<p>[player_tooltip player_id='407172' first='Jackson' last='Farris'] 6-2 225 OLB/DE/RB Valley Catholic</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In only his 2<sup>nd</sup> year playing football Farris has impressed, being selected an all-conference kid on both sides of the ball. Head coach Michael Snyder has done an outstanding job and will have two of the top small school Oregon athletes returning in Farris and 6-6 190-pound rising prospect [player_tooltip player_id='383828' first='Noah' last='Holub']. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='766200' first='Treyson' last='Eddleman']</strong> 6-1 215 LB Sherwood</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I missed on Eddleman initially as he will be ranked one of the top LB's in the state for his class. He did not earn all conference honors this past season which was a huge miss. Look for him to make a nice jump onto the rankings board with the film speaking for itself. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='274319' first='Luke' last='Baker'] 5-11 170 QB Clackamas</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Baker made a smart move and transferred back to his home school of Clackamas from Central Catholic. 2x Mt Hood POY [player_tooltip player_id='152354' first='Cru' last='Newman'] is the real deal and Baker would have sat behind him for another year. He is a talented overall athlete and will have a shot to lead what has been a tradition rich Cavs program. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='410655' first='Colin' last='Fratzke'] 6-3 225 DE Lakeridge</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Fratzke could be one of Oregon's breakout players of the year this coming season. He has the potential to start on both sides of the football and could be one of the top DEs in the TRL. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='291819' first='Tyler' last='Newbury'] 6-0- 185 ATH Central Catholic</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the more versatile sophomores in Oregon. Newbury averaged 7.1 yards per carry, with 35 touches and 4 total TDs. Defensively he looked the part as well making 43 total tackles with 3.5 tackles for loss, as part of a loaded Rams team. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='407880' first='Noah' last='Scharer'] 6-0 195 WLB South Salem</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Scharer is a super talented multi sport kid and one of the better baseball players in Oregon. He should rank as one of the top defenders in the Valley for the Saxons, while averaging 5 tackles per game with 3 INTs last year. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='511878' first='D'Marieon' last='Gates'] 5-7 145 ATH Jefferson</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Gates had a phenomenal sophomore season, earning 1<sup>st</sup> team WR accolades and 2<sup>nd</sup> team DB honors in the PIL. Get him the ball in space and he could go for 20 TDs next year, after scoring 10 touchdowns with 2 pick 6 INTs in 2022. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='406769' first='Kane' last='Sullivan'] 6-2 175 QB McMinnville</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Sullivan is a talented overall athlete who earned honorable mention all-conference accolades as a sophomore. He threw for 12 TDs/3 INTs while hitting on 56% of his passes. Just as impressive was his work on the ground and ability to maneuver, as he averaged 6.3 yards per rush on 31 carries. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='407173' first='Austin' last='Simmons'] 6-4 210 OLB/DE West Albany</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Expect Simmons to be one of the top defensive players in the Mid-Willamette Conference next year, opposite POY [player_tooltip player_id='278367' first='Brysen' last='Kachel'].. He has a legit frame with the potential to add some significant size. His athleticism coming off the edge speaks for itself. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='754681' first='Kellen' last='Oliver'] 6-1 160 QB Canby</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Oliver comes from an impressive family and did well as a sophomore at QB with [player_tooltip player_id='149247' first='Gage' last='Millar'] going down. He could be a multi-sport kid in college, being a talented baseball player. Look for Canby to be a top five 5A program in the years ahead. </p>
