Reebok Top 25 Most Dynamic Athletes: Isaiah Brandt-Sims

After a disappointing 1-4 start last fall, Brandt-Sims went on a tear to help Wenatchee win its last five games. The Panthers averaged 38 points per game in the process. He was named Columbia Basin Big Nine Conference Offensive Player of the Year for his efforts.

Expectations are high heading into 2013. Christian joins Isaiah on the varsity team and the Panthers should be tough up front with two-way standout Jakob Stoll and 6-7 junior Trey Adams, who has already given a verbal commitment to the University of Washington.

A look at Brandt-Sims' gridiron highlights:

* Despite missing time with injuries, he ran for 1,400 yards and 20 touchdowns (a school record) on 187 carries as a junior en route to league MVP honors. Also caught 21 passes for 317 yards and five scores.

* He helped get Wenatchee's five-game win streak rolling with 109 yards and two touchdowns in a 34-9 win over Eisenhower (Yakima) in early October.

* He needed just 16 carries to amass 289 yards and four scores on the ground in a 53-10 win over A.C. Davis (Yakima). Brandt-Sims scored on runs of 80, 52 and 55 yards.

* He piled up 259 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 25 carries in a 48-20 win over Moses Lake.

* He scored the only touchdown of the game in a 7-0 late October win over bitter rival Eastmont, which had whipped the Panthers 34-14 earlier in the season.

* He tallied 230 total yards – including 183 on the ground – with three touchdowns in season finale, a 48-6 win over Sunnyside.

* He is expected to play a hybrid role in the Stanford offense. According to Brandt-Sims, head coach David Shaw and staff liken him to current Cardinal junior Kelsey Young, who is listed as both a running back and wide receiver on the program's roster.
