Deryk Farmer Deryk Farmer 6'2" | 185 lbs | ATH Cascade Christian | 2026 State OR 6-2 170 ATH Cascade Christian
Just a super talented overall athlete (basketball) with good size. Farmer was a big reason Cascade Christian won another state title, catching 24 passes for 414 yards and 3 TDs offensively, to go with 62 tackles and 8 tackles for loss on D.
Parker Gibson Parker Gibson 6'2" | 205 lbs | LB Redmond | 2026 State OR 6-2 195 LB Redmond
Gibson had a nice sophomore year, making 57 total tackles with 10 tackles for loss, and 3 sacks. He should be considered one of the top defenders returning in the IMC next season and a potential conference POY candidate before he is done.
Zach Coburn Zach Coburn 6'2" | 270 lbs | OL Lakeridge | 2026 State OR 6-2 270 OL Lakeridge
Coburn had an outstanding season earning honorable mention all TRL honors in the state’s toughest conference. If the Pacers can win the battle up front, they have a chance to compete for a title, with one of the top returning perimeters in the NW.
Lukas Babbitt Lukas Babbitt 6'0" | 205 lbs | LB Churchill | 2026 State OR 6-0 200 WLB Springfield
The sophomore had decent numbers, making 15 tackles with 2 INTs on the season. He comes from a talented family with his brother Jackson Babbitt being one of the top players in the conference. We will find out how good Lukas is next year, as the Millers graduate a host of senior talent, and he will be called upon to carry a heavy load.
Parker Sellner Parker Sellner 6'1" | 190 lbs | DB Newberg | 2026 State OR 6-1 190 DB Newberg
The 3-sport athlete earned honorable mention all-conference honors on both sides of the ball at DB & QB. Impressive accolades at such a young age. Sellner has legit size and projects as one of the top players in the Pacific Conference next season.
Caleb Jones Caleb Jones 6'1" | 190 lbs | LB Thurston | 2026 State OR 6-1 190 LB Thurston
Defensively Jones had one of the better seasons of any sophomore in the state, accounting for 45 total tackles and 6 tackles for loss. He is an outstanding overall athlete with legit size. Expect him to be a 1st team all-conference kid the next two seasons.
Damian Elizarraras Damian Elizarraras 5'11" | 160 lbs | DB Century | 2026 State OR 5-11 160 DB Century
The standout baseball player was also one of Oregon’s breakout sophomore’s, sitting among the 6A leaders with 5 INTs, to go with 42 total tackles and 3 tfl’s. The honorable mention all-conference safety will give the 1-8 Jaguars some hope moving forward.
Alexander Esuk Alexander Esuk 6'1" | 250 lbs | DL Sunset | 2026 State OR 6-1 230 DL Sunset
The Apollos have a bunch of talented young guys coming up with Esuk earning all-Metro honors from his D line spot. He does not have prototypical size for the position but will be one of the better lineman in the conference the next two seasons.
Caden McMahon Caden McMahon 5'10" | 180 lbs | DB Sandy | 2026 State OR 5-10 180 DB Sandy
McMahon could make a nice jump up this board with continued progression. The 2nd team all Mt Hood DB is one of the top overall athletes in the league, finishing with 50 tackles and 2 INTs. Look for him to be a big factor offensively the next few years, averaging 8.1 yards per carry with 3 TDs last season.
Brayden Miller Brayden Miller 6'2" | 170 lbs | DB Scappoose | 2026 State OR 6-2 170 DB Scappoose
Miller should be considered one of the top 4A players in Oregon, possessing great size and overall athleticism. He was a standout on the defensive side of the ball as a sophomore making 50 tackles, with 4 tfl’s, and 3 INTs.
Micah Currier Micah Currier 5'10" | 165 lbs | DB Aloha | 2026 State OR 5-10 165 DB Aloha
The Warriors haven’t won a football game in 2 ½ years but Currier has not let that stop him. He was one of the better DB’s in the Metro League as a 10th grader, finishing with 50+ tackles on the year. Much respect for this kid.
Liam Tobin Liam Tobin 6'0" | 180 lbs | LB Lake Oswego | 2026 State OR 6-0 180 WLB Lake Oswego
Not many people know about him yet but they will. Tobin had an impressive sophomore year, earning honorable mention all TRL accolades. The Lakers D should be one of the best in the state next season.
