So please feel free to email suggestions of players with links to hudl film to dame22@msn.com . I would love to get to know some of these players on this list better and possibly do interviews with some of you that are listed so feel free to email me with your contact information and 2017 game schedule if you’re interested. Have a great 2017 football season.

 

Stay tuned, the 1st annual NWPR 2017 Preseason TOP 5 List of Eastern Washington DEFENSIVE Position Units will be released in a few days.  


Editors Note:  To Our many readers and fans.  The work Coach Walter is doing for the Pacific NW athlete by jumping in and helping me find the next great talents is amazing!  In his 5 articles so far we have seen athletes Hudl Views triple in a few days.  Hundreds of people have shared each story and Coaches at colleges are finding kids they never knew about.  In this day and Age of PAID RECRUITING and SCOUTING services NWPR stands alone as a Free and Independent Voice that will NOT ACCEPT payment to write stories or promote kids (Yes People ask us all the time).

We need a few more former players or Coaches or just flat out Football Lovers – even students – who have an eye for the game and the talented kids that play it to join us.  We want YOU to apply or write us to cover your area or League as a Guest Analyst for NWPR.  The work you do for the kids will change lives and leave you a richer soul as a result!  E mail me at dirkknudsen@gmail.com if you want to jump in and become a contributing member of our all Volunteer staff!

Find The Next Great Recruit

Here is a perfect example of what I am talking about.  Coach Walter covered many players above in his Top 5 Offense list that I did not know about.  I watched each HUDL film and already have some emails to Coahces going out.  In just 1 example of an athlete who can rise up to the top we looked at CJ Johnson out of Cheney HS.  Coach posted that CJ has a 10.60 100 Meter.

Folks that is world class speed.  Charles “CJ” Johnson has a piece of film here that any Coach at the college level will be salivating over.  He is a walking highlight reel but because he is way out East in Cheney or just has not got his break yet his HUDL has 100 views.  I want all of you to Watch and share the terrific work that CJ is doing and see his Wolrd Class speed and Highlight.  He is D1 material- I think perhaps capable of playing at the very highest level and has his best football ahead.

CJ great job!  Every one of the guys in this story is among the best in the game.  ALl of them need our help and your help!
