He went for 290 yards and 5 TDs against the Cats, after averaging 25 yards per carry last week against Aloha.

6'0" | 185 lbs | QB
Adrienne Nelson | 2025
State
OR
QB 25′ Nelson- I would bet Durdahl blows up from a recruiting standpoint this off season. Separate from his freakish abilities, the sophomore is a winner in every sense of the word. He threw for another 3 TDs in the teams 37-34 win over rival Barlow, giving them the inside track on the conference #2 seed.
Brock Thomas Brock Thomas 6'0" | 175 lbs | QB Sheldon | 2023 State OR QB 23′ Sheldon- Thomas accounted for another 6 TDs (2 rushing, 4 passing) in his teams 49-0 win over #8 South Medford. This is his 4th week in a row with at least 4 TD passes. Everyone knows he’s one of the top running QB’s anywhere in the West. He continues to prove what he can do through the air.
Sam Leavitt Sam Leavitt 6'2" | 200 lbs | QB West Linn | 2023 State OR QB 23′ West Linn- Leavitt has played lights out the last month. He threw another 4 TDs with 0 INTs in the Lions 42-30 win over #4 Tualatin. He now has 15 TDs and 3 INTs on the year.
Jayden Fortier Jayden Fortier 6'5" | 220 lbs | TE Tualatin | 2024 State OR TE 24′ Tualatin- The 3* 2024 prospect has one of the fastest rising stocks of any player in the NW, as noted with his recent offers from Arizona St and Colorado St. He was outstanding in Friday night’s loss to West Linn, catching 4 passes for 84 yards and a TD.
Wiley Donnerberg Wiley Donnerberg 6'4" | 200 lbs | ATH West Linn | 2024 State OR WR/S 24′ Gus Donnerberg Gus Donnerberg 6'4" | 220 lbs | TE West Linn | 2024 State OR TE 24′ West Linn- You can expect the Donnerberg’s to haul in multiple D1 offers in the coming months. Wiley caught 3 passes for 94 yards and 2 TDs with a clutch pick in in the endzone late in the 4th. Gus had his best game of the year, catching 5 balls for 82 yards and a TD. He had an INT as well.
Cooper Hiday Cooper Hiday 5'11" | 160 lbs | WR Wilsonville | 2023 State OR WR 23′ Wilsonville- Give credit to Hillsboro who battled and played the state’s #2 5A team Wilsonville tough. Hiday continued to back up why he will be a 1st team all state WR, catching 3 TDs with two coming in the 4th quarter, of the Wildcats 28-14 win.
Cru Newman Cru Newman 6'0" | 185 lbs | QB Central Catholic | 2024 State OR QB 24′ Zhaiel Smith Zhaiel Smith 6'0" | 185 lbs | ATH Central Catholic | 2025 State OR ATH 25′ Central Catholic- I can’t say enough good things about both of these athletes. The returning Mt Hood Conference POY as a sophomore Newman, ran for 4 TDs. Smith caught two more TDs from Newman, giving him 5 in the last two weeks, in the Rams 49-0 win over Gresham.
Trevor O’leary Trevor O’leary 6'0" | 185 lbs | DB Glencoe | 2024 State OR QB 24′ Glencoe- O’Leary has a stock which is rising quickly. The returning all-conference DB from a year ago, helped his team to victory with the late 4th quarter TD, in the Crimson Tide’s 26-23 win over Century. He is currently averaging close to 7 yards per carry and listed among the top 5 rushers in the state. Incredibly impressive as a QB.
Luke Ash Luke Ash 5'9" | 170 lbs | RB Tualatin | 2023 State OR RB 23′ Tualatin- One of Oregon’s most consistent players all season. West Linn has manhandled RB’s all year, including 4* Notre Dame commit Jayden Limar of Lake Stevens. Ash carried 20 times for 130 yards helping the T-Wolves stay balanced. He also led the team with 10 tackles on D.
Zachariah Frazier Zachariah Frazier 6'0" | 225 lbs | RB Clackamas | 2023 State OR RB 23′ Clackamas- It’s been a disappointing year for traditional power Clackamas with losses to Barlow, Nelson, and most recently Sandy. That said as Frazier has done well. On Friday he averaged over 10 yards per carry, rushing 12 times for 115 yards in the teams 24-14 loss to the Pio’s.
Elijah Garcia Elijah Garcia 5'6" | 160 lbs | RB Century | 2023 OR RB 24′ Century- People might not be aware with the Jaguars being an average at best 6A team, but Garcia is a workhorse. On Friday he carried 31 times for 201 yards and a TD, in the 26-23 loss to Glencoe.
Devon Anderson Devon Anderson 6'2" | 170 lbs | ATH North Eugene | 2023 State OR QB 23′ North Eugene- Anderson is the epitome of a dual threat QB and showed that last week, rushing for 4 touchdowns and throwing another 2, in the teams convincing 62-3 win over South Eugene.
Calvin Macy Calvin Macy 6'2" | 200 lbs | LB Lake Oswego | 2023 State OR RB 23′ Lake Oswego- It’s been a up and down year for the Lakers but Calvin and his brother Oliver Macy Oliver Macy 6'4" | 220 lbs | DL Lake Oswego | 2025 State OR are both legit. The D1 LB Calvin Macy Calvin Macy 6'2" | 200 lbs | LB Lake Oswego | 2023 State OR had 2 rushing TDs in LO’s 37-22 win over Oregon City.
Erick Gonzalez Erick Gonzalez 5'11" | 170 lbs | DB North Salem | 2023 State OR ATH 23′ North Salem- One of the most impressive two-way athletes in Oregon this season. Gonzalez has had a phenomenal year, catching another 3 passes for 107 yards in the 18-14 loss to Grants Pass.
Koffi Kouame Koffi Kouame 5'9" | 185 lbs | RB West Linn | 2023 State OR RB 23′ West Linn- Kouame had a big night and helped the Lions maintain some balance, rushing 16 times for 150 yards and a TD. In space he is one of the most dangerous athletes in Oregon.
Sam Stephens Sam Stephens 5'8" | 160 lbs | RB Summit | 2024 State OR RB 24′ Summit- The state’s #1 5A team got a big 2nd half out of Stephens, who scored 3 TDs to close the game, and help the Storm beat a good #3 Bend team 35-21.
Kaden Hale Kaden Hale 6'3" | 200 lbs | ATH Forest Grove | 2024 State OR QB 24′ Forest Grove- One of the most impressive performances of the week. The 6-3 205-pound quarterback had a breakout performance, giving his Vikings a 42-13 win over previously unbeaten 5A #6 Southridge. Hale passed for 3 TDs and rushed for 2 more.
Ben Yundt Ben Yundt 5'8" | 165 lbs | RB Mt View | 2023 State OR RB 23′ Mt View- Yundt is one of the more underrated players in the state in my opinion. The 5-8 back rushed 12 times for 172 yards in the teams 45-6-win over Redmond.
