An athlete that has gone under the radar as much as anyone is Barlow lineman Garrett Stauffer (6-3 260 Sr. OL/DL). The kid is legit on multiple levels, and will jump up our rankings board immediately after earning 1st team all-league honors on both sides of the ball in 2012. The Bruins have athletes coming back at the skill positions with talented kids up front….
The addition of Elvis Akpla to the Barton Football Academy as Head Oregon WR coach is big on many different levels. Head BFA WR coach Mike Bush is as good as they come up in Washington and Akpla only adds to the arsenal. Other coaches include the likes of the Nation’s #1 projected college TE in Austin Seferian-Jenkins, and UW All-Pac 12 Wide out Kasen…
As the 2013 season draws near we take a look at some of the potential breakout athletes statewide. One kid that sticks out like a sore thumb is 6-8 230 pound defensive end Drake Brennen of Grants Pass. It’s no secret that the Cavemen have struggled over the past few seasons going (12-30) over the last 4 years. That said, anyone familiar with Oregon High…
Over the next week we will be posting overviews of the 2014 Oregon and Washington updated rankings by position. All of us at NEI and the Barton Football Academy feel fortunate to be able to work with a majority of the region’s top athletes. There’s not a perfect ranking system, but we do our best based on all of the criteria listed. The Pacific Northwest is the fastest growing football…
The kids out of 3A Horizon Christian are a group that we have gotten to know well over the last few seasons, as they featured multiple D1 athletes on last year’s roster. All-everything Northwest standout Wyatt Houston is now on full scholarship at one of the fastest rising D1 programs in America in Utah St. He was Oregon’s #1 ranked TE last season, and is now competing for the…
We are always sensitive about reporting on athletes that are still really young, but both of these kids project as two of the top athletes in the country for the 2017 class. Even more impressive is that they are outstanding character kids and legit role models amongst their peers. Many may be familiar with the last name, as West Linn, Oregon freshman standout Elijah Molden…
While most of the PIL is currently in decline, the Roosevelt Roughriders are thriving under the leadership of Coach Christian Swain and his staff. They went (7-4) last season for the second year in a row, and bring back 4 kids who already hold D1 offers. Quarterback Kimane Domena (6-2 185 Jr.) is quickly becoming one of the most recruited dual threat QB’s in the…

A kid quickly jumping up the charts is Issaquah (Wash.) QB Jack Neary (6-3 200 Sr.). He has had an impressive offseason thus far and will come back as the leader of a very promising Eagles squad. Neary is surrounded by a group of talented athletes who make up one of the most respected programs in Washington. Since 2008 Issaquah has gone 32-15, playing in…
