(Michael Cummings 6-1 230 Jr. LB Meadowdale HS) At Sunday’s Barton Combine at Issaquah High School, Meadowdale LB Michael Cummings came to show what he could do and he did just that.

WR/DB), while at our regional combine at West Salem. The kid from Southridge out of Beaverton did more of the same running crisp routes, and catching anything thrown his way. Morgan attended the NFTC in…
Like a lot of prospects with a Polynesian background, Rainier Beach OL Leo Pili-Vaka is a man of few words. He prefers to let his play on the field do the talking and over the past two years, he’s been about as impressive an athlete as we at Northwest Elite Index have seen. The moment he walks on the field, the first thing you notice is that he’s bigger than…
One of the top players in the state of Oregon for the 2014 class is Lake Oswego sophomore Nick Underwood (6-1 215 So. LB/RB).

We feel very fortunate at NEI and the Barton Football Academy to work with the Northwest’s top athletes, and different football programs from every level across the country.

(Darrin Laufasa 6-2 225 Jr. RB/LB) (Ross Bowers 6-2 175 Fr. QB) (Chase Madsen 6-4 275 Jr. OL) As we break down the top teams in Washington there is one specific program that sticks out more than the others going into 2012. The Bothell Cougars are going to be super talented and if there was one program that…
(Yadie Dunmore 6-0 175 So. ATH #11 With NEI (Taylor Barton, Jordan Johnson, and James Laurence) If the last name sounds familiar its because his brother Oshay Dunmore (6-3 215 Sr. ATH) is one of the country’s top overall athletes, and will be a proud member of the Oregon Ducks come next fall.
