Over the next few weeks, we will breakdown the positional groups and what each individual brings to the table. Have a look at the OL..     *Per usual rankings are based on how each individual projects collegiately. Athletes will only be listed on one side of the football.   OL 1.[player_tooltip player_id="205821" first="Kevin" last="Cassidy"] 6-6 280 Mountainside (OFFERS: Portland St) Cassidy has a stock which continues to rise. From a collegiate projection standpoint there are few with a higher ceiling as he is still relatively new to the position. As noted numerous times the genes speak for themselves. 2.[player_tooltip player_id="238432" first="Roice" last="Cleeland"] 6-3 280 Jesuit (OFFERS: Portland St) As most know Roice is the son of 8-year NFL vet Cam Cleeland. He projects as one of the top centers in the West and potentially the nation. He earned 1st team all league and 2nd team all-state honors as a Junior. 3.[player_tooltip player_id="376115" first="Cody" last="White"] 6-7 250 Estacada- White is still raw but the 6-7 frame is appealing. It's a tough call against 4A competition but he did well enough as a junior to earn 1st team all-league and honorable mention all-state honors. It all comes down to continued progression as there is still a lot of work to be done. 4.[player_tooltip player_id="206763" first="Ryan" last="Berger"] 6-5 280 Liberty- One of the fastest rising players in the state. The Co- Offensive lineman of the year in the Pacific Conference had an outstanding junior season, impressing with his overall mobility on D and earning 2nd team all-league accolades there as well. 5.[player_tooltip player_id="205817" first="Sean" last="Khouri"] 6-2 275 Jesuit- Khouri doesn't have prototypical D1 size but he is a mauler and fundamentally as good as any lineman in the state. From a projection standpoint it's a size thing as he's definitely got the talent. 6.[player_tooltip player_id="110244" first="David" last="Fuiava"] 6-2 290 North Medford- The 2x 1st team all SWC O lineman may project more on the defensive side of the ball due to size. Regardless he is one of the top two-way lineman in Oregon and was dominant last year. 7.[player_tooltip player_id="206760" first="Ryan" last="Yakovich"] 6-3 290 Sheldon- Yakovich had an impressive junior season earning 2nd team all-conference honors. He will have multiple opportunities to prove himself against the likes of SWC lineman of the year [player_tooltip player_id="205815" first="Tiger" last="Black"]. The Irish are legit and could make a deep playoff run. 8.[player_tooltip player_id="147246" first="Camden" last="Ferguson"] 6-3 305 Lakeridge- The Pacers have skill guys for days and are a top 5 6A team heading into the season. Ferguson will be a three all conference, 1st team returner, and the key if LHS is going to make a deep playoff run. 9.[player_tooltip player_id="271384" first="Daniel" last="Thomas"] 6-4 275 Roseburg- Not a lot of people know about Thomas with SWC POY [player_tooltip player_id="205815" first="Tiger" last="Black"] garnering a majority of the praise. That said as he has great size and returns after a 2nd team all conference season. 10.[player_tooltip player_id="270081" first="Beau" last="CressAllen"] 6-4 255 Central Catholic- CC returns a host of skill kids after winning the state title, but loses some talent up front with the transfer of [player_tooltip player_id="110189" first="Joe" last="Merlino"] to Union HS in Vancouver and 4* TE [player_tooltip player_id="104685" first="Riley" last="Williams"] who bounced to IMG. CressAllen has legit size and will be called upon to lead after an honorable mention all conference season. 11.[player_tooltip player_id="206772" first="Will" last="Davis"] 6-3 255 Franklin- Davis racked up 2nd team all PIL honors and is fortunate to be coached by Oregon's top O line guy in Alex Linnenkohl. We will see how much he progresses this season. 12.[player_tooltip player_id="110580" first="Jake" last="Hood"] 6-4 270 Oregon City- Another kid who has the potential of being a 1st team all TRL O lineman. He had an outstanding junior season earning honorable mention all-conference honors, while possessing a host of impressive intangibles. 13.[player_tooltip player_id="270088" first="Sylus" last="Wallace"] 6-2 300 Jesuit- Wallace returns after a 1st team all-Metro season, and should receive substantial notoriety as the Crusaders return the top O line in the state, and will be a 6A title contender. 14.[player_tooltip player_id="258434" first="Trent" last="Hodney"] 6-2 290 Sherwood- One of the most impressive linemen in all of Oregon last season, earning co-Pacific Conference O lineman of the year honors as a Junior. If he is going to project to a higher level collegiately it would most likely be at center. 15.[player_tooltip player_id="110214" first="Elijah" last="Markowitz"] 6-2 300 Liberty- Markowitz earned 1st team all-conference honors on the offensive front and is one of the strongest lineman in the state. From a projection standpoint he could end up as a DT at the next level. 16.[player_tooltip player_id="270082" first="Reese" last="Hare"] 6-4 235 Tigard- Hare had a nice junior season earning 2nd team all TRL honors. He has the frame to add some substantial size if he pursues that tackle spot in college. 17.[player_tooltip player_id="270216" first="Jackson" last="Sager"] 6-2 290 Westview- Sager comes from a talented family with his brother listed as one of the state's top d lineman. He doesnt necessarily have prototypical D1 size but he is super talented, earning 2nd team all-Metro honors as a junior. 18.[player_tooltip player_id="287963" first="Tanner" last="Thomas"] 6-2 225 Sheldon- Thomas doesnt have ideal size for an offensive lineman, but he had a phenomenal junior season earning 2nd team all SWC honors. He will be a key component for a potential top 5 Sheldon program.
