The Oregon 6A all-state team is structured to highlight those individuals who were the most valuable on their individual teams. It is NOT a list with just the top recruits. Instead of honorable mention picks you will see extended 1st & 2nd team selections. Also referenced will be the Offensive & Defensive POY rankings.
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. 5A will be up next. Check it..
OVERALL POY: Jayden Fortier Jayden Fortier 6'5" | 220 lbs | TE Tualatin | 2024 State OR 6-5 220 TE/OLB 24′ Tualatin
OFFENSIVE POY: Cru Newman Cru Newman 6'0" | 185 lbs | QB Central Catholic | 2024 State OR 6-0 185 QB 24′ Central Catholic
DEFENSIVE POY: Hunter Haines Hunter Haines 6'1" | 190 lbs | DB West Linn | 2024 State OR 6-1 190 S 24′ West Linn

OR
of West Linn had one of the best defensive seasons within Oregon ever. He was the best player on the field in the loss to Central Catholic, finishing the season with 60+ tackles, 8 INTs, 9 TDs, and 10 PBU’s. He is your Defensive MVP.
The Central Catholic D was off the charts good all season, highlighted by their 12-7 win over West Linn. Matix Carpenter Matix Carpenter 6'2" | 270 lbs | DL Central Catholic | 2024 State OR and Oregon State Commit Dexter Foster Dexter Foster 6'4" | 210 lbs | LB Central Catholic | 2024 State OR caused havoc everywhere up front, combining to make 102 tackles, with 26 tackles for loss, and 8 sacks thus far on the year.
Jr. DE/TE Baron Naone Baron Naone 6'4" | 225 lbs | TE West Linn | 2025 State OR of West Linn will join Foster at OSU as the #1 recruit in the 2025 class. He was phenomenal all season. South Salem’s Hatimu Letisi Hatimu Letisi 6'0" | 255 lbs | DL South Salem | 2024 State OR was a constant disrupter and a unquestioned 1st team all-state guy.
I think 6-5 DE Will Haverland Will Haverland 6'5" | 220 lbs | DL Sheldon | 2024 State OR will be a standout collegiately, with Oregon commit AJ Pugliano AJ Pugliano 6'4" | 220 lbs | TE North Medford | 2024 State OR able to play on either side of the ball. Last but not least don’t sleep on Enrike Aguilar Enrike Aguilar 6'3" | 240 lbs | DL North Salem | 2025 State OR who was statistically elite for most of the season. For the 2nd year in a row, he was one of the top underclassmen in the state.
We talked on Fortier and Donnerberg both being POY’s. Other LB’s who earned player of the year honors within their own conference include Keaten Fried Keaten Fried 6'1" | 215 lbs | LB Sherwood | 2024 State OR and Lonnie Burt Lonnie Burt 6'1" | 200 lbs | ATH Jesuit | 2024 State OR Jr. As everyone knows Fried teamed with standout Jr. LB Treyson Eddleman Treyson Eddleman 6'1" | 220 lbs | LB Lakeridge | 2025 State OR and two-way 1st team all state athlete Evan Morris Evan Morris 6'3" | 185 lbs | DB Sherwood | 2024 State OR to lead one of the most impressive defensive performances in recent memory.
The state’s top baseball player Ryan Vandenbrink Ryan Vandenbrink 6'2" | 210 lbs | LB West Linn | 2024 State OR was clutch defensively with Tobia Tagliabue Tobia Tagliabue 6'2" | 220 lbs | LB Lake Oswego | 2024 State OR of Lake O having one of the fastest rising stocks of any 2024 athlete.
As a Sophomore Noah Tishendorf Noah Tishendorf 6'3" | 240 lbs | LB Lakeridge | 2026 State OR was in the 6A POY conversation just to put into perspective how talented he is. He is currently ranked one of the top 4 players in Oregon for his class. 6-4 200 pound fellow 2026 Sam Vyhlidal Sam Vyhlidal 6'4" | 200 lbs | ATH Mountainside | 2026 State OR of Mountainside is one of the top overall athletes in Oregon.
Central Catholic CB Timothy Mitchell Jr. Timothy Mitchell Jr. 5'10" | 180 lbs | ATH Central Catholic | 2024 State OR is finishing his career the way he started it, currently ranked 2nd in the state in INTs with 7. He has been elite all year. We could also see AJ Noland AJ Noland 6'2" | 185 lbs | DB Tualatin | 2024 State OR playing on ESPN next season as a freshman for Colorado St. He’s that good if he can physically prepare.
Washington commit Elias Johnson Elias Johnson 6'3" | 170 lbs | DB Jesuit | 2024 State OR put an exclamation point on his senior season during the playoffs with a 3 TD, 4 PBU showing against Lake O in their playoff win.
Josiah Molden Josiah Molden 6'0" | 170 lbs | DB West Linn | 2027 State OR will likely be the 1st ever freshman to unanimously earn 1st team all-state honors. He will be ranked one of the top players in the nation for 2027. To call him “special” would be an understatement.
As referenced offensively, Evan Wusstig Evan Wusstig 6'0" | 175 lbs | ATH West Salem | 2026 State OR is one of the most versatile players in the NW for his class and will likely have multiple D1 offers in the not-so-distant future.
