Complete Top 120 + Watch List <a href="https://prepredzone.com/oregon/rankings/2025-rankings/">https://prepredzone.com/oregon/rankings/2025-rankings/</a>     26.[player_tooltip player_id='406771' first='Enrike' last='Aguilar'] 6-2 240 DE North Salem   UPDATE: His 2nd team all-conference honors last season highlight some of his potential. Aguilar will rank as one of the top defenders in Oregon and could be in the POY conversation this year if the Vikings play well.    27.[player_tooltip player_id='511864' first='Mark' last='Wiepert'] 6-0 190 WLB Wilsonville     UPDATE: Wiepert made a nice jump on the rankings board, even while being a baseball guy first. He is one of the top multi-sport athletes in the NW.    Previous Analysis: The OSU baseball commit is one of the top football players in Oregon for his class and backed that up with an unreal sophomore year on D, making 112 total tackles, with 8 tackles for loss, and 2 sacks. He's good enough where I could see the Beavers asking if he wanted to be a multi-sport kid.    28.[player_tooltip player_id='285854' first='Suliasi' last='Laulaupeaalu'] 6-4 360 OL Sherwood   UPDATE: We will find out shortly how much he has improved and where he is at specific to his agility. He will be a 4 year all conference lineman which is rare.    Previous Analysis: The big man returns on one of the most talented and experienced lines in the state. The only question comes with mobility and how they will use him on D, as he literally counts as two people, helping to offset numbers.    29.[player_tooltip player_id='407439' first='Brody' last='Thomas'] 6-2 215 RB/S Sheldon   UPDATE: Assuming he stays healthy I would expect Brody to have a big junior campaign, especially with the Irish graduating so much talent.    Previous Analysis: Brother Brock Thomas was the conference POY and had an unreal career. Brody is a different type of athlete with the potential to be an even bigger recruit, impressing with his overall size and speed.    30.[player_tooltip player_id='412220' first='Maliq' last='Smith'] 5-11 165 RB/S Glencoe   UPDATE: The Crimson Tide went 2-7 last year and Smith will need to help Glencoe make the playoffs in a very average Pacific Conference. I expect him to have a big year on defense.    Previous Analysis: Smith had a breakout sophomore season going for close to 1000 rushing and receiving yards and double-digit TDs. As good as he was on offense, he may project on D.    31.[player_tooltip player_id='412223' first='Hudson' last='Whipple'] 6-5 215 TE West Salem   UPDATE: This should be a big year for Whipple. Everyone is aware of the talent within the family. West is back healthy, and I would expect him to be a big reason they are once again one of the best in the Valley.    Previous Analysis: Speaking of talented families. Brother Holden Whipple is now playing O line at Oregon after transferring from Northern Arizona. Hudson separates himself with his size and overall athleticism (basketball). Look for him to be featured athlete at West the next two seasons.    32. [player_tooltip player_id='527043' first='Brody' last='Sahlfeld'] 6-4 245 OL Glencoe   UPDATE: Sahlfeld had an outstanding sophomore year, racking up 2nd team all-Pacific honors. Look for him to benefit a great deal from having former Ducks starting O lineman Ian Reynoso as his head coach. If he can put on some additional size and keep that athleticism the sky's the limit.    33. [player_tooltip player_id='285856' first='Landon' last='Fay'] 6-3 250 DE McMinnville   UPDATE: I would expect Fay to be in the Pacific Conference POY conversation on D. He has put on some good size and should finally be playing at his natural D line spot, where he excelled on the camp circuit this off season.    Previous Analysis: Fay went for over 60 tackles and finished 2nd in the conference in tackles for loss (15) with 2 sacks. He earned honorable mention all-conference honors at OLB but will project more on the defensive front.    34.[player_tooltip player_id='285868' first='Danny' last='Wideman'] 5-9 165 ATH West Linn   UPDATE: Expect to see him take multiple kicks/punts back for TDs and play a much more influential role as part of the Lions offense this coming season.    