FWIW, CollegeHockeyInc http://collegehockeyinc.com/commitments.php lists AA as 5'11.25", 166 lb. They do agree that he is a 2020 recruit.

I don’t know what the returning D looks like for Wenatchee but in the last 2 weeks they’ve traded for 2 D-men & one who many thought would spend the year in the USHL decided to stay in Wenatchee. This could be the season to see what we really have in Modry.

Last year they had 8 defensemen on their roster and dressed 7 for most games.

That makes sense since he is an incumbent, but he should be concerned.
