Gatorade has named Lake Stevens running back Jayden Limar is the 2022 Washington Football Player of the Year. Limar was a critical part of the Vikings 4A state championship team.

Below is a snippet from Gatorade’s news release on the Oregon-recruit:

The 5-foot-11, 190-pound senior running back led the Vikings to a 12-2 record and the Class 4A state championship this past season. Limar rushed for 2,040 yards and 36 touchdowns, including 13 rushing TDs in Lake Stevens High School’s four-game postseason run to the state title. He also caught 26 passes for 330 yards and four scores and threw a touchdown pass. A three-time Class 4A First Team All-State selection, he is ranked as the nation’s No. 144 recruit in the Class of 2023 by Rivals.com.

Limar has volunteered locally at the Alatheia Therapeutic Riding Center, a non-profit horseback-riding center for people with special needs. He has also donated his time as a youth football coach and as part of multiple community service initiatives through his church youth group. “Jayden is a phenomenal player and an even better person,” said Tyler Tuiasosopo, head coach of Mariner High School. “From afar, he is everything a leader and captain should be. He is a game-changer.”
