*No Particular Order
Treyson Eddleman Treyson Eddleman 6'1" | 220 lbs | LB Lakeridge | 2025 State OR 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.
Colin Fratzke Colin Fratzke 6'5" | 260 lbs | DL Lakeridge | 2025 State OR 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.
William Ingle William Ingle 6'0" | 215 lbs | LB Wilsonville | 2025 State OR 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.
MJ Kennybrew MJ Kennybrew 6'1" | 160 lbs | DB West Linn | 2026 State OR 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.
Aidann Popovic Aidann Popovic 6'4" | 350 lbs | DL Rex Putnam | 2024 OR 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.
Izzy Jantes Izzy Jantes 6'1" | 240 lbs | DL Seaside | 2024 OR 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.
