"Coming off the program's highest finish since 2013 and the most wins since the 2014 season; I believe our staff and players have done a great job and capitalized on that momentum with another great recruiting class in 2023. Our process is deliberately slow and thorough so we can continue to yield the best high school football players that are the right fit for PLU and the championship football program we are working to build,"
-Head Coach Brant McAdams
Defensive Line
“We made a concerted effort in this year’s DL class to get stronger and longer. This group joins a DL that has been top two in Sacks and TFLs over the last two seasons. This room will be just as competitive as our OL with a talented incoming class and a group of returners that only graduated one starter from last season.”
Cole Becker
Lake Stevens, Wash. / Lake Stevens HS
"Very athletic hard nosed student-athlete from last year's WA 4A State Champions. Cole will also play Baseball here at PLU...a true 2-sporter. His skill set fits all the movement elements and variety of our DL. We look forward to Cole moving right into the competition at our DE slots."
Emerson Wilson
Burlington, Wash. / Burlington-Edison HS
"Outstanding student-athlete out from a great program in Burlington-Edison HS. Also played HS basketball. Moves well in space & excels at block-defeat (well-coached). Brings the grit at the point-of-attack. We love his finish & football fire…he’ll be in the mix in a packed-house DE group."
Calvin Cummings
Agoura, Calif. / Agoura HS
"SoCal recruit from the top HS league in the Ventura/Conejo Valley. Calvin comes from a football family so we know he understands the grit/grind of what this game demands. Great feet & pad-level…fits the profile for what we do on defense. Fired up to see his development in the program."
