UPDATE: Morris earned 1st team all-conference honors on both sides of the ball and projects as one of the top two-way players in the state. He is long and has the frame to put on some substantial size. Expect him to be at least a D2 kid with the ability to play FCS ball.

32. Pierce Walker Pierce Walker 5'10" | 170 lbs | DB North Salem | 2024 State OR 5-10 170 ATH North Salem
UPDATE: One Pac 12 analyst text me this mid-season on Walker, “Random thought: Pierce Walker Pierce Walker 5'10" | 170 lbs | DB North Salem | 2024 State OR is the best player in the state and has D1 talent.” The 1st team all-league DB has some of the best film in Oregon and plays with no fear.
