The Highlanders have to feel good with two elite freshman leading the program (WR [player_tooltip player_id='1119886' first='Aiden' last='Hibler']).    27.[player_tooltip player_id='1119890' first='Greyson' last='Murff'] 5-11 175 ATH Lincoln   Murff was one of the only freshman statewide to put up legit numbers at the 6A level. His 17 tackles and 4 tackles for loss at OLB were impressive. He could be one of the top RB's coming up through the ranks as well.    28.[player_tooltip player_id='652600' first='Carson' last='Smiley'] 6-1 170 QB West Linn   Most are probably familiar with the name, as Smiley could be the guy leading the Lions after [player_tooltip player_id='406774' first='Baird' last='Gilroy'] graduates. The Lions feature three talented QBs in the class. He is also a solid Safety defensively.    29.[player_tooltip player_id='936935' first='Nick' last='Normington'] 5-8 150 ATH Grant   Normington is one of the fastest and most elusive athletes for 2027. He played at Central Catholic as a freshman but will make the move back to Grant. His youth film is some of the best around.   30.[player_tooltip player_id='937233' first='Sloan' last='Baker'] 5-10 160 DB West Linn   Another kid who has the potential of playing the QB spot for the Lions. He will likely start at Safety and be a defensive factor before that.    31.[player_tooltip player_id='796492' first='Tevita' last='Lata'] 6-0 180 LB North Salem   Lata might end up playing more of a Safety spot collegiately but will project as one of the best LB's in the conference. He played varsity as a freshman and has been dominant versus his peers.    32.[player_tooltip player_id='935311' first='Javien' last='Parker'] 6-2 185 ATH McKay   Parker was a standout at Dallas before making the move to the Salem school. He played varsity ball as a freshman and will be one of the top two-way athletes in the conference.    33.[player_tooltip player_id='887126' first='Landon' last='Fray'] 6-5 315 T Gresham   The size speaks for itself as Fray should play early for a Gophers team that has gone 4-22 over the last three years. Mobility has been the question mark. The camp circuit will be crucial for a kid like this.    34.[player_tooltip player_id='937031' first='Luke' last='Newbury'] 5-11 165 WLB Central Catholic   The brother of 2025 standout Ty Newbury got some playing time as a freshman, which speaks to his game. He was one of four 9th graders who got some PT for the state champs.    35.[player_tooltip player_id='797128' first='Cameron' last='Elijah'] 5-10 150 WR Lake Oswego   Elijah will rank as one of Oregon's top slot receivers for the 2027 class. He was a standout coming up through youth ball before making the move to Lake O from Putnam.    36.[player_tooltip player_id='936920' first='Jasiah' last='Agnimel'] 6-1 165 WR/S Mountainside   The Mavericks have a bunch of young talent and will likely be a consistent top 5 program. Agnimel has great size and can play on either side of the ball. As good as he is at WR, he may end up projecting at Safety.   37.[player_tooltip player_id='937240' first='Isaiah' last='Ormond'] 6-1 270 DL Mountainside   The Co-freshman of the year at Mountainside along with Bour-Nelson. Ormond had a great season with his projection depending upon continued growth. Regardless he will be one of the best in the Metro on the line.    38.[player_tooltip player_id='937338' first='Cash' last='Wilks'] 5-11 170 LB Lake Oswego   Another kid who excelled as part of Team Lillard last season and has been one of the top youth athletes in Oregon. Wilks has the potential of getting in the mix for the Lakers as a sophomore.    39.[player_tooltip player_id='937179' first='Josiah' last='Lambert'] 6-2 180 DE/OLB Central Catholic   Lambert has good size and a ton of potential. He is the nephew of current coach, and former Jesuit/Boise St standout RB Raphiel Lambert. Look for him to likely contribute on both sides of the football.    40.[player_tooltip player_id='937178' first='Armahni' last='Croxford'] 6-0 145 DB Central Catholic   Croxford is an outstanding overall 3-sport athlete, playing mostly in the secondary for the Rams. He has the ability to be a primary WR and could be one of the best DB's in Oregon.    41.[player_tooltip player_id='937241' first='Cole' last='Hachmeister'] 5-7 135 ATH Tualatin   The T-Wolves have a good 2026 class, but the numbers drop off with the current freshman. Hachmeister is a super talented kid and will lead that group.    42.[player_tooltip player_id='937174' first='Houston' last='Lillard'] 5-7 140 ATH Tigard   Definitely a product of his environment, with Lillard being one of the most technically sound athletes in the state for his class. He has the skill set to play early for the Tigers if he can compete physically.    43.[player_tooltip player_id='1119887' first='Duncan' last='Wellman'] 6-0 160 RB Clackamas   Wellman was one of the few freshman at the 6A level to play varsity ball. In limited time he had 9 carries for 51 yards and will be a big part of the Cavs future.    44.[player_tooltip player_id='876300' first='Xavior' last='Keller'] 5-7 140 ATH North Salem   The Vikings have greatly improved as a program going 22-14 over the last three years. Keller is a big part of the future, being one of state's top youth athletes, and catching 7 passes with a TD in the Oregon All State Game.   45.[player_tooltip player_id='937182' first='Arrelious' last='Peterson'] 5-11 160 WR Tigard    Lillard says not to sleep on Peterson. The 2-sport standout has shown flashes of being one of the best in the TRL for his class.
