Northwest Nuggets through the years: Who are the top football recruits from the region since 1988?
The 2019 class of Northwest Nuggets marks the 32nd publication of the annual football recruiting package — which is the longest-running football recruiting package on the West Coast — since The News Tribune started producing it in 1988.
Including this year, there have been 355 players from the region honored, including 226 from Washington, 97 from Oregon, 26 from Idaho, five from Alaska and one from British Columbia.
Here’s who they are — broken down by year, high school, college commitment and position.
Note: Colleges listed for each player are the school the player was committed to when that year’s list of Northwest Nuggets was published. Some players flipped commitments before signing their National Letters of Intent, or later transferred to different schools.
