The PRZ Rankings will be updated in the coming weeks with the athletes referenced below projected to make a nice jump on the board. Some are already listed, others are not. Regardless, have a look at a few individuals you might not know about yet.       *No Particular Order         [player_tooltip player_id='766200' first='Treyson' last='Eddleman'] 6-1 215 LB 25' Sherwood    What will be one of the top ranked defenders in the state for the 2025 class. It's a borderline crime that Eddleman didn't receive all conference accolades as a sophomore but will be a defensive POY candidate as a junior.    [player_tooltip player_id='410655' first='Colin' last='Fratzke'] 6-4 240 DE/TE 25' Lakeridge    Fratzke continues to make a name for himself. He could very well be one of the top TE's in the state, but I like him on D with his size and overall physicality. Expect coach Spencer Phillips to use him on both sides of the ball.    Jose Ruiz 6-0 215 LB 24' Barlow   Look for the Bruins to be a potential top 10 6A team. They have some of the top athletes in the conference on their roster and other key role players like Ruiz who has the potential of being that X factor as a senior.    [player_tooltip player_id='406775' first='William' last='Ingle'] 5-11 215 LB 25' West Linn   As most know he comes from a talented family with brother Earl Ingle being the 2x TRL defensive POY. The Lions have a loaded roster so playing time isn't always easy to come by, but William will do well.    Blake Lucas 6-2 200 LB 24' Oregon City   The honorable mention All Three Rivers League LB has good size and should play a primarily role for a defense that could be one of 6A's best. OC has a real shot this coming season.   Isaiah Mosley 6-3 200 DB/ATH 24' Dallas   The all conference WR also had multiple 100+ yard rushing performances from the QB spot late last season. Overall he's just a super talented athlete with size, who could project defensively.   Eron Harvey 6-2 185 DB 24' Oregon City   Super intriguing overall athlete and one of the better hurdlers in Oregon, recently finishing 2nd in the state in the 300 meter hurdles. The Pio's should be able to use that speed on both sides of the ball.    [player_tooltip player_id='914291' first='MJ' last='Kennybrew'] 6-1 160 DB 26' West Linn   What looks to be one of the more impressive young guys on an absolutely ridiculous Lions roster. Watch his freshman film and you see a kid who could be one of the best in the state for his class on both sides of the ball, while most likely projecting on D.   Lincoln Mason 6-5 235 DE 25' Wilsonville   Mason didn't play much as a sophomore, but he brings legit size to the table and will be playing for the #1 ranked 5A team in Oregon. Look for him to get in the mix up front.    [player_tooltip player_id='929993' first='Aidann' last='Popovic'] 6-5 335 NG 24' Putnam   Another kid who started on both sides of the football and is intriguing with his size. There is still a lot of unknowns and questions specific to mobility but you can't teach the frame.   [player_tooltip player_id='384721' first='Izzy' last='Jantes'] 6-1 230 LB 24' Seaside   One of the better overall athletes in Oregon at the 4A level. Jantes returns as a multi year all conference kid who will project more on D, while also playing on the offensive line.
