RB
1. Jake Reichle Jake Reichle 6'3" | 185 lbs | DB Lakeridge | 2022 State OR 6-3 200 Lakeridge- Expect Reichle to have a handful of D1 offers before everything is said and done. He is on multiple D1aa and Mid Major recruiting boards, projecting on the defensive side of the ball. Offensively he has been dominant as well, averaging close to 200 all-purpose yards per game (10 yards per carry), with 14 TDs in 7 games.
2. Royce Fasel Royce Fasel 6'0" | 225 lbs | LB Glencoe | 2022 State OR 6-0 235 Glencoe- Fasel has literally put the team on his back this season, averaging over 200 yards per game rushing from the QB spot, with a state leading 19 TDs thus far. He projects as a collegiate FB or LB but should be considered a leading candidate for Oregon 6A POY honors offensively as well.
3. Malik Ross Malik Ross 6'0" | 190 lbs | ATH Tualatin | 2022 State OR 6-0 190 Tualatin- Also maybe the state’s top kick returner. Ross has been carrying the rock, but will most likely be split out on offense or in the secondary collegiately. Expect him to play D1 ball at some level.
4. Brady Kopetz Brady Kopetz 6'4" | 215 lbs | LB Lincoln | 2022 State OR 6-4 220 Lincoln (OFFERS: E.Washington, N.Arizona, PSU, Idaho St) – Kopetz is another kid who projects defensively, already landing multiple D1 offers. The Cardinals have the luxury of handing the big man the ball and letting him do his thing. On the year he has accounted for over 1100 yards on the ground and 15 TDs in 7 games.
5. Gunner Yates Gunner Yates 5'11" | 190 lbs | ATH Coquille | 2022 State OR 5-11 195 Coquille- Not a lot of people know about him playing small school 2A ball, but Yates is the real deal. He should be considered the overwhelming favorite for state POY honors coming from a football family with NFL genes (Former Southern Oregon U All American- Griff Yates)
6. Logan Person Logan Person 6'1" | 190 lbs | DB Dallas | 2022 State OR 6-1 185 Dallas- One of the most impressive overall athletes state wide. Get him in space and he is always a threat to go the distance. Mid way through the year he ranks 3rd in 5A with 630 yards and 6 TDs.
7. Caleb Kim Caleb Kim 5'10" | 185 lbs | RB Sunset | 2022 State OR 5-10 185 Sunset- Kim has helped the Apollos but together two of the best back-to-back seasons in years. His 11 TDs through 7 games, and overall versatility, makes him one of the best backs in Oregon.
8. Lucas Tuski Lucas Tuski 6'0" | 215 lbs | RB Marist | 2022 State OR 6-0 215 Marist- A big physical back who can run. Tuski will go down as one of the best RB’s ever to come out of Marist, averaging a state leading 13 yards per carry and 17 total TDs. Speed is the question mark if we are talking D1 ball.
9. Jae’Sean Pete Jae’Sean Pete 5'10" | 170 lbs | ATH Grant | 2022 State OR 5-10 180 Grant- Pete has had an outstanding year, averaging 150+ yards per game with double digit TDs. He has split time with elite 2023 Donald Stephens Jr, making his numbers even more impressive.
10. Brycen Indell Brycen Indell 6'0" | 210 lbs | LB Willamette | 2022 State OR 6-0 215 Thurston- One of the top dual threat athletes state wide regardless of classification. I had Indell listed as a favorite for Oregon 5A Defensive POY honors, even before he made the transfer from Willamette. On the season he has averaged 9 yards per carry, with multiple TDs each contest.
11. Sayre Williamson Sayre Williamson 6'0" | 170 lbs | RB Mountain View | 2022 State OR 6-0 170 Mt View- Williamson has been impressive all year, averaging 7.5 yards per carry with 17 TDs through 7 weeks, tied for 2nd state wide. He had big shoes to fill with the graduation of Luke Roberts and has done a nice job.
12. Michael Rincon Michael Rincon 5'10" | 180 lbs | RB Jesuit | 2022 State OR 5-10 185 Jesuit- Rincon has split time with two other talented backs in Payton Roth Payton Roth 6'4" | 200 lbs | RB Jesuit | 2023 State OR and Sophomore Lonnie Burt Lonnie Burt 6'1" | 200 lbs | ATH Jesuit | 2024 State OR . He has put together multiple 200+ yard games in the last few seasons and double-digit TDs.
