Time to Get Caught Up in the ‘Wash’: “Welcome to the STEALTH Top 60 EJ Wash”

Amidst all of the chaos and misfortune of the present times, a phoenix always rises. Let’s introduce you to a young man whom we all should look to as that phoenix. This is a story that should provide you all with a beacon of hope and excellence in the young men being groomed for the future.

Elijah Wash is a junior wide receiver at Rancho Cucamonga High School in Southern California. He is better known to all as EJ. EJ recently broke into the Top 60 of the STEALTH Rating and Ranking platform. As you become more familiar with him through this article, you will see why he has such an upside to his future not only as an athlete, but more so as future engineer.

The STEALTH Rating and Ranking system is unique insomuch as it is an assessment tool that uses a mathematical algorithm to determine an objective rating for high school football student-athletes. It is the only rating system of its kind, accounting for the athlete’s character, work ethic, academics, and game readiness. These attributes are converted into a familiar ‘5-star’ rating which is recognized by all involved in high school football and college recruiting as having enormous value towards earning a college scholarship.

EJ scored a 3.29 star STEALTH Rating in his initial assessment. His coaches at Rancho Cucamonga High School conducted the assessment and seemed to really value his work ethic as one of his most significant attributes. Character and and academics did not fall very far behind EJ’s work ethic. The area where EJ has room for improvement is in his game readiness. Game readiness includes physical attributes such as size, speed and strength for his position, along with actual game performance and statistics.

In speaking with EJ about his overall rating, his main objective this summer is to improve his speed and footwork.

I’m running hills for speed and power, I’m running in the sand pits to build up my lower body strength and power for speed. I’m lifting weights to build my body. I’m watching film from last season to see the things I can improve on.

EJ’s goal is to build a physical and psychological edge over his opponents so that he’s uniquely prepared for the highest level of competition he’ll face this season. He understands that any improvement he can make in his performance on the field will help his football team win games, along with improving his opportunities to play football in college.

It is EJ’s work ethic and academic commitment ultimately that makes him highly desirable already to college coaches. He intends to major in engineering technology when he enters college. Look for EJ Wash to come out of the flames and the turmoil of today’s unfortunate chaos, and rise up like the glorious phoenix bird. He’s a STEALTH star already, but he’ll soon no longer be under the radar with the work he’s putting in.
