Oregon Defensive MVP’s- Week 2

<strong>OREGON CO-DEFENSIVE Player of the Week:</strong> [player_tooltip player_id="110179" first="Drew" last="Rodriguez"] 23’ S/WR Sprague- It’s only two weeks in, but Rodriguez should be considered the conference POY favorite, potentially on both sides of the football. He added another 3 TDs, with one of those being an INT return for a touchdown. The second week in a row he has scored on D. [player_tooltip player_id="28863" first="Gavin" last="McGuire"] 22’ OLB Lake Oswego- I became a huge advocate of McGuire a few years back when he dominated Jesuit as a Sophomore in the state semifinals. His 3 sacks and 4 tackles for loss were telling in the teams 48-20 win over Sherwood. In the last two games he has (5 sacks &amp; 7 TFL). &nbsp; <strong>Jaydon McBreen</strong> 23’ DB/ATH Westview- The Junior had his coming out party against Mountainside, totaling 3 touchdowns, two of which were interception returns. A lot of credit to head coach Ryan Atkinson as he has his guys dialed on both sides of the football. Expect to hear a lot more about the 5-8 DB as the year progresses. [player_tooltip player_id="108147" first="Kellen" last="Hale"] 22’ LB/TE/ [player_tooltip player_id="110178" first="Jack" last="Wagner"] 23’ S/QB Tualatin- The 6-5 210-pound 1st team all-league returner (Hale) could be next up if we are talking D1 offered kids. He was incredibly impressive on D making 11 total tackels, to go with one of Oregon’s top ranked 23’s in Wagner. Jack showed why he is considered one of the top dual threat kids in the state, filling in nicely at QB for the inured [player_tooltip player_id="28854" first="Jackson" last="Jones"] and also making 10 tackles. The T-Wolves held on to beat the state’s #2 ranked 5A team in Silverton. [player_tooltip player_id="28893" first="Johnny" last="Miller"] 22’ WLB/S Jesuit- Miller was my sleeper for Metro League defensive POY honors before the season started, and he has shown why early. His 2 INTs against Tigard, were a big part of the outstanding defensive performance from the Crusaders, in the 17-7 win over Tigard. <strong>Erick Gonzalez</strong> 23’ CB/ATH North Salem- The 5-10 160-pound 3 sport athlete picked off two passes, returning one for a TD, in the 48-21 loss to South Albany. He looks to be one of the top defenders and DB’s in Oregon at the 5A level. [player_tooltip player_id="143911" first="Jake" last="Reichle"] 22’ S/RB Lakeridge- The Pacers took it easy on Jeff, pulling up early, in the 41-6 win. Reichle was my leading candidate for TRL POY honors, picking off 2 passes, after rushing for close to 200 yards the week before against Sherwood. Look for multiple D1’s to go on him in the coming weeks. <strong>Sam Lewis</strong> 24’ DB Nelson- The Sophomore had the first 2 INT game in school history as the kids out of Happy Valley are looking to build the program. They dropped this one 26-6 to Gresham <strong>Parker Treloar</strong> 22’ OLB Liberty- The 6-2 225 relatively unknown outside backer had a nice night, making 8 solo tackles with 3 tackles for loss. He has been very influential in the Falcons back-to-back shutouts, beating their opponents by a combined score of 108-0.
