THE FEATURED FOUR
Liam Poulton-Claypool – Junior – Running Back/Safety
The Law Firm! A big-play safety, that has tremendous range. As fearless as they come. He relishes the moment, and wants to be the one that makes the play in the key moment.
Finn O’Malley – Senior – Guard/Linebacker
A four-year varsity player that Bellingham has always been able to count on. He could be moved outside to play receiver, but he’s already one of Bellingham’s best offensive lineman. One of the team’s top tacklers from last season as a linebacker.
Johnny Twedt – Senior – Wide Receiver/Cornerback
The one returning starting wide receiver, in a four-receiver set. He’ll get a bulk of the targets. A major speed threat on the outside, so corners better beware. Speaking of corner, he also plays that position and he finished with three passes broken up and an interception last season.
Daniel Reyes – Senior – Running Back/Linebacker
It will be rare to see him off the field in 2021. He’ll be running the ball, punting the ball, returning the ball, and tackling people with the ball. After leading his team in tackles last season, Reyes could have an even bigger impact this season.
Who will be Bellingham’s break-out player?
Javen Livas – Junior – Offensive Tackle/Defensive End
It all clicked for him during the final game of the season last year. Still only a junior, Livas could develop into the next great Bellingham offensive lineman. He will also be a major threat coming off the edge as a defensive end.
