Oregon’s Top 15 LB’s (Class of 2022)

Oregon’s Top 100 athletes for the class of 2022 has just been released. I will go through each position group and break down what each athlete brings to the table. Have a look at the state’s top LBs, and please note individuals will only be listed on one side of the football based on where they project collegiately. <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2021/05/updated-2022-oregon-rankings-2/">https://prepredzone.com/2021/05/updated-2022-oregon-rankings-2/</a> &nbsp; <div>1.[player_tooltip player_id="28832" first="Lamar" last="Washington"] 6-4 220 Jefferson <strong>OFFERS: USC, UCLA, Oregon St, Nebraska, Cal, Arizona-</strong> Washington is an unreal overall athlete, listed as the top basketball player in Oregon for his class. He could very well be the state’s top football player as well if that’s what he chooses to pursue. His film speaks for itself. The kid is special.</div> <div>2.[player_tooltip player_id="143908" first="Brady" last="Kopetz"] 6-4 215 Lincoln <strong>OFFERS: Idaho St-</strong> Expect Kopetz to land additional offers over the off season as his stock should continue to rise. He has legit size and speed and was dominant during the spring season.</div> <div>3.[player_tooltip player_id="108147" first="Kellen" last="Hale"] 6-5 205 Tualatin- Hale had a phenomenal Spring earning 1st team all-league honors at LB. He could very well project at TE as well, impressing with his overall agility. You can’t teach 6-5 and athletic.</div> <div>4.[player_tooltip player_id="28845" first="Royce" last="Fasel"] 6-0 225 Glencoe- Hands down one of the top football players in Oregon. From a recruiting/projection standpoint he gets knocked because of size and speed. To me he is the exception to the rule. He was the only sophomore at the 6A level to earn all-state honors in 2019</div> <div>5.[player_tooltip player_id="28864" first="Zac" last="Waible"] 6-2 210 Lakeridge- Statistically he is one of the best in Oregon over the last two seasons. Waible is freakishly strong and is an outstanding overall athlete (Lacrosse-State Champs). Look for a big off season.</div> <div>6.[player_tooltip player_id="28855" first="Spencer" last="McKelligon"] 6-3 210 Jesuit- Mckelligon has the size and all of the tools to climb this list quickly. Recruiting wise expect him to project as the top athlete in what is a very talented 2022 JHS class.</div> <div>7.[player_tooltip player_id="28878" first="Max" last="von Arx"] 6-4 205 Grant- Von Arx broke out as a Sophomore earning 2nd team all-conference honors. He followed that up with a nice junior year and brings legit size and overall athleticism to the table (basketball).</div> <div>8.[player_tooltip player_id="28862" first="Nui" last="Tovey"] 6-3 225 Lakeridge- Tovey projects as an OLB/DE at the next level. He had an outstanding junior season, racking up TRL defensive POY accolades in the state’s toughest conference. With continued progression the sky’s the limit.</div> <div>9.[player_tooltip player_id="28863" first="Gavin" last="McGuire"] 6-0 200 Lake Oswego- McGuire made a name for himself as a Sophomore in the state playoffs, looking like one of the top defenders in Oregon. He comes from a talented family with size, with brother Marshall McGuire at Syracuse for lacrosse.</div> <div>10.[player_tooltip player_id="28899" first="Charlie" last="White"] 6-3 225 Banks- Not a lot of people know about White playing 4A ball, but watching his film you see a big kid who can move. He impressed offensively with yards after the catch, while projecting on D at the next level.</div> <div>11.[player_tooltip player_id="28871" first="Brycen" last="Indell"] 6-0 210 Willamette- Indell should be considered a 5A POY candidate and one of the top dual threat athletes in Oregon. He earned 1st team all-league honors accounting for 82 tackles (60 solo) with 11 tackles for loss.</div> <div>12.[player_tooltip player_id="28857" first="Jackson" last="Biedritzky"] 6-3 210 Tualatin- Biedritzky has D1 potential and could very well be one of Oregon’s breakout performers next season. He earned honorable mention all-conference accolades as a Junior, and could climb this list quickly.</div> <div>13.[player_tooltip player_id="28848" first="Joe" last="Brauckmiller"] 6-4 190 Canby- Another individual who folks don’t necessarily know a lot about, but he has great size and has put together outstanding back-to-back seasons. Accounted for 113 tackles (76 solo) and 3 sacks over the last two years.</div> <div>14.[player_tooltip player_id="28856" first="Waylon" last="Wolfe"] 6-1 210 Lebanon- Wolfe earned 5A all state accolades as a Sophomore and is a physically gifted athlete. His overall athleticism (1st team TE) should help him from a recruiting standpoint, while projecting on D.</div> <div>15.[player_tooltip player_id="28865" first="Andrew" last="Collins"] 5-11 195 Barlow- He’s undersized from a projection standpoint, but just a very good football player. He put himself on the map after an outstanding sophomore year which saw him help the Bruins to the 6A state semifinals.</div> &nbsp;
