<p>[player_tooltip player_id='406771' first='Enrike' last='Aguilar'] DE 25' North Salem </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>We've talked a lot about Aguilar as he had an outstanding sophomore season at North, being listed among the top players in the conference. He continues to back that up at each camp he attends. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='402406' first='Donnie' last='Vercher III'] OLB 26' Central Catholic</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>You will hear a lot about Vercher in the years ahead. He runs like a Safety but plays LB and comes from an impressive football family. He could play early for a loaded Rams group, possessing special ability beyond his years. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='130391' first='Parker' last='Williams'] DB 24' South Salem</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Williams has had one of the most impressive years of any athlete in Oregon. He will need to go against the biggest and best athletes and beat them on the camp circuit in the coming months. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='287053' first='Trey' last='Kennedy Coleman'] DT 25' North Medford </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Trey is consistent and the type of athlete you can build a team around. Regardless of the level he ends up at collegiately, he will be one of the best on the roster. I can't say enough good things. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='285856' first='Landon' last='Fay'] DE 25' McMinnville</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It was good to see Fay as the big DE has added some legit size and was one of the top players in attendance. He played out of position the last couple seasons and could thrive coming off the edge for the Grizzlies. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Victory Orikannu</strong> DB 24'Mountainside</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Definitely an athlete who has upped his stock over the off season. His performance on the 7v7 circuit, combined with the PRZ event will have him moving up the rankings. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='278374' first='Blake' last='Hurley'] LB 24' Sunset</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>What will be a three year all Metro kid. Hurley has continued to help his cause on the camp circuit. He will project as a WLB/Strong Safety type, and an athlete who could compete for defensive POY accolades within the conference. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='511791' first='Bo' last='Dickson'] DB 24' West Linn </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Bo was quietly one of the better DB's in the TRL last season. He was part of Team Alpha's success on the 7v7 circuit and did an outstanding job at the PRZ event, winning most 1 on 1's. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Corey Bushaw </strong>LB 26' Skyview WA</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>As good as Skyview will be this coming season, Bushaw has the potential of being an all-conference LB as a sophomore. He is incredibly fluid for a kid still so young and will be one of the best in the GSHL in the years ahead. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Ryan Borchers</strong> DB 24' Mt Spokane WA</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I was impressed with Borchers' size and aggressiveness. He will be a factor for a 3A Mt Spokane team that should once again be in the conference title hunt. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='738891' first='Xavier' last='Orozco'] DL 25' Silverton</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The reigning conference POY did work against a trio of 6-6 lineman, showing why he should be considered one of Oregon's best regardless of classification. It was great to see Orozco in person. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='613489' first='Cameron' last='Nix'] WLB 25' North Medford </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the most successful 25's in the state of Oregon last season has continued to back that up on the camp circuit. The Black Tornado has some special kids who play with passion at all times. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Jon Wright </strong>DL 25' Kennewick WA </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Kennewick program has had success over the years due to kids like Wright. It was good to see him make the trip as he has the potential of being one of the top underclassmen in the conference this coming season. </p>
