<p>26.[player_tooltip player_id='402427' first='Tyson' last='Davis'] 6-0 195 RB/LB Central Catholic</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Davis has a stock which continues to rise coming from a talented family. He put together some impressive freshman film and will likely be a contributor for a Rams team that could be one of the best on the west coast. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>27.[player_tooltip player_id='914291' first='MJ' last='Kennybrew'] 6-1 160 DB/ATH West Linn</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Kennybrew has good size and projects as one of the more versatile kids in the state for his class. With the Lions depth he might not play a primarily role as a sophomore but will in the future. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>28.[player_tooltip player_id='914278' first='CD' last='Nuno'] 6-2 180 WR Philomath </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Most aren't aware of Nuno yet playing 4A ball. He has legit size and speed and looked outstanding at the Polynesian Bowl Showcase and BYU camp in June. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>29.[player_tooltip player_id='402396' first='Brennan' last='Mesa'] 6-3 225 TE/DE South Albany</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>South Albany overachieved last season and Mesa will be a big part of the program's future. Look for him to be a factor as a sophomore potentially on both sides of the ball. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>30.[player_tooltip player_id='402391' first='Asa' last='Lundberg'] 6-1 175 DB Grant</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lundberg did well as part of Team Lillard and could be one of the top players in the PIL this season, projecting as a 1<sup>st</sup> team all-conference kid. I would not be surprised to see him make a big jump up the rankings board. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>31.[player_tooltip player_id='769991' first='Yahkyll' last='Noil'] 6-1 215 LB Lakeridge</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Everyone is aware of the talent within the Noil family. Yahkyll got in the mix as a freshman and should play a role for a Pacers team with the potential of being one of 6A best. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>32.[player_tooltip player_id='402410' first='Isaac' last='Reynoso'] 6-1 180 LB Glencoe</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Reynoso is a standout wrestler and another kid who could shoot up this list with continued progression. His upside is incredibly high coming from a football family with D1 genes. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>33.[player_tooltip player_id='402409' first='Hudson' last='Kurland'] 6-3 190 QB Sunset </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Kurland will likely have to wait his turn playing behind 2<sup>nd</sup> team all-Metro QB [player_tooltip player_id='858699' first='Drew' last='Nees']. That being said he has great size and looked the part as a freshman. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>34.[player_tooltip player_id='914293' first='Trenton' last='Hertzog'] 6-1 180 QB Tigard </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Just an outstanding overall athlete. Watch him on the baseball field and you see his overall arsenal of talents. The Tigers have some legit kids coming up with Hertzog potentially being that guy at QB. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>35.[player_tooltip player_id='914284' first='Gavyn' last='Welch'] 6-4 250 OL Oregon City </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Look for Welch to play a key role on the line as a sophomore for a Pio's program with top 10 potential. As most know he comes from a talented family with 6-5 brother [player_tooltip player_id='511314' first='Brayden' last='Welch'] being an all TRL athlete on both sides of the ball. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>36.[player_tooltip player_id='777410' first='Roman' last='Mallard'] 5-11 175 ATH Jesuit </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The son of former Ducks standout Wesly Mallard who spent 7 years in the NFL. Roman has the potential of jumping up this list quick and being a factor for the Crusaders this year. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>37.[player_tooltip player_id='769997' first='Talen' last='Williams'] 5-11 160 ATH South Salem </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Look for Williams to be one of the top players in the Valley. He is the brother of two-way standout [player_tooltip player_id='130391' first='Parker' last='Williams']. Depending on his progression and growth he could get some varsity time this season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>38.[player_tooltip player_id='769989' first='Viggo' last='Anderson'] 5-6 160 RB West Linn</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Anderson showed up at a PRZ event over the off season and looked outstanding. He went down for the year early as a freshman with an injury, after having a short but impressive MVP type season at the JV level. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>39.[player_tooltip player_id='402419' first='Owen' last='Hagerman'] 6-3 165 QB Tualatin </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hagerman is a talented overall athlete (baseball) with size who will be key to the T-Wolves future success. The biggest question mark comes with playing time, as 2025 standout [player_tooltip player_id='285857' first='Nolan' last='Keeney'] has two years left at QB. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>40.[player_tooltip player_id='402392' first='Asante' last='Mims'] 5-11 225 OLB Hillsboro</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Mims was one of the only freshman in the state to play a significant role for his team at the varsity level. He projects as a 1<sup>st</sup> or 2<sup>nd</sup> team all conference DE/OLB for the Spartans this coming season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>41.[player_tooltip player_id='769990' first='Lamar' last='Stewart'] 6-2 240 DL Jefferson </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Stewart garnered 2<sup>nd</sup> team all PIL honors as a freshman. A feat very few 9<sup>th</sup> graders ever accomplish. Jeff was much improved last year but did have some of their top athlete's transfer. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>42.[player_tooltip player_id='777411' first='Owen' last='Vance'] 6-1 190 LB Jesuit</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the top lacrosse athletes in the region can also play some football. Vance has legit size and speed and will be one of the top players in the Metro League and potentially the state. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>43.[player_tooltip player_id='914287' first='Brody' last='Curtis'] 6-3 275 DL/OL Thurston </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Curtis got some varsity time as a freshman for one of the better 5A programs in the state. He still has a long way to go but possesses the size and overall versatility to be one of Oregon's top two-way lineman. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>44.[player_tooltip player_id='914279' first='Joseph' last='Janney'] 6-0 170 QB Henley </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Likely a future 4A Conference & State POY candidate. Janney throws a nice ball and runs as well as any QB in Oregon. Remember the name. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>45.[player_tooltip player_id='914288' first='Carter' last='Paul'] 6-5 255 OL Westview </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>You can't teach the size. Paul is pushing 6-6 and will need to step up from a young age, for a Westview program who had a coaching change along with numerous athlete's transfer.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>46.[player_tooltip player_id='402397' first='Brison' last='Edwards'] 6-1 165 ATH Lebanon </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The three sport athlete projects as one of the top 5A players in Oregon for his class. He has the potential of playing a key role as a sophomore, for a Warriors team that features two of the top ranked players in the state in [player_tooltip player_id='442249' first='Hayden' last='George'] and [player_tooltip player_id='738890' first='Wyatt' last='Wessel']l. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>47.[player_tooltip player_id='759688' first='Lukas' last='Babbitt'] 6-0 200 DB Springfield </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>There is a lot of excitement in Springfield right now for the upcoming season. Babbitt comes from a talented family and will likely start as a sophomore, after accounting for 9 TDs, 2 INTs, and 6 sacks at the JV level last year. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>48.[player_tooltip player_id='769994' first='Caleb' last='Perry'] 5-11 160 ATH Barlow</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The talented multi-sport athlete got varsity time and scored TDs as a freshman last season. The Bruins project as a potential top 10 team and Perry is a big part of the future. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>49.[player_tooltip player_id='402407' first='Dylan' last='Brower'] 5-10 150 QB Clackamas </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Brower will definitely have to put on some size. That being said the kid can play, thriving as part of Team Lillard and doing well in the Clack program. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>50.[player_tooltip player_id='402415' first='Killian' last='Sombe III'] 5-10 195 RB Central Catholic </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It wouldn't surprise me to see Sombe jump twenty spots before the next rankings update. He has the CC folks excited after a successful freshman season at Westview the year prior. </p>
