Oregon's Top All State 4A Returners (DEFENSE)

*A majority of the underclassmen referenced below were listed as all state athletes in 2022. Expect to see most of these individuals make a nice jump on the rankings board when updated in a few weeks.       [player_tooltip player_id='209673' first='Aiden' last='Hazen'] LB 24' Marist 1st Team   [player_tooltip player_id='291229' first='Sam' last='Keen'] DL 24' Marist 2nd Team   Warren Haatia LB 24' Scappoose 2nd Team   Antonio Aguilar DL 25' Milwaukie Hon Mention   Nathan Neveau DL 24' Pendleton Hon Mention   Kale Hubert LB 25' Stayton Hon Mention    Logan Whitlock LB 24' Henley Hon Mention   Eddie Freauff DB 24' Crook County Hon Mention   Karsten Sande DB 24' Cascade Hon Mention   Tyson Van Gastel DB 24' Mazama Hon Mention         OTHERS   [player_tooltip player_id='407437' first='Tanner' last='Starbuck'] DB 25' Stayton   [player_tooltip player_id='408638' first='Brody' last='Borrevik'] DE 25' Marist   [player_tooltip player_id='511868' first='Lucas' last='Folau'] DE 25' Marshfield   Bryce May DL 26' Cascade   Dawson Reiling DL 25' Marist          Marist should be tough to beat this coming season with dudes on both sides of the ball. We've already talked on top O lineman [player_tooltip player_id='291229' first='Sam' last='Keen'] who also earned 2nd team all-state honors defensively. Teammate [player_tooltip player_id='209673' first='Aiden' last='Hazen'] will be a 4A defensive POY favorite heading into next season, after being the only underclassmen in Oregon to earn 1st team all-state accolades in 2022. The talented overall athlete made 88 total tackles with 5 tackles for loss last year.   Two current sophomores who will get in the mix and play a crucial role for the Spartans as well are [player_tooltip player_id='408638' first='Brody' last='Borrevik'] and Dawson Reiling. Marist will be one of the few teams at the 4A classification level with a legit line on both sides of the football. The 6-1 225-pound Borrevik is a tear coming off the edge and will project as a 1st team all-state guy next season. The 6-2 220-pound Reiling will play on both sides of the ball.   Warren Haatia was a 2nd team all-state selection for the Indians last year and a big reason for their playoff run and upset of #1 Mazama. His 114 tackles, 17 tackles for loss, and 14 sacks as a junior speaks to his game.   Two teams with multiple all state projected kids returning include Stayton and Cascade. The Eagles out of Stayton have two super talented sophomores coming back in Kale Hubert and [player_tooltip player_id='407437' first='Tanner' last='Starbuck'] at DB. Hubert was an honorable mention all-state selection from his LB spot, making 76 total tackles with 3 tackles for loss. Starbuck is a versatile two-way threat who picked off 4 passes, while making 72 tackles on the year.   Cascade could have one of the top line recruits statewide regardless of classification in current Freshman Bryce May. The 6-3 310-pounder has promising genes and the potential to be the real deal. Teammate Karsten Sande earned all-state honors at DB as a junior.   Two other intriguing athletes with size return after earning all-state honors in the secondary. We've already talked on Tyson Van Gastel (6-3 210) of Mazama, who was one of the only underclassmen in Oregon to earn all state accolades offensively & defensively. Expect 6-4 200-pound athlete Eddie Freauff out of Crook County to make a nice jump up the rankings board as well.   2nd team all-state RB Logan Whitlock is also one of the top LBs in the state, while only being listed at 5-9 175. Last but not least don't sleep on Marshfield sophomore DE [player_tooltip player_id='511868' first='Lucas' last='Folau']. He was one of the top d lineman in Oregon last year, making 51 total tackles, with 15 tackles for loss, 4 sacks, and 17 hurries.
