A name recruitniks need to keep in the back of their minds as we inch closer and closer to the start of the 2014 football season is that of Interlake (Bellevue, Wa.) LB Amahn Edwards. He’s a big, physical kid with great instincts, but because he’s made the switch from Garfield to the east side, there’s a very good chance you haven’t heard his name much. Edwards…
Lincoln (Tacoma, Wa.) WR Jayson Williams got some good news on Wednesday as Montana became the first school to offer the talented wideout. “Just received my first offer from University of Montana,” Williams told Northwest Elite Index shortly after receiving the good news. “They were up here last week to meet with our coaches and they came out to watch us in a 7-on-7 thing we were…
He’s the unquestioned leader of what will likely be one of the top offenses in the state of Washington this fall, but Eastlake (Sammamish, Wa.) QB Richard “Blue” Thomas is fighting a stigma due to his height or, rather, his lack of it. “I’m about 5’11 or 6’0 and I’m about 185 pounds, so I am not your typical quarterback, but I can do whatever is asked…

Skyline (Sammamish, Wa.) LB/DE Cameron Saffle has seen quite a few coaches come through his school the past few weeks and on Sunday, the day before Memorial Day, the talented defensive prospect hauled in an offer from Air Force, which had dropped by his school late last week. “Air Force was here last week and the coach that saw me said he’d be evaluating my film,” Saffle…
It’s been tough to keep track of one of the top in-state athletes in the 2016 class, but Northwest Elite Index was able to catch up with Jared Goldwire recently and he updated us on what school he’ll be attending this fall and how the summer after his sophomore year will be spent. We first got a look at Goldwire when he was lining up at left…
It’s been a busy spring for Lakes (Lakewood, Wa.) DL Benning Potoae and it’s going to be a busy summer as well. Northwest Elite Index caught up with the top-rated prospect recently and he updated us on his summer itinerary. “I’ve sorta been planning out my summer and where I am camping,” Potoae told NEI. “I’m going to visit Washington for their Rising Stars camp, I’m going…
A player many of us thought was one of the top in-state wideouts in the 2015 recruiting class has made the decision to switch schools and Jayson Williams said, while it wasn’t an easy one, it was the right move for him. “My family moved to the Tacoma School district, so it made sense for me to transfer to Lincoln,” Williams told Northwest Elite Index. “It was…
