<p>1.[player_tooltip player_id='286686' first='Zachary' last='Davis'] 6-1 220 Central Catholic</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Davis has film which speaks for itself. His fluidity and ability to maneuver is special. As a sophomore he made 43 total tackles, with 8 tackles for loss, and 3.5 sacks, earning all conference honors on both sides of the football. Expect him to hold a handful of division 1 offers by the start of next season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>2.[player_tooltip player_id='527032' first='Mana' last='Tuioti'] 5-11 210 Sheldon</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I would expect Oregon and many others to offer in the near future. Tuioti had an unreal sophomore season, making 66 total tackles, with 7.5 tackles for loss, and 3 INTs. He brings a lot to the table you can't teach and will be a conference POY favorite in 2023. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>3.[player_tooltip player_id='285849' first='Oliver' last='Macy'] 6-3 200 Lake Oswego</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Macy comes from an impressive family with brother Calvin holding multiple D1 offers from the Big Sky and Ivy League. He will project as a 1<sup>st</sup> team all-league and all state kid the next two seasons. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>4.[player_tooltip player_id='407256' first='Tau' last='Takau'] 6-2 215 Roosevelt</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Coach Ryan Mccants has done an outstanding job with this Roughriders program. Takau is a legit D1 prospect, who will be a PIL defensive POY candidate the next two seasons, after earning 2<sup>nd</sup> team all conference accolades on the defensive front this past year. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>5.[player_tooltip player_id='408638' first='Brody' last='Borrevik'] 6-1 220 Marist</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Borrevik is a big physical kid who earned 1<sup>st</sup> team all league honors on the defensive line. He projects as more of an OLB at the next level. He will be one of the best at the 4A level. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>6.[player_tooltip player_id='511864' first='Mark' last='Wiepert'] 6-0 190 Wilsonville</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Oregon St baseball commit can also play some football. He was one of the top 5A defenders in the state as a sophomore, averaging double digit tackles per game (10.2) with 8 tackles for loss, and 2 sacks on the year. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>7.[player_tooltip player_id='285869' first='Ryan' last='Holmes'] 6-2 210 West Linn</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Most are aware just based on the last name. Ryan comes from a talented family as he will play on both sides of the football, while projecting on defense for a #1 ranked Lions team. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>8.[player_tooltip player_id='407880' first='Noah' last='Scharer'] 6-1 195 South Salem</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Another multi sport standout (baseball) who will be one of the best in the Valley in the years ahead. Scharer started as a sophomore as part of a deep Saxons team who went (8-2) and did not lose a league game. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>9.[player_tooltip player_id='412219' first='Cade' last='Vandiver'] 6-0 190 West Salem</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>As most know the son of former Duck LB Chris VanDiver. Look for Cade to be a big reason why the Titans compete for another conference title, after a down year in 22'. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>10.<strong>[player_tooltip player_id='613489' first='Cameron' last='Nix']</strong> 6-0 190 North Medford </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of Oregon's breakout sophomore's this past season. He may project as more of a strong safety type at the next level, with impressive numbers in 2022 (77 total tackles, 18 tackles for loss, 2 sacks). </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>10.[player_tooltip player_id='285882' first='Miles' last='Ott'] 6-0 190 Tigard</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Ott could be one of the TRL's breakout athletes next season. He should be considered one of the state's best combo athletes for his class, excelling on the baseball field as well. </p>
