Washington’s Top 65 Sophomores

Bishard Baker 5-11 180 RB/DB- Bellevue
Washington’s #1 recruit

1) Bellevue RB/DB Bishard Baker (5’11, 180) – Powerful runner with breakaway speed. Didn’t put up big numbers as he could have if he were the featured back, but many expect him to be one of the top runners in the country in the 2014 class and some feel he could be a top 50 overall prospect after a big junior season. Could be a stud on either side of the ball, but projects better on the offensive side.

2) Issaquah RB Jack Gelatly (5’11, 190) – Has started as both a freshman and sophomore for the Eagles and earned First Team All-Kingco 4A Crest Division. Gelatly has great instincts, outstanding quickness and he’s tough. He also is faster than people give him credit for and is able to break away from the pack when he gets in the open field.

3) Ferris (Spokane) DB Cole Karstetter (5’11, 170) – Talented DB who was a real difference-maker for the Saxons when he returned the field after suffering a broken arm early in the year. His older brother Jared played wide receiver for Washington State.

4) Kamiakin (Kennewick) QB Kyle Robertson (6’0, 180) – Smart and possesses a great arm. Has the chance to put up big numbers in the Braves’ wide-open offensive attack. Took the place of an injured Jason Hutchinson and led his team to key win late in the season.

5) Union (Vancouver) LB Jake Hawken (6’3, 210) – Hawken started both ways for the Titans this last season and looked great. He runs well and has a nose for the ball. It will be interesting to see how much he improves his strength and recognition skills over the offseason because a big junior season in 2012 could be quite a few scholarship offers.

6) Snohomish DB Russell Crippen (6’1, 190) – Earned Second Team All-Wesco 4A as a sophomore in 2011 after posting over 50 tackles and four interceptions. Talented two-way prospect who has good range and instincts when the ball is in the air. Likely a better fit on defense.

7) Chiawana (Pasco) DL Kayden Maughn (6’3, 225) – Talented line prospect who earned First Team All-Big Nine 4A as a sophomore. He’s athletic, but he’s at his best when asked to drive his man off the ball.

8) Mead (Spokane) OL Jonah Jordan (6’0, 260) – Does his best work paving the way for talented junior Davian Barlow, but has good enough feet to be a good pass-blocker down the road.

5-11 165 RB, Washington’s 100 & 200 Meter state champ

9) Camas (Vancouver) Nate Beasley (5’11, 170) – Talented DB prospect who could play corner or safety. Physical against the run and has good speed to cover men deep.

10) Eastside Catholic (Sammamish) DL Elisha Pa’aga (5’9, 250) – 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.

11) Meadowdale (Lynnwood) DB Josiah Evans (5’11, 165) – Talented corner prospect who has the skills necessary to vault his way up the charts with a big junior season. Earned First Team All-Wesco 3A honors in 2011.

12) Southridge (Kennewick) DL Trey Tutt (6’4, 255) – 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.

13) Camas (Vancouver) DL Chris Durrette (6’2, 270) – Sophomore defensive lineman who played quite a bit for a very talented Camas squad.

14) Wenatchee RB Isaiah Brandt-Sims (5’11, 165) – Speedster who split carries in 2011. Should end up handling more of the workload in 2012 and that’s when we will get a chance to see what he can really do. 100 & 200 Meter state champion as a freshman

15) O’Dea (Seattle) QB Pierre LeDorze (6’1, 220) – Has a big body and a strong arm, but needs to work on accuracy. Because he plays in such a run-oriented offense, LeDorze won’t put up big numbers, but there is no denying he is an intriguing prospect to keep an eye on.

16) Eisenhower (Yakima) WR Darius Pati (6’3, 180) – Catching passes from Kolney Cassel, Pati should put up some huge numbers in 2012. He’s long, has great hands and he runs really well. Received Honorable Mention All-Big Nine honors in 2011 after posting 29 receptions for 386 yards and two touchdowns.

17) Timberline (Lacey) OL Cole Steven (6’2, 280) – Great drive-blocker who has a chance to really improve this year if he hits the camp circuit.

18) Bothell Andrew Golubovich (6’3, 255) – Started as a sophomore for the Cougars and could be a very good drive-blocker in the future.

19) Bellarmine Prep (Tacoma) DB Brandon Thompson (5’9, 180) – Plays the ball well in the air and comes up strong against the run.

20) Capital (Olympia) QB Derrick Becker (6’0, 165) – Talented dual-threat signal-caller who helped lead the Cougars to the state playoffs.

21) Issaquah WR Reed Peterson (6’0, 170) – Earned First Team All-Kingco 4A Crest Division honors hauling in 45 receptions for nearly 800 yards and eight touchdowns.

22) Cleveland (Seattle) TE Cartier Darden (6’3, 210) – Physically talented tight end prospect who has the size, speed and athleticism to be a player to watch next fall. Second Team All-Metro as a sophomore in 2011.

23) Wenatchee DL Jacob Stoll (6’2, 240) – Physical at the point and can run. Named Honorable Mention All-Big Nine as a sophomore in 2011.

24) Mercer Island OL Brad Kimball (6’3, 220) – Played only OL in 2012, it will be interesting to see where he ultimately ends up. Islander coaches love his potential on defense.

25) Foss (Tacoma) LB Patiole Pesefsa (6’0, 250) – Talented linebacker prospect who will likely end up on the defensive line at the next level.

26) Central Valley (Veradale) DB Adam Chamberlain (6’0, 190) – Lock-down DB who has ball skills.

27) Sultan OL Taylor Comfort (6’2, 225) – Athletic line prospect who earned Second Team All-Cascade honors as a sophomore in 2011.

28) Chiawana (Pasco) LB Alex Weber (5’11, 190) – Earned Second Team All-Big Nine as a sophomore in 2011 after posting 72 tackles and one interception.

29) Wenatchee RB Spencer Smith (5’9, 170) – Smith put up solid numbers for the Panthers this past season, but he isn’t a dynamic runner. What he does best is move the chains.

30) Edmonds-Woodway LB Mac McLachlan (6’0, 190) – Talented linebacker who earned First Team All-Wesco 4A South honors in 2011 after posting 45 tackles and one sack.

31) Jackson (Mill Creek) WR Trevante Robinson (5’7, 150) – Speedster who is shifty with the ball in his hands.