Previous Analysis: Wideman earned 2nd team all TRL honors as a return man this past season and will be a 1st team projected athlete in the years ahead. You will see the three-sport athlete be a featured player every Friday night. Get him in space and he's always a threat to house it.   35.[player_tooltip player_id='287053' first='Trey' last='Kennedy Coleman'] 6-2 275 DL North Medford   UPDATE: Trey had another impressive off season as this should be a big year as it relates to collegiate recognition. Playing with a couple older D1 guys like Pugliano and [player_tooltip player_id='206871' first='Terrell' last='Kim'] will help from a personal assessment standpoint as well.    Previous Analysis: Kennedy-Coleman quietly had one of the best seasons of any sophomore statewide, making 55 total tackles, with 11 tackles for loss, and 5 sacks. He will be a 1st team all-conference projected lineman next season. He's young for the grade and if he continues to grow, he has an unlimited ceiling.    36.[player_tooltip player_id='285881' first='Lusiano' last='Lopez'] 6-0 220 DT Lake Oswego   UPDATE: Expect Lopez to be a favorite for TRL D lineman of the year honors, and project as a 1st team all-state kid, after earning honorable mention all state accolades last year.    Previous Analysis: His 1st team all TRL honors as a sophomore speaks to how talented he is. He's undersized for the position but easily one of the top defenders in Oregon for his class. Lopez will probably end up moving to more of a strong side backer spot at the next level.    37.[player_tooltip player_id='407256' first='Tau' last='Takau'] 6-2 220 SLB Roosevelt   UPDATE: Takau comes from an impressive family with his older brother Aisea being a 1st team all PIL D lineman. Look for Tau to project as more of a Strong side backer at the next level.    38.[player_tooltip player_id='412221' first='Tyler' last='Hart-McNally'] 5-10 170 ATH West Albany    UPDATE: I could see Hart-McNally being a 5A POY candidate as a junior. He could essentially double his stat production from a year ago, when he had 99 touches for 900+ all-purpose yards.    Previous Analysis: Hart-McNally will project as a conference POY candidate and 1st team all-state 5A athlete next season. He will be the primary weapon for the Bulldogs on O, with the graduation of senior RB Marcus Allen and his 15 TDs from last season.    39.[player_tooltip player_id='527045' first='Dominic' last='Macon'] 6-3 295 DL Nelson   UPDATE: Nelson loses a ton of key players on the perimeter but brings back a host of all conference talent and experience on the line. Macon's presence will be needed if they want to compete.    Previous Analysis: Definitely a kid who has impressed over the off season, finishing 7th in the state among heavyweight wrestlers. He will be one of the top interior lineman in Oregon this coming season.    40.[player_tooltip player_id='285869' first='Ryan' last='Holmes'] 6-2 210 OLB West Linn   UPDATE: As noted numerous times Holmes comes from an impressive family with D1 genes. He should play a primary role on both sides of the football and contribute on the offensive front as well.    41.[player_tooltip player_id='511866' first='Luke' last='Bigsby'] 6-3 275 DL Banks    UPDATE: Bigsby upped his stock even while playing 3A football. He has legit size and caused countless problems on the interior for opponents, making 44 total tackles with an impressive 20 tackles for loss. Typically if you are playing small school ball in Oregon you need to get out on the camp circuit and show what you can do. Same applies here.    42.[player_tooltip player_id='286410' first='Drew' last='Baltz'] 6-3 180 WR West Linn   UPDATE: The Lions are loaded at all the skill positions and there are question marks on who will play where. That said, Baltz is one of the more versatile kids in Oregon and should play a key role somewhere.    Previous Analysis: Another kid who projects as an all-conference athlete on both sides of the football in the years ahead. Baltz is a big kid who moves well and looked good playing with Team Lillard.    