*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 Caden Negra Caden Negra 6'3" | 170 lbs | WR Ashland | 2024 State OR and JoJo Harrower JoJo Harrower 6'5" | 195 lbs | QB Ashland | 2025 State OR 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.
Carson Mullins Carson Mullins 5'10" | 200 lbs | LB Tualatin | 2024 State OR 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.
Peyton Parrish Peyton Parrish 6'4" | 295 lbs | OL Sunset | 2024 OR 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.
Reid Dobash Reid Dobash 6'3" | 275 lbs | OL Tualatin | 2024 State OR 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.
Aiden Kehm Aiden Kehm 6'6" | 290 lbs | OL Lakeridge | 2024 State OR 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.
Colden Carson Colden Carson 6'5" | 300 lbs | OL Ida B Wells | 2024 State OR 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.
Jackson Bell Jackson Bell 6'1" | 170 lbs | QB Sherwood | 2025 State OR 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 Kasen Covert Kasen Covert 6'0" | 185 lbs | QB Sherwood | 2024 State OR 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.
Carson Smiley Carson Smiley 6'1" | 170 lbs | QB West Linn | 2027 State OR 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.
Gavyn Welch Gavyn Welch 6'4" | 265 lbs | OL Oregon City | 2026 State OR 6-3 250 OL 26′ Oregon City
TE/DE Brayden Welch Brayden Welch 6'5" | 235 lbs | DL Oregon City | 2024 State OR 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.
