DEFENSE
10.Brysen Kachel 6-3 235 LB West Albany
I’ve been hollering this kids name for the last three years. Kachel earned all-state honors on both sides of the ball as a freshman, being named the conference player of the year defensively last season. Look for him to add a few FCS offers in the not-so-distant future as West should be one of the better 5A teams in Oregon.
20. Lonnie Burt Lonnie Burt 6'1" | 200 lbs | ATH Jesuit | 2024 State OR Jr. 6-1 210 LB/RB Jesuit
Burt Jr. could be listed offensively here, as the 1st team all-league LB will likely lead the state in rushing yards this coming season as well. He is a freak athlete with size that has gone somewhat under the radar thus far. He comes from a great family with D1 genes.
24. Jace Burton Jace Burton 5'11" | 165 lbs | DB Jesuit | 2024 State OR 5-11 150 CB Jesuit
Speaking of talented families. Jace projects on defense but killed it offensively earning 1st team all-Metro honors on both sides of the ball. Look for Burton to add multiple FCS offers while being a conference and state POY candidate on D.
30. Brayden Welch Brayden Welch 6'5" | 235 lbs | DL Oregon City | 2024 State OR 6-5 250 DE/TE Oregon City
The honorable mention all-conference DE/TE has had an outstanding off season, impressing on the camp circuit. You can’t teach the size and overall versatility as he could very well could project at Tight End. OC could have one of their best seasons in recent memory.
32. Hatimu Letisi Hatimu Letisi 6'0" | 255 lbs | DL South Salem | 2024 State OR 6-0 255 DE South Salem
Everyone talks about Letisi’s size which is justified. That said as the 1st team all-league returner has been absolutely dominant all off season, beating numerous D1 O lineman time and again on the camp circuit. Look for him to get some FCS opportunities.
55. Wyatt Wessel Wyatt Wessel 6'3" | 220 lbs | LB Lebanon | 2024 State OR 6-3 220 LB Lebanon
Wessel is long and can move. He is an appealing recruit with a unique combination of size and speed. Look for the attention paid to Hayden George Hayden George 6'4" | 235 lbs | TE Lebanon | 2024 State OR to indirectly help the 1st team all-conference LB, who could be one of the top RBs in the state as well.
79. Evan Morris Evan Morris 6'3" | 185 lbs | DB Sherwood | 2024 State OR 6-3 175 FS Sherwood
One of the fastest rising recruits in Oregon. Look for Morris to make a big jump when the rankings are updated, as you can’t teach the length and the ground which he covers in the secondary. The sky’s the limit for the 6-3 175-pound safety who will add some legit size before moving on collegiately.
