This is NOT a recruitment-based list although many of the top recruits are listed as all state athletes. Have a look at the pre-season 1st & 2nd team all state picks as of right now, along with the leading candidates for 5A POY honors.
5A Defensive POY Candidates (#1-3)
1.Brysen Kachel 6-3 235 LB 24′ West Albany
The returning conference player of the year is the real deal, currently sitting on the D1 bubble with multiple schools. He was the only athlete in Oregon to earn all-league and all-state honors as a freshman on both sides of the football and hasn’t looked back since.
2. Mark Wiepert Mark Wiepert 6'1" | 200 lbs | LB Wilsonville | 2025 State OR 6-1 190 LB 25′ Wilsonville
The Oregon State baseball commit is just a phenomenal overall athlete. He will be a NWOC POY favorite on offense as well, after putting up a ridiculous stat line as a sophomore. Defensively he made 112 total tackles with 8 tackles for loss, while totaling 1000+ yards offensively and averaging 9.5 yards per rush and 19.2 yards per reception, with 9 TDs.
3. Wyatt Wessel Wyatt Wessel 6'3" | 220 lbs | LB Lebanon | 2024 State OR 6-3 220 LB 24′ Lebanon
The Warriors have a big-time recruit in 3* Hayden George Hayden George 6'4" | 235 lbs | TE Lebanon | 2024 State OR , but don’t sleep on the 6-3 220 pound LB. Wessel looks the part and then some earning 1st team honors as a junior. If Lebanon can win a few playoff games and have a good season, he will be in the player of the year conversation.
