<p>1.[player_tooltip player_id='406756' first='Jake' last='Normoyle'] 6-4 275 West Linn</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>We've talked a lot about Normoyle early this off season. He earned 1<sup>st</sup> team all-conference honors in the brutally tough TRL, showing flashes similar to former West Linn great and Ducks center Alex Forsyth. A projected 5<sup>th</sup> or 6<sup>th</sup> round pick in this years NFL draft. He will be training with one of the nation's top programs in Ford Sports over the off season. You can expect him to hold double digit D1 offers before he is done. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>2.[player_tooltip player_id='285851' first='Jace' last='Eveland'] 6-7 320 Putnam </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>For the 2<sup>nd</sup> year in a row Eveland earned 1<sup>st</sup> team all-league honors and was named the NWOC's lineman of the year. Special accolades for such a young athlete. Look for Eveland to get out on the camp circuit this off season and prove himself against legit competition. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>3.[player_tooltip player_id='406759' first='Zac' last='Stascausky'] 6-5 245 Central Catholic</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Stascausky earned 2<sup>nd</sup> team all Mt Hood honors and has the necessary size and athleticism to blow up with continued progression. CC has been a factory for some of the nation's top lineman over the last decade. He will have an opportunity to put himself in the conversation, with another impressive season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>4.[player_tooltip player_id='285854' first='Suliasi' last='Laulaupeaalu'] 6-4 365 Sherwood</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>You can't argue with the size and potential. This will once again come down to progression and how fluid and mobile he plays moving forward. He broke out early, earning all conference honors as a freshman. We will see if he can back it up the next two seasons. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>5.[player_tooltip player_id='527043' first='Brody' last='Sahlfeld'] 6-4 245 Glencoe </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Head coach Ian Reynoso started for the Ducks upfront so he knows lineman. He speaks highly of Sahlfeld, who had an outstanding sophomore season, earning 2<sup>nd</sup> team all league honors in the Pacific. As of right now he would project as a D1 FCS talent. </p>

<p>1.[player_tooltip player_id='285855' first='Baron' last='Naone'] 6-4 225 West Linn</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Naone will be a 1<sup>st</sup> team all state kid on both sides of the ball in the coming seasons. The D1 genes and overall athleticism help put his potential into perspective. He earned 2<sup>nd</sup> team all TRL honors defensively and honorable mention accolades at TE. The Lions have the potential of being a nationally ranked team in the years ahead, which will also help from a recruitment standpoint. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>2.[player_tooltip player_id='406771' first='Enrike' last='Aguilar'] 6-2 245 North Salem</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the most impressive sophomore's in the state of Oregon. Aguilar had a breakout season, earning 2<sup>nd</sup> team all conference honors. Positionally he may end up as more of an OLB at the next level. Look for him to be a defensive POY candidate within the league the next two seasons. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>3.[player_tooltip player_id='285856' first='Landon' last='Fay'] 6-3 235 McMinnville</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Fay went for over 60 tackles and finished 2<sup>nd</sup> in the conference in tackles for loss, earning all league honors as a sophomore. He primarily played the LB spot but projects as more of a D End at the next level in my opinion. Continued improvement with speed and agility will be the key components to his success. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>4.[player_tooltip player_id='406758' first='Kainoa' last='Hayes'] 6-2 230 Central Catholic</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hayes earned all conference honors on both sides of the football, ranking as one of Oregon's top sophomore defenders. His 38 total tackles and 6.5 tackles for loss speak to his 2<sup>nd</sup> team all Mt Hood accolades. He should get plenty of attention with the Rams listed as one of the best in the West. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>5.[player_tooltip player_id='287053' first='Trey' last='Kennedy Coleman'] 6-2 270 North Medford</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the biggest upsides of any player in the state for his class. Being only 15 years old is noteworthy considering the season he had against older and more experienced competition. His 55 total tackles, 11 tackles for loss, 5 sacks, and 19 QB hurries was one of the top stat lines state wide at the 6A level. He will project as a 1<sup>st</sup> team all conference guy the next two seasons. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>6.[player_tooltip player_id='527045' first='Dominic' last='Macon'] 6-3 285 Nelson</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The sky's the limit for the big man who was instrumental in helping Nelson to a (8-2) season, in only their 2<sup>nd</sup> year of existence. He earned honorable mention all conference honors and will be one of the top lineman in the Mt Hood next year. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>7.[player_tooltip player_id='285881' first='Lusiano' last='Lopez'] 6-0 220 Lake Oswego</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>If we are talking pure talent, Lopez ranks as one of the best in Oregon for his class. His 1<sup>st</sup> team all TRL accolades as a sophomore speaks for itself. Size is the biggest question mark from a projection standpoint as he could end up playing a different position collegiately. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>8.[player_tooltip player_id='511866' first='Luke' last='Bigsby'] 6-3 270 Banks</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Bigsby possesses legit size and was dominant as a sophomore playing small school ball. His 44 total tackles, 20 tackles for loss, and 3.5 sacks speak to his success. On the year he earned 1<sup>st</sup> team all conference and all state honors. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>9.[player_tooltip player_id='511868' first='Lucas' last='Folau'] 6-2 240 Marshfield</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of Oregon's top 4A defenders for 2025. As a sophomore he made 51 total tackles, 15 tackles for loss, and 3.5 sacks. Super impressive numbers for a 6-5 Pirates team who won the 4A state title just a year ago. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>10.<strong>Xavier Orozco</strong> 5-11 220 Silverton</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Orozco had a phenomenal season earning 1<sup>st</sup> team all state and conference player of the year honors. He's undersized for the position and may play elsewhere collegiately, but is deserving of the recognition. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>10.[player_tooltip player_id='285877' first='Ayden' last='Hancox'] 5-10 240 Reynolds </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>From a projection standpoint there are big question marks due to size, but Hancox did well at the varsity level as a freshman. He backed that up this season as one of the state leaders in sacks with 6, earning all conference honors in the process. </p>
