&nbsp; <div>With Oregon’s Top 100 athletes for the class of 2022 just being 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 15 RB’s/ATH’s</div> <div></div> <div><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2021/05/updated-2022-oregon-rankings-2/">https://prepredzone.com/2021/05/updated-2022-oregon-rankings-2/</a></div> &nbsp; &nbsp; <p style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"><strong>RB</strong></p> <p style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">1.[player_tooltip player_id="28882" first="Gabe" last="Olvera"] 5-10 180 Lake Oswego- One of the fastest rising athletes in the state of Oregon. Olvera went for over 200+ yards multiple times during a four-game season. His ability to cut and accelerate separates him from his peers.</p> 2.[player_tooltip player_id="28852" first="Lucas" last="Tuski"] 6-0 215 Marist- Tuski is a big and physical back, who not a lot of people know about playing 4A ball. As a sophomore he earned 2nd team all-state honors going for 24 TDs. Look for him to be a POY favorite at his classification level. 3.[player_tooltip player_id="108144" first="Caleb" last="Kim"] 5-10 185 Sunset- Kim went for 15 TDs in 6 games, averaging 7.7 ypc, while helping the Apollos (6-0) to one of their best seasons in school history, finishing as the #2 team in the state. 4.[player_tooltip player_id="28888" first="Michael" last="Rincon"] 5-10 180 Jesuit- The spring season wasn’t a typical year for the Crusaders, but Rincon played well and carried the ball 20+ times a game, going for 200+. 5.[player_tooltip player_id="28881" first="Price" last="Pothier"] 5-8 175 Newberg- If it wasn’t for being undersized Pothier could make a case for being the top RB in the state. He put up some ridiculous #’s on the year and was a big reason for the Tigers success. <strong>ATH</strong> 1.[player_tooltip player_id="28834" first="Aaron" last="Jones"] 5-10 180 Westview <strong>OFFERS: Oregon St, BYU, Colorado St, Air Force, Nevada + Ivy’s-</strong> Jones made the move to Utah, playing with high profile teammates [player_tooltip player_id="28833" first="Darrius" last="Clemons"] &amp; [player_tooltip player_id="110171" first="Sam" last="Leavitt"] during the fall. There are few who are better in space or as a return man. You can expect his Wildcats to be a potential top 10 team next season. 2.[player_tooltip player_id="28843" first="Malik" last="Ross"] 6-0 190 Tualatin- Overall just a very talented athlete. If we are talking on the most versatile kids state wide, Ross sits at the top of the charts. His ability on the basketball floor also speaks to his athleticism. 3.[player_tooltip player_id="28868" first="Kyron" last="Albright"] 6-1 190 Beaverton- Albright had an outstanding off season and is one of the fastest kids in Oregon. That said as the Beavers have lost a lot of depth, and will need Kyron to step up and then some, if they want to compete next year. 4.[player_tooltip player_id="28877" first="Gunner" last="Yates"] 5-11 190 Coquille- It’s rare for a small school athlete to represent but this is definitely the exception to the rule. Gunner comes from an incredibly talented family and can play multiple spots on the field, with his father Griff Yates being an All-American RB at Southern Oregon before moving on to play with the SF 49ers. <span style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">5.[player_tooltip player_id="28898" first="Jamar" last="Flippen"] 5-10 175 Banks- As a Sophomore Jamar was one of the most accomplished dual threat athletes state wide. He had an outstanding off season and should be dominant at the 4A level. </span> 6.<strong>Imarion Kelly</strong> 6-2 190 Roosevelt- Kelly’s versatility is appealing from a recruiting standpoint as he can play 3-4 different spots on the field equally well. He is the Roughriders primary QB. 7.[player_tooltip player_id="28849" first="Jae’Sean" last="Pete"] 5-10 190 Grant- Pete broke out as a sophomore earning 2nd team all-conference accolades. He could be a problem, teaming with one of the best 23’s in the NW in Donald Stephens Jr. 8.[player_tooltip player_id="28880" first="Xavier" last="Simpson"] 5-9 170 Central Catholic- One of the fastest kids in the Northwest, running a 10.6 100 Meters. Look for the Rams to get Xavier in space as much as possible. 9.[player_tooltip player_id="28884" first="Gavin" last="Knights"] 5-9 165 Thurston- Knights is hands down one of the most exciting athletes to watch in Oregon. He’s undersized but should be considered a contender for 5A POY honors. 10.[player_tooltip player_id="28915" first="Vandon" last="Fessler"] 5-11 160 Silverton- Super talented kid leading the state in receiving yards this past Spring. If he does well on the camp circuit and has another good year he could do well collegiately.
