Blake Moser’s Growing Populist Appeal

The Viking signal caller runs away with state player of the week voting, claiming over 57% of the 1900 votes cast in ten player poll.

LAKE STEVENS — The “It factor”.

Every program wants a quarterback that has “It”.

Defensive coordinators wake up in cold sweats about QBs with “It”.

How can you tell if a player’s got “It”? Well, as a Supreme Court justice famously ruled on pornography:

You just know it when you see it.

And apparently, hundreds and hundreds of prep football fans believe Lake Stevens’ junior QB Blake Moser is in possession of a certain quality.

To be more specific, over 1,100 voters backed the Viking signal caller in the Varsity WA state player of the week poll, with Moser lapping luminaries like Anacortes’ star QB Ryan Harrington, Graham-Kapowsin sophomore QB A.J. Tuivaiave, and Sumner WR Braylon Pope, who was last seen putting up four TDs on the Lake Stevens defense.

Of the 1,934 votes cast in the ten player poll, Moser received 1,110 — or 57% of total. The other nine players split the remaining 43%, with Nooksack Valley’s Evan Brian and Harrington holding down second and third.

In his first varsity start since taking over the helm from the talismanic four-year starter Kolton Matson (99 career TD passes, 2 state titles, 2023 Gatorade Player of the Year) Moser went 21-36 for 183 yards (2TD 1 int) passing, adding 90 yards on nine carries and a TD on the ground.

More importantly, Moser led the then-#4 Vikings to a 31-28 come-from-behind win over #1 (and reigning state champion) Sumner, with the night culminating in an instant-classic 80-yard drive in which Moser went 8/9 passing, rushed twice, accounted for all 80 yards, used up all but two-tenths of a second of game time and as the clock spun towards triple zeroes, rolled right and rifled a 15-yard TD to junior WR Seth Price in the home corner of the end zone.

The 2027 phenom showcased breathtaking speed (clocked at a program-record 4.47 in the spring combine) on a 35 yard TD run and a key 22-yard 4th quarter scramble; and repeatedly weaponized his cannon of a right arm — an arm that regularly brushed 95 mph on the pro radar guns brandished from the stands during the 5’11 165-pound Perfect Game sophomore Pre Season All American’s recently-completed campaign with Viking baseball. Moser used the whip attached to his right shoulder to whistle the pigskin from hash to sideline with precision and straight line, dart-to-dartboard type efficiency and accuracy.
