For the 2nd straight year, the talent at the prospect tour event spoke for itself. With 80% of the individuals in attendance, being all conference athletes, you knew that the MVP’s would be impressive kids. Have a look at the positional and overall MVP’s as we will break down top performers as well this week.
Overall/WR Luke Womack Luke Womack 6'4" | 195 lbs | WR Lakeridge | 2024 State OR 6-4 195 24′ Nelson OR
This man had a day. The All Conference WR/S caught everything thrown his way, going head-to-head with DB MVP Jakai Clardy Jakai Clardy 6'2" | 165 lbs | DB Evergreen | 2025 OR on multiple occasions. Womack had a good junior season but nothing like we saw on Sunday. Maybe the most impressive aspect to his performance was the top talent he was consistently going against.
With top 2025 QB Avirey Durdahl Avirey Durdahl 6'0" | 185 lbs | QB Adrienne Nelson | 2025 State OR distributing the rock for Nelson, the sky’s the limit for Luke. Separate from the fact that he tied for 2nd in the state in INTs at the 6A level last year, his overall athleticism speaks to his game. He was deserving of the recognition.
QB Baird Gilroy Baird Gilroy 6'5" | 215 lbs | QB West Linn | 2025 State OR 6-5 215 25′ West Linn OR
Sunday’s QB group was outstanding with Gilroy edging out 1st team all-conference returner Kasen Covert Kasen Covert 6'0" | 185 lbs | QB Sherwood | 2024 State OR of Sherwood for MVP honors. Gilroy recently made the biggest jump of any athlete in the state on the PRZ rankings board and backed up why at the event.
The defending state champs will be the clear cut #1 to start the year with Baird competing with talented 24′ Nick Sakys Nick Sakys 6'2" | 205 lbs | QB West Linn | 2024 State OR for the job. His deep balls were impressive, but the confidence and demeanor are what stuck out most to me. If you are West Linn’s quarterback, there is a certain stigma you must carry yourself with which Gilroy does.
RB Carson Mullins Carson Mullins 5'10" | 200 lbs | LB Tualatin | 2024 State OR 5-11 190 24′ Tualatin OR
I will be the first to say I didn’t see this coming. Mullins showed elusiveness and power and did not let up one inch from start to finish.
Luke Ash Luke Ash 5'9" | 170 lbs | RB Tualatin | 2023 State OR was one of the state’s best last season for the T-Wolves with Bodan Griffith Bodan Griffith 5'11" | 215 lbs | RB Tualatin | 2023 State OR stepping in and doing a good job as well. With both of them graduating Mullins should be the primary back for one of the state’s top programs.
OL Stephen Del Giudice Stephen Del Giudice 6'5" | 240 lbs | OL West Linn | 2024 State OR 6-5 250 24′ West Linn OR
The 1st team all TRL Tackle was back doing his thing for the 2nd year in a row. Del Giudice is fundamentally elite and thrives on his smarts in the trenches. His skill set is that of a high-level division 1 athlete, but he will need to add some thickness before moving on collegiately.
Swanson of rival Oregon City went hard at the big man and made some plays. That said as Del Giudice was a technician most of the day.
DL Ryder Swanson Ryder Swanson 6'1" | 220 lbs | DL Oregon City | 2024 State OR 6-0 225 24′ Oregon City OR
Swanson was in the overall MVP conversation. Thats how good of a day he had. It’s rare to see an undersized lineman be so powerful and crafty but that was on display for the entire session.
The OC D lineman had a breakout sophomore season and followed that up with an impressive 1st team all TRL Junior year in the state’s toughest conference. Oregon City will have a shot if they all come to play.
LB Jeremiah Anderson 6-3 240 24′ Mount Tahoma WA
Just a big, fast, physical kid who can move. The most impressive aspect to Anderson’s game was his combination of size and agility. His DE body made his performance stand out even more.
Definitely a kid who plays with personality and could be one of Washington’s best backers this coming season.
DB Jakai Clardy Jakai Clardy 6'2" | 165 lbs | DB Evergreen | 2025 OR 6-2 180 25′ Evergreen WA
What will be a big-time division 1 recruit in my opinion. Clardy shied away from no one, searching out the top receivers and bettering himself. You could consider his MVP performance a type of coming out party, with brother Caleb Clardy Caleb Clardy 6'1" | 200 lbs | LB David Douglas | 2023 State OR headed to Idaho St to play in the Big Sky.
The move from David Douglas to Evergreen was smart. He will do well for a connected Coach Christian Swain.
