Oregon/Washington's Best Combo Lineup for 2026 (Offense)

The 2026 rankings will be updated shortly, and here we look at the best Offensive and Defensive lineups we could put on the field as of right now, within the Northwest. There is so much yet to be determined when it comes to current freshman, that this list and the rankings will change greatly in the months and years ahead as things play out.        Offensive Analysis:        Oregon has the advantage on Offense, very similar to Washington on D. The QB spot is truly up in the air, but we lean with [player_tooltip player_id='402792' first='Legend' last='Galeai'] who was the starter for a good Lakes team as a freshman. The RBs are led by one of the nation's top athletes for the 2026 class in [player_tooltip player_id='284119' first='Ansu' last='Sanoe']. With continued progression he will be offered by everyone, literally. Across the lake you will see [player_tooltip player_id='402416' first='Lamarcus' last='Bell'] be the guy for a talented & young LO team.    Rainier Beach has a pair of standouts in [player_tooltip player_id='402796' first='Oteko' last='Mwamba'] and [player_tooltip player_id='726156' first='Damari' last='King'] with legit film from their freshman season. Look for both to be heavily recruited, with Mwamba already earning 2nd team all conference honors.   The ATH/WR position is incredibly intriguing with a host of athletes who project as multi offer power 5 guys. As of right now [player_tooltip player_id='726155' first='Tristan' last='Baker'] of Lakes HS is the only one with a D1 offer but that won't last long. [player_tooltip player_id='457009' first='Sam' last='Vyhlidal'] will lead one of the fastest rising programs in Oregon at Mountainside HS, while projecting as a conference and state POY candidate on both sides of the football. West Salem's [player_tooltip player_id='769995' first='Evan' last='Wusstig'] is the brother of PSU commit [player_tooltip player_id='342013' first='Zach' last='Wusstig'], and will be one of the best in Oregon also.   At WR separate from Baker, [player_tooltip player_id='402395' first='Braxton' last='Singleton'] of North Salem will be a major D1 prospect. Look for Pac 12s and others to potentially go on him as early as this summer. Many aren't aware of [player_tooltip player_id='769993' first='Rasean' last='Jones'] playing at 4A Baker, but he earned all-state honors as a freshman and recorded the nation's #1 hurdle time among 8th graders, just to put his speed into perspective. Speaking of speed, look for West Linn's [player_tooltip player_id='769921' first='Silas' last='Reynolds'] to be a major division 1 recruit. He will be a 6A state track champ as well.    The TE spot is undetermined, but [player_tooltip player_id='402396' first='Brennan' last='Mesa'] has been a standout at the TE/DE position coming up through the youth ranks.    On the line look for [player_tooltip player_id='536980' first='Kodi' last='Greene'] to potentially be one of the nation's top ranked 26's. He brings a lot to the table you can't teach, in combination with his size and overall athleticism. [player_tooltip player_id='402412' first='Joe' last='Weiler'] and [player_tooltip player_id='770046' first='Quinn' last='Wicklow'] are both kids with great size, from good programs, that could foreseeably blow up in the coming years. Both could end up at different positions or on the other side of the ball.    [player_tooltip player_id='769923' first='Bryce' last='May'] is still a relatively unknown prospect but has great genes and was coached by one of Oregon's best in Mark Walsh. Last but not least don't sleep on [player_tooltip player_id='928117' first='Jonah' last='Smith'] of WA 3A champ Yelm, who got legit time as a 9th grader, and will rank among the state's best.
