Who are Oregon’s next D1 Offered Athletes? 2022 & 23′

&nbsp; As of right now there are 19 D1 offered or committed athletes from the 2022 class within Oregon. These are the next few I would project to land an offer, with the season coming to a close. &nbsp; <strong>2022</strong> [player_tooltip player_id="108147" first="Kellen" last="Hale"] 6-5 215 LB/TE Tualatin- The 2x 1st team all-conference LB is incredibly fluid for an athlete with his size. He should be considered a state defensive POY candidate and someone D1AA’s or Mid Majors could play at multiple positions including TE. [player_tooltip player_id="28843" first="Malik" last="Ross"] 6-0 190 ATH Tualatin- Ross is another athlete who impresses with his overall athleticism (basketball). He has been dominant carrying the ball, and maybe the top return man in the state. He’s a legit D1 kid at three different positions, including DB. Expect a handful of schools to make a move shortly. [player_tooltip player_id="28845" first="Royce" last="Fasel"] 6-0 235 FB/LB Glencoe- I think most are aware of Fasel’s dominance, leading the state in rushing during the regular season (1,781 yards) while playing the QB spot, and finishing 2nd in TDs (22). It becomes a position thing with Royce as most universities don’t use a fullback and others question where he would play otherwise. [player_tooltip player_id="28854" first="Jackson" last="Jones"] 6-0 190 QB Tualatin- Jones earned 1st team All TRL honors for the 2nd year in a row and has an unquestioned D1 arm. Size is always mentioned but Jackson is a proven winner who would be a multi-year starter at an FCS school if given the opportunity. [player_tooltip player_id="28864" first="Zac" last="Waible"] 6-2 215 LB Lakeridge- I really like Waible and think he’s somewhat underrated. The TRL defensive player of the year will go down as one of the top tacklers in school and conference history, as he flys to the ball and seems to always be at the right place at the right time. [player_tooltip player_id="204547" first="Pierce" last="Davidson"] 6-7 195 WR Marshfield- Not a lot of people are aware of Davidson playing 4A ball down on the Southern Oregon coast, but his size and overall athleticism speaks for itself.  His numbers were decent through 10 games, as he had 42 receptions for 566 yards (13.5 ypc) and 6 TDs. He could project as a TE or a possession WR at the next level. &nbsp; &nbsp; The rankings will be updated shortly with only four athletes in the 2023 class being offered at the D1 level so far. A few of the individuals listed below have upped their stock significantly in the 2nd half of the season. This was a tough list to rank (#1-10), as it’s close with each from a projection standpoint. I would consider all of the athletes mentioned here division 1 kids. Have a look.. &nbsp; <strong>2023</strong> 1.[player_tooltip player_id="147861" first="Luke" last="Leighton"] 6-5 195 TE/OLB Sheldon- I’m a big advocate of Leighton with his size and overall versatility. He earned 1st team all SWC honors at LB showing off impressive mobility at 6-5. That said as he could be a top TE/WR as he will provide universities with multiple options. 2.[player_tooltip player_id="147240" first="Richie" last="Anderson"] 6-4 220 DE/TE Tualatin- It’s just a matter of time before Anderson lands his first D1 offer, with the level of play yet to be determined. Everything he does is with confidence, having an impressive all conference season at TE as well. 3.[player_tooltip player_id="110180" first="Mark" last="Hamper"] 6-2 200 ATH West Linn- There is very little Hamper didn’t do this year, earning 1st team all-conference accolades on both sides of the football, and being named the PRZ Offensive Underclassmen of the year in Oregon. Hamper is a winner, and reminds me a little bit of former 6A POY Conner Strahm of Sheldon HS, who ended up thriving at Montana. 4.[player_tooltip player_id="110178" first="Jack" last="Wagner"] 6-3 180 QB/S Tualatin- One of the fastest rising stocks of any athlete in the NW. I could see him challenging [player_tooltip player_id="110171" first="Sam" last="Leavitt"] for the state’s top QB ranking, even with his Florida St &amp; Arizona offers. Wagner is the real deal and one of the top DB’s in the region to boot. 5.[player_tooltip player_id="110182" first="Chip" last="Allers"] 6-3 215 OLB Summit- Allers went off as a Junior putting together some of the most impressive film state wide. He earned 1st team all conference honors and will make a nice jump on the rankings board. From a testing standpoint he is in a class by himself out of this group. 6.[player_tooltip player_id="110242" first="Ryan" last="Oliver"] 6-3 195 QB Lakeridge- I have Oliver ranked one of the top players in Oregon for the 2023 class as I think he has some special attributes. He had a good year throwing 17 TD’s/5 INTs and hitting on 62% of his passes. This will be an important off season for a kid who is a year young for the class. 7.[player_tooltip player_id="110179" first="Drew" last="Rodriguez"] 6-2 190 S/WR Sprague- Rodriguez is just a playmaker. He racked up 1st team all conference honors on both sides of the ball, and was the PRZ Underclassmen of the Year on D. This off season and how he does against other top competion nationally, will be important from a recruiting standpoint. He projects as a Safety at the next level. 8.[player_tooltip player_id="110184" first="Campbell" last="Sager"] 6-5 240 DE Westview- The Cats had their best year in some time and Sager was a big reason why. He comes hard off the edge and should dominate Oregon competition next season. Watching how he does against a talented Jesuit O line is telling from a film standpoint. 9.<strong>OIiver Fisher</strong> 6-5 220 TE/DE Sherwood- One of the fastest rising prospects in Oregon. He has size and showed impressive versatility earning 1st team all league accolades defensively, while possessing all of the tools to be a top TE. 10.[player_tooltip player_id="205815" first="Tiger" last="Black"] 6-3 250 DL Roseburg- The reigning SWC player of the year was dominant and has unquestioned ability. Size becomes the only question mark if we are talking division 1 football. We will see how that translates from a recruiting standpoint. &nbsp;
