In part two of our update, we are bringing more updates on 14 of the very best athletes from all over the Pacific NW who have landed new offers, made verbal commits, or released some news. In Part 1 this week we covered 10 athletes and they all gained some extra coverage and eyeballs. The great thing about the December early signing period which started last month is that most of the big names are off the board. This has for the first time ever put the focus on the much larger group of talented Seniors who often have to wait for the colleges and universities to get the letters from their top tier recruits on National Letter of Intent Day. That does not seem to be the case this year. We love this development! Below you will find a wide variety of names from all over the NW. Some have their first offer, others have made a verbal commitment. Here are tonight’s updates:
Malakai Salu- Central Catholic (OR) – Navy official visit was just completed and he just walked off the field in Hawaii at the Polynesian Bowl. This young man is one of the best LB in the West!
Huge thank you to @NAVYCoachKen and @CoachJDavis14 for having me here at the Naval Academy this weekend for an amazing official visit🙏🏽⚓️ pic.twitter.com/Rp5Gz5tUBP

Dayshawn Neal- Hermiston High School (OR)- The amazing athlete and State Champ finally broke through with an offer. The question we have is why are the in-state schools not offering this kid? All he does is win!! Congrats Dayshawn.
Blessed to receive my first offer from Missouri Baptist University 🙏🏽☝🏽 @coachcraigneece pic.twitter.com/DAuQHv4eW8

Darius Martin Junior- Clackamas HS (OR) – CB/OLB – Siskiyous JC. Let us give a major plug here for Siskyou’s JC in Weed CA. They have a package for Oregon athletes that allows a recruit to play in California and pay not more than $10,200 for Tuition and Housing and that amount is reduced by FAFSA -Pell Grant Money. Better yet the JC route allows aspiring athletes the ability to move on after 1 or 2 years depending on their grades. This route is a solid one for tryly talented athletes. JC Football is not for those who are not a great fit at D1 or D2.
Blessed to receive my first offer from the College of Siskiyous #GoEagles pic.twitter.com/5giUg2Aa1Y

Jaden Sheffey – Woodinville (WA) – All he did was win, put on an offensive showcase every Friday, and come within a few points of a State Title with his boys. He is a duel threat guy and if Linfield lands him it will be a bountiful harvest no doubt! Way to go Sheff!
To God be the glory! Very thankful to receive a spot to compete and further my education at Linfield! Thank you coaches @CoachSmithCats @coachboehme @DBCoachRobi pic.twitter.com/5xVZJLaYWP