43. [player_tooltip player_id='408638' first='Brody' last='Borrevik'] 6-2 220 DE/OLB Sheldon   UPDATE: This is a big get for Sheldon with Borrevik transferring from Marist. As referenced the Irish graduate a lot of talent from a team that played for a state title just a year ago.    Previous Analysis: Borrevik earned 1st team all-conference honors this past season and will project as a 1st team all-state guy in the fall. He comes hard off the edge and will be someone to watch on the camp circuit.    44.[player_tooltip player_id='285867' first='Grant' last='Valley'] 6-1 170 WR Jesuit   UPDATE: Valley has the speed to play a high level of collegiate ball if he puts it all together. the Crusaders will need to air it out a little more to show what he can do.    Previous Analysis: In limited time the speedster averaged 38 yards per catch, with 3 receptions and 2 TDs as a sophomore. He should be a primary target for 3-year starter [player_tooltip player_id='278372' first='Jacob' last='Hutchinson'] next season. Valley killed it as part of EForce 7v7 and could thrive opposite [player_tooltip player_id='152334' first='Jace' last='Burton'] next season for the Crusaders.    45.[player_tooltip player_id='754631' first='Kayce' last='Tinner'] 6-4 200 WR Lakeridge   UPDATE: From a projection standpoint this is the type of kid that universities are looking for. He is an outstanding basketball player who is raw from a football perspective. Look for him to play a key role at OLB as well.    Previous Analysis: There is still a lot yet to be determined here, but Tinner is a super talented overall athlete (basketball) with size. Look for him to be a contributor on both sides of the ball for the Pacers.    46.[player_tooltip player_id='285874' first='Nick' last='Crowley'] 5-10 170 WR Wilsonville   UPDATE:  I would expect a massive statistical increase for Crowley in comparison to the last two seasons. He has shown flashes of dominance which should be on display this coming year.    Previous Analysis: Crowley had a breakout freshman season, catching 23 passes for 294 yards and 3 TDs over the last two years. He has the potential of being a 5A stat leader next season with the graduation of Cooper Hiday. The Wildcats will be the #1 ranked 5A team in the state next season and he should thrive in that setting.    47.[player_tooltip player_id='285872' first='Truman' last='Brasfield'] 6-2 165 WR Corvallis   UPDATE: Brasfield comes from a talented family with D1 genes. He has gone somewhat under the radar thus far, playing for a Corvallis team that went 0-9 last season.    Previous Analysis: Brasfield broke out as a freshman and then went for over 1000+ total yards as a sophomore, with 58 receptions, 868 receiving yards, and 6 TDs. He could be one of the most talked about athletes at the 5A level, racking up all conference honors on O, D, and Special Teams in 2022.    48.[player_tooltip player_id='285886' first='JoJo' last='Harrower'] 6-4 190 QB Ashland   UPDATE: Harrower has started since his freshman season, throwing for 2,150 yards and 23 TDs last year, for a Grizzlies program which has struggled. They will drop to the 4A level where I could see Ashland being one of the top programs in the state.   Previous Analysis:The Grizzlies will drop down to the 4A level, where they should do well. If the line gives JoJo some time, he will torch secondaries.   49.[player_tooltip player_id='406768' first='Ben' last='Schneider'] 6-0 180 QB Oregon City   UPDATE: All things considered; Schneider has been one of the most impressive athletes in Oregon this off season. They scored with the addition of new head coach Aaron Skinner, but if OC is going to be a top 10 team Schneider will have to play lights out all year.    Previous Analysis: Schneider brings a lot to the table and probably doesn't get enough credit. He hit on 62% of his passes with 13 TDs/4 INTs as a sophomore, in the state's toughest conference.    50.[player_tooltip player_id='406763' first='Noah' last='Blair'] 6-1 175 QB Thurston   UPDATE: Blair had an outstanding sophomore season, hitting on 72% of his passes with 22 TDs/4 INTs. Look for him to be a conference POY favorite the next two years.
