Would have been ranked higher, but injuries kept him down for much of the season. Awesome overall athlete with tremendous agility. Had seven catches against Lynden Christian. His eighth catch of the game was ruled incomplete on an amazing sideline reception. The film later showed he was in bounds. One of only two players in Whatcom County this season to score a touchdown on offense, defense and special teams. His athletic, and physical play at safety set the tone for the Blaine defense early in the season.
