Jake Tumblin followed Nick Streubel’s blocks on the football field.

Now, the Coupeville High School senior running back would like to follow his fellow gridiron warrior to Central Washington University to play college football.

Streubel, a 1A All-State lineman, is signing his letter of intent with CWU Wednesday, Feb. 5 (National Signing Day), having accepted their scholarship offer.

Tumblin was invited to Ellensburg last weekend to participate in a tryout for Wildcat coaches, and, while he will have to wait for a few days to find out if CWU is interested (“They said between Wednesday and the weekend”), Tumblin left the tryout in good spirits.

“It was good! Felt like I did well,” he said. “They just wanted us to do some drills, see us move a little bit.”

Tumblin was tested in a twenty-yard dash and vertical jump, then did positional drills. For him, that meant putting in work as both a defensive back and running back.

Afterwards he and the others took a tour of the campus.

The Seattle Times has tabbed its Top 100 high school football recruits from Washington state’s Class of 2014, and there’s one player from Whidbey Island on the list.

And he’s not from 3A Oak Harbor, he’s from 1A Coupeville.

Wolf senior lineman Nick Streubel, who has verbally committed to Central Washington University, is on the list headed up by Bellevue blue chip prospect Budda Baker.

Along with being the only player from Whidbey on the list, The Big Hurt is also the only player from the 1A/2A Cascade Conference to be selected.

Apparently all that King’s and ATM money couldn’t buy a top prospect this year…

Nick Streubel is staying in-state.

The Coupeville High School senior lineman, a 1A all-state player this past season, verbally committed to Central Washington University Sunday.

He expects to sign with them, accept their scholarship offer and take his football skills to Ellensburg.

Streubel and parents David and Nanette made an official recruiting trip to the campus this weekend and came away impressed with what they saw.

“I’ve always loved Central from when I went there for footall camp as a freshman and loved it ever since,” Nick Streubel said. “The coaching staff is great and fun to be around, as well.”

The Wildcats will be playing for a new coach, having recently hired Ian Shoemaker from a field of 55 applicants.

He spent the past six seasons as the co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota. While he was there, the Huskies made the playoffs three of the last four years.

CWU, which competes at the NCAA Division II level, has won the conference championship in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference seven of the last 11 seasons. They went 7-4 in 2013.
