Its only January and you can see the list of top recruits making their way to the elite Barton events.. Our Camp sessions will only grow as the spring gets closer. Have a look at some of the Pacific Northwest’s Top kids, and get ready for ALL of the other athletes to follow suit as soon as basketball and wrestling comes to an end. These are the best camp &…
Speed is something that can not be taught. You are born with it. Of course you can train to improve your current times but that does not measure up to those that have the natural ability to just flat out go. O’Dea RB/DB Tatum Taylor (5-10, 160) is a prime example of why speed kills. The junior speedster helped lead Seattle’s O’Dea High School to the state championship game and…
One of the top linemen in the state this year was Eisenhower’s Michael Jones who tore up the Big Nine Conference this and earned First Team All-State honors on the offensive side of the ball by Northwest Elite Index. “As a junior I played only defensive end until the last game of the season,” Jones told NEI recently. “This year, I really used the offseason to help improve my technique…
He’s probably the best player in the state that people don’t know about, but that’s about to change. Jack Ezell (6-4 215 LB/FB Jr.) out of Pendelton is a kid with a non stop motor that sticks out on the football field. He is very similar to Oregon St Bound 5A Defensive Player of The Year Joel Skotte (6-3 225 LB/FB) of Mt View. Ezell was the Columbia River Conference…
One of the top tacklers in the state of Washington this past season was Inglemoor (Kenmore) LB Mikey Tupou who racked up an impressive 164 tackles (75 solo), one interception, two forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries while earning First Team All-Kingco 4A Crown Division and All-State recognition. “I’m more of an all-around player, but I like stopping the run,” Tupou told Northwest Elite Index recently. “I love being physical…
The ink was barely dry on our story about Kingston’s Sam Byers when he decided where he wants to play his college football for Air Force. “I got the offer from Air Force last Friday night and I thought about it a lot over the weekend,” Byers told NEI Thursday night. “I decided I wanted to commit to them and I called them (Wednesday) night and told them I was…
As a junior in 2010 Gonzaga Prep offensive lineman Max Kelly paved the way for record-setting running back Bishop Sankey. This past season he used his quick feet, long arms and smarts to lead the way for junior tailback Jordan Hare who rushed for over 1,400 yards and 15 touchdowns. “Our offense is an option offense so I feel the most comfortable blocking for the run, but I have good…
Football is everywhere and that includes North Portland and the Roosevelt Roughriders just had an outstanding season where they set a school record for points (38.4 Per Game). Its a tough area and things do not come easy but Head Coach Christian Swain has done a phenomenal job of breathing life into the program. The Rough Riders went 7-4 and lost a second round playoff game to 4A State Champion…
You will always get breaking news first at NEI and this announcement is huge! While still on their official visit, three of the Northwest’s top prospects called us immediately after committing to the University of Wyoming. Uso Olive (6-0 300 DL Federal Way), DJ May (5-11 185 RB/DB Federal Way), and Jayshawn Jordan (5-10 180 CB O’Dea) all have made their intentions know by deciding they will play their college…
As we go over the top senior athletes that are uncommitted we can look down the road to Eugene where Paxton Miller (6-1 1/2 240 DL/OL Sr.) will be waying his options carefully. The Marist stand out lineman was the leader of an offensive and defensive line that saw the Spartans go (23-2) over the last two seasons, and win two conference titles. They fell short of their ultimate goal…
