Please note that this is not an all-conference breakdown, so it will be much more difficult to make this team when incorporating the entire state. Check it..

DEFENSIVE SUMMARY:
The Dallas Dragons return one of the more experienced teams they’ve ever had, finishing in the top 10 the last four seasons. William Walker and Steven Ward Steven Ward 6'0" | 220 lbs | LB Dallas | 2024 State OR are both listed among the 5A stat leaders within the state.
Xavier Orozco Xavier Orozco 6'0" | 220 lbs | DL Silverton | 2024 State OR returns after earning Mid-Willamette Conference Defensive Lineman of the year honors . The Foxes are a legit 5A title contender, currently sitting at 6-0. Senior Sam Keen Sam Keen 6'3" | 290 lbs | OL Springfield | 2024 State OR is probably 5A’s top two-way line threat, projecting on O while using his overall athleticism on D. Isaac Olmeda Isaac Olmeda 6'0" | 200 lbs | LB Redmond | 2024 State OR is one of the best players to come out of Redmond in the last few years.
Two underclassmen you will hear a lot about in the coming years are 2026 standout Asante Mims Asante Mims 5'11" | 215 lbs | LB Hillsboro | 2026 State OR who started as a freshman and has a chance to be one of the top DE/OLB’s to ever come out of Hillsboro HS. Ceville Pasi Ceville Pasi 6'0" | 210 lbs | LB Churchill | 2025 State OR earned 1st team all-league honors as a sophomore and has shown off his overall athleticism running the ball, averaging close to 8 yards per carry with double digit TDs.
Returning Mid-Willamette Conference POY in football and basketball Brysen Kachel Brysen Kachel 6'3" | 225 lbs | LB West Albany | 2024 State OR is a D1 kid at some level and the most slept on athlete in Oregon in my opinion. 3* Hayden George Hayden George 6'4" | 235 lbs | TE Lebanon | 2024 State OR already has multiple D1 offers and has been excelling defensively as well.
Top ranked Wilsonville has a pair of underclass LB standouts in Mark Wiepert Mark Wiepert 6'1" | 200 lbs | LB Wilsonville | 2025 State OR and William Ingle William Ingle 6'0" | 215 lbs | LB Wilsonville | 2025 State OR . We talked on Wiepert who has the potential of being a POY on both sides of the ball. Ingle made the move over from West Linn where he’s had a phenomenal year, being listed in the top five in tackles at the 5A level.
Joel Sanchez Joel Sanchez 6'1" | 185 lbs | LB Mckay | 2024 State OR has been the defensive leader of a McKay team that has overachieved all year being ranked in the top 10. The Canby Cougars also have a solid duo in senior leader Tyler Konold Tyler Konold 6'0" | 200 lbs | ATH Canby | 2024 State OR who is an offensive POY favorite, and freaky 6-5 freshman Jack Brauckmiller Jack Brauckmiller 6'6" | 225 lbs | DL Canby | 2027 State OR , who could be Oregon’s top ranked 2027.
Sam Stephens Sam Stephens 5'8" | 160 lbs | RB Summit | 2024 State OR is one of the state’s top RB’s and overall two-way players. He’s had an outstanding year on D. Junior Owen Thomas of Bend currently leads the state in INTs.
1st team all-conference returner Jackson L Babbitt Jackson L Babbitt 6'1" | 175 lbs | DB Springfield | 2024 State OR is back after an outstanding junior season. He will need to lead if the Millers want to have a chance in the playoffs. Lucas Larson of Wilsonville is a state stat leader in INTs and PBUs and a big reason the Cats have dominated their competition.
Junior FS Daniel Kuenzi of Silverton has played lights out on D coming from a talented family. He is listed among the state leaders in tackles.
