combine Tour last off season, and will only be adding to his already significant frame. Transferred from Battle Ground to Fife this past year and has a huge upside.
2)
Morgan Richey
Bellevue
6′ 5, 280
Offers: Colorado State, Idaho, Nevada, North Dakota, Northern Colorado
Will be the next highly touted lineman out of Bellevue. Will be a double digit D1 offer guy that carries a mean streak and just knows how to get the job done. He has legit size and athleticism and should be very visible on the camp circuit over the off season.
3)
Randin Crecelius
1st team all WESCO on both sides of the ball..Will be a three year all league kid and recently showed up at one of our elite events and dominated other top competition. Comes from a football family, and has a huge upside with legit size and coordination.
4)
Drew Clarkson
Camas
6′ 4, 275
Offers: California, Eastern Washington, Northern Colorado, Oregon State, Washington State
1st team all GSHL kid with legit size that has blown up as of late. Clarkson wears his heart on his sleeve, and will be the leader up front of a #1 ranked Camas team coming back in 2013.
5)
Jonah Jordan
Jordan comes from a football family and will be a three year starter and three year all league kid before he is done. Can play on the defensive side of the ball, and may project as a center at the next level depending on how much taller he gets.
6)
Mason Johnson
Kids just a beast and a physical specimen. Can move mountains with his strength and has been dominant on both sides of the ball. Projects as more of a D lineman on the interior but can go either way.
7)
Reggie Long
One of the fastest rising lineman in the state. If he is to play at the highest level he will have most likely have to be a center. 1st team all league kid from last years state championship squad, just continues to get better.
8)
Chandler Streuli
Kid has an upside that is through the roof.. He has a true love for the game and has already drawn D1 interest.. He has a 3.9 GPA and is the ultimate team guy, also doing very well at our elite events.
9)
Kayden Maughn
2 time 1st team all league kid that has already been visited by the likes of BYU.. Maughn is a phenomenal overall athlete showing off his skills on the basketball floor and just a really good overall kid.
10)
Elijah Klein
Flying up the rankings board and projecting at the D1 level with continued progression. Will be the anchor of a line that featured top seniors McQuery, Kohrs..Gained valuable state championship experience. 1 team All-League in 2012.
11)
Alex Rice
Kid is climbing the rankings board quickly as he is pushing 6-7 with unlimited potential.. Doesn’t have a ton of football experience, but if he puts in the time the sky is the limit.
12)
Nick Streubel
Has been a fixture at our elite events and has looked great against top competition. Plays at the 1A level and will need to continue to impress on the camp circuit..Legit size.
13)
Drew Springfield
Another kid that has been very impressive at our elite events showing off outstanding technique..Will play for one of the top teams in the state. 1st team All-Metro in 2012.
14)
Peter Fisherkeller
Can play the TE position, but will project as more of a lineman with legit size. Very good overall athlete and someone that should be a leader for a very talented Bothell team.
15)
Chris Durrett
Will end up being a three year starter for WA’s #1 ranked team coming back, and someone that has big upside.
16)
Chandler Newell
Unanimous 1st team all league kid that is extremely talented, but needs to add size… Will be one of the leaders on what should be a special 2014 class.
17)
Treshon Long
Has shown up on the camp circuit and really proved himself. Big kid that moves very well for his size and has done a good job at center/guard. 1st team All-Narrows League.
18)
Brad Kimball
Mercer Island
6′ 4, 245
Offers: Cornell, Harvard, Yale
Kimball played some TE but also does well on the line. Mercer loses some top seniors so it will be his year to show what he can do leading up front.
19)
Shay Dingfelder
Skill wise one of the best lineman in the state, but the height factor is killer if we are talking D1 ball. Will be a three year all league kid and potential lineman of the year within the conference.
20)
Sam Fisher
Strong kid that moves really well. Has done very well at the elite events and will provide Enumclaw with a solid 1-2 punch along side Streuli. 3.75 student.
