<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Last year's Oregon 3A POY made the transfer to South and had a good year. He split time at the RB spot, carrying the ball 70 times for 460+ yards during the regular season. He will likely project at Safety where he had 2 INTs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Foley will be an Oregon 5A POY favorite next year, after catching 38 passes for 728 yards and 17 TDs this season. He earned 1<sup>st</sup> team all IMC honors and was a big reason for the Cougars run to the state title game. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>29.[player_tooltip player_id='407439' first='Brody' last='Thomas'] 6-2 205 OLB Sheldon</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The brother of last year's conference POY Brock Thomas, now with the Ducks. Brody had a good year making 40+ tackles with 2 tackles for loss. He projects as one of Oregon's most athletic defensive athletes with the size necessary to do well collegiately. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>30.[player_tooltip player_id='527043' first='Brody' last='Sahlfeld'] 6-4 260 G Glencoe </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Sahlfeld is one of the top two-way lineman in the state, impressing on the defensive side of the ball before getting injured in week 6.

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>31.[player_tooltip player_id='285854' first='Suliasi' last='Laulaupeaalu'] 6-4 335 T Sherwood </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The big man had a great year for the Bowmen up front, earning 1<sup>st</sup> team all-Pacific honors and moving with improved ability. The 3x all conference tackle will get some looks collegiately as you can't teach the size. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>32.[player_tooltip player_id='285881' first='Lusiano' last='Lopez'] 6-2 240 DL Lake Oswego </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lopez is one of the NW's top D lineman, earning 1<sup>st</sup> team all TRL honors the last two seasons. He added some legit size this past year and will be a candidate for Oregon lineman of the year honors in 2024. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>33.[player_tooltip player_id='406758' first='Kainoa' last='Hayes'] 6-2 250 DT Central Catholic </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>34.[player_tooltip player_id='406771' first='Enrike' last='Aguilar'] 6-3 240 DE North Salem</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Definitely one of the most versatile lineman in the state. Aguilar totaled 7 sacks, 15 tackles for loss, and 33 QB pressures. North played subpar competition all year so it will be important for Aguilar to continue and impress against the region's best on the camp circuit. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>35.[player_tooltip player_id='285879' first='Jacob' last='Thayer'] 6-1 215 LB La Salle</p>

<p>36.[player_tooltip player_id='287053' first='Trey' last='Kennedy']-Coleman 6-2 270 DT North Medford </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>For the 2<sup>nd</sup> year in a row Kennedy-Coleman was all up in the mix for the Black Tornado on the defensive front. His 44 total tackles, 18 tackles for loss, 3 sacks, and 19 QB hurries was one of top stat lines among underclassmen in the state. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>37.[player_tooltip player_id='285856' first='Landon' last='Fay'] 6-3 260 DE McMinnville</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Fay played varsity ball as a freshman and earned 1<sup>st</sup> team all-league honors this past season, moving to his natural position on the defensive line where he was much more fluid. His 51 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, and 6 sacks were impressive. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>38.[player_tooltip player_id='285873' first='Kellen' last='Hicks'] 6-1 175 S Mountainside</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hicks was a 1<sup>st</sup> team all-league kid and could jump up this list quick with continued progression. Statistically he was dominant, finishing among the state leaders in INTs with 5 and adding 58 total tackles. Just a very good overall athlete. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>39.[player_tooltip player_id='412220' first='Maliq' last='Smith'] 6-0 170 ATH Tualatin</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Smith recently made the move from Glencoe to Tualatin. He had a breakout sophomore year for the Crimson Tide and followed that up with a 1<sup>st</sup> team all-conference season at WR. He will be a prime target for top QB [player_tooltip player_id='285857' first='Nolan' last='Keeney'] next year while likely projecting on D.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>40.[player_tooltip player_id='904355' first='Rocco' last='Graziano'] 6-2 205 K/WR Sheldon</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the top kickers in the West. Graziano's overall athleticism makes him an appealing recruit, racking up 1<sup>st</sup> team all-league honors at WR. He hit on 8/9 field goals while making 36 of 36 extra points attempts. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>41.[player_tooltip player_id='904423' first='Xander' last='Thompson'] 6-4 310 DL/G Westview '</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Thompson had a good year earning 2<sup>nd</sup> team all-Metro honors from his D line spot. Mobility is a question mark, but he does have legit size and could project as a Guard at the next level. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>42.[player_tooltip player_id='407256' first='Tau' last='Takau'] 6-2 220 OLB/DL Roosevelt </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Takau comes from a talented family and could play at the FCS level or higher with continued progression.

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>43.[player_tooltip player_id='904370' first='Maximilian' last='Kane'] 6-5 210 DE Beaverton</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Kane is long and super talented but still somewhat raw. He has the frame to put on some significant size and could be a good college athlete. He earned 2<sup>nd</sup> team all-Metro honors for a Beavers team that struggled, making the accolades that much more impressive. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>44.[player_tooltip player_id='408638' first='Brody' last='Borrevik'] 6-2 240 DE/OLB Sheldon</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Borrevik was one of the state's best at the 4A level last year, before making the transfer from Marist. The Junior put on some size and earned 2<sup>nd</sup> team all-conference honors for the Irish, finishing as the team's 2<sup>nd</sup> leading tackler behind Tuioti. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>45.[player_tooltip player_id='527045' first='Dominic' last='Macon'] 6-3 290 DT Nelson</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the more talented football/wrestling guys in the state. He earned honorable mention all Mt Hood honors for the 2<sup>nd</sup> year in a row and was a physical presence for the Hawks who went 8-3 and made it to the state quarterfinals. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>46.[player_tooltip player_id='285866' first='Liam' last='Davis'] 6-1 175 QB Lake Oswego</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Expect Davis to have a big senior year. He hit on 63% of his passes with 9 TDs/8 INTs during the regular season for LO. He's better than that stat line and will likely prove so next season.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>47.[player_tooltip player_id='974833' first='Cash' last='Landau'] 6-4 215 WR Franklin</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>48.[player_tooltip player_id='278532' first='Calvin' last='Evans'] 6-1 175 ATH/K Tualatin </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the state's breakout Junior's. Evans led the TRL in tackles with 102, racking up 2<sup>nd</sup> team all-conference honors at LB. He finished the season with one of the Oregon's top stat lines, adding 4 sacks, 16 tackles for loss, and 2 INTs. </p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Brasfield broke out as a freshman and hasn't let up since. This past season he caught 56 balls for 712 yards and 8 TD's, finishing among the 5A state leaders. The Spartans are 5-25 over the last three seasons, making what he has done even more impressive. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>50.[player_tooltip player_id='902383' first='Carson' last='Schwindt'] 6-3 180 WR Lake Oswego</p>
