Oregon Athletes Jumping up the Rankings Board- OFFENSE

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       Cody Siegner 6-7 215 TE 25' Crane   What could be one of the biggest sleepers on the West Coast. The state champion rodeo athlete and player of the year in hoops can also play a little football. The 1A school doesn't have film readily available but his overall athleticism speaks for itself.   Crosby Lehnerz 6-4 170 WR 24' Ashland   Lehnerz has great size and has recently done well on the camp circuit, garnering offers from some smaller universities. The Grizzlies will play 4A ball this year with teammates [player_tooltip player_id='152353' first='Caden' last='Negra'] and [player_tooltip player_id='285886' first='JoJo' last='Harrower'] projecting as two of the top players in Oregon regardless of classification.   Drew Nees 6-1 190 QB 24' Sunset   The 2nd team all Metro returner will have a big year statistically for an Apollos program not afraid to air it out. Nees looked good at recent camps and will have some eyes on him as a senior.    [player_tooltip player_id='738966' first='Carson' last='Mullins'] 6-0 200 RB 24' Tualatin   As noted Mullins recently MVP'd the PRZ event at RB and is just a tough, physical kid. The T-Wolves have a D1 perimeter. If Mullins can carry the load out of the backfield it will help open up the passing game with most others not being able to match their talent.   [player_tooltip player_id='806999' first='Peyton' last='Parrish'] 6-4 295 OL 24' Sunset   Thes big man was recently selected for the Les Schwab Bowl where he will have an opportunity to go against some of the state's best. He went somewhat under the radar as a junior but will be one of the best lineman in the Metro this coming year.   [player_tooltip player_id='774391' first='Reid' last='Dobash'] 6-3 275 OL 24' Tualatin    Tualatin will compete for a conference and state title if they are able to win the battle up front. Dobash will be key if that is going to happen, as the All TRL Guard has good size and can move.   [player_tooltip player_id='783188' first='Aiden' last='Kehm'] 6-6 300 OL 24' Lakeridge    Kehm will have eyes on him with the size speaking for itself. He recently made the transfer from state champion West Linn to a loaded Pacers program which has the skill kids to compete with anybody.   Kyron Dodds 6-5 250 C 24' Dallas   Dodds will project as a 1st team all-state 5A lineman, with impressive agility for a 6-5 center. He was a big reason the Dragons averaged close to 400 yards a game on the ground.   [player_tooltip player_id='753310' first='Colden' last='Carson'] 6-6 290 OL 24' Wilson   There is still a lot yet to be determined here but you can't teach 6-6 290. Mobility is a question mark and playing in the PIL doesn't help, but Carson looked good at a recent camp, and could be one of the top players in his conference this coming season.   Zach McKedy 6-6 340 OL 24' Scappoose   Definitely a kid to keep an eye on. McKedy is a massive individual and with continued progression could do well collegiately. The Indians should be a 4A title contender this coming season.    [player_tooltip player_id='153870' first='Jackson' last='Bell'] 6-1 170 QB 25' Sherwood   Bell has looked outstanding on the camp circuit and throws one of the better balls in the state.  As referenced, he will play behind top 24' QB [player_tooltip player_id='278398' first='Kasen' last='Covert'] but could be one of the best players in the Pacific as a senior.    Evan Lawson 6-3 200 WR/TE 24' McNary   It's going to be tough for the Celtics with numerous other schools in the Valley rising quickly. That said as Lawson has legit size and if used right could be one of the better players in the league.    Carson Schwindt 6-3 180 WR 25' Oregon City   One of the more intriguing 25s within the state. Schwindt has legit size and the Pioneers have dudes everywhere. He has the potential of being one of the TRL's breakout performers.    [player_tooltip player_id='652600' first='Carson' last='Smiley'] 5-11 160 QB 27' West Linn   Remember the name. The youngster can play, coming from a talented family with brother Wyatt ranking as one of Oregon's top WR's. The Lions 2027 group is ridiculous as well.    [player_tooltip player_id='914284' first='Gavyn' last='Welch'] 6-3 250 OL 26' Oregon City   TE/DE [player_tooltip player_id='511314' first='Brayden' last='Welch'] is one of the fastest rising prospects in the state for the 2024 class. Don't sleep on the younger Welch. If he continues to grow and develop, he could be one of the best in Oregon.
