( The Region’s #1 WR Deshawn Stephens 6-4 195 Sr. ATH/S) There are a host of talented WR’s in the Pacific Northwest, but the #1 wide out hands down is Deshawn Stephens (6-4 190 Sr. WR/ATH/S) out of Putnam HS in Milwaukie, Oregon.

(Josh Harper 6-5 195 Sr. DE/TE Marist) High end academic and Ivy League type schools have always had a presence here in the northwest, but we have seen things start to pick up on the recruiting front for some of the region’s top smart kids.
