1. Josiah Molden Josiah Molden 6'0" | 170 lbs | DB West Linn | 2027 State OR 6-0 165 DB/ATH West Linn OFFERS (6) Oregon, Washington, Oregon St, Colorado St, Nevada
One of the top players in the nation, potentially ranking as the #1 CB in America for his class. The offers speak for themselves as you can expect the SEC and many others to come calling shortly. He was a unanimous all TRL 1st team selection, and possibly the first ever freshman to earn 1st team all-state honors.
2. Jack Brauckmiller Jack Brauckmiller 6'6" | 225 lbs | DL Canby | 2027 State OR 6-6 225 OLB/DE/TE Canby
Brauckmiller has Colt Lyerla type talent and the size and speed to be a major division 1 recruit. He earned honorable mention all-conference honors at LB, finishing with 22 total tackles and 4 INTs. You can expect many of the nation’s top programs to be vying for his services as he can play on either side of the ball at the highest level.
3. Josiah Hawkins Josiah Hawkins 5'10" | 160 lbs | ATH Cascade | 2027 State OR 5-10 160 ATH Cascade
Look for Hawkins to be a conference POY favorite and 1st team all-state projected athlete as a sophomore. He earned 1st team DB honors and honorable mention all-conference WR accolades this past season. Watch him on the 7v7 circuit as he could blow up.
4. Kawai Chamberlin Kawai Chamberlin 6'2" | 205 lbs | LB Sheldon | 2027 State OR 6-2 205 OLB Sheldon
Everyone knows that this kid is going be special. He comes incredibly quick and hard off the edge, making 14 total tackles as a freshman. Chamberlin racked up MVP honors at the All Poly and UTR camps last off season. He will likely match that and then some.
5. Peyton Eveland Peyton Eveland 6'8" | 290 lbs | OL Redmond | 2027 State OR 6-7 290 T Redmond
The 14-year-old moves insanely well for a kid still so young with his size. Watch the film and you see an athlete well advanced beyond his years. He played every snap on varsity as a freshman and is the brother of 2x conference lineman of the year Jace Eveland Jace Eveland 6'7" | 300 lbs | OL Redmond | 2025 State OR .
6. Cody Mitchell Cody Mitchell 6'5" | 225 lbs | DL Crescent Valley | 2027 State OR 6-5 225 DE Crescent Valley
The big man has all the potential in the world with his 6-5 frame. He was an honorable mention All Mid-Willamette conference selection at DE as a freshman. Mitchell will be called upon to lead a D which has struggled in recent years, going 4-24 as a team in the last three seasons.
7. Deckard Hale Deckard Hale 6'0" | 200 lbs | LB Grant | 2027 State OR 6-0 200 WLB/RB Grant
I would expect Hale to be the PIL’s player of the year as early as next season. His films speaks for itself, looking like one of the top players in the league as a freshman on the defensive side of the ball. He earned honorable mention all PIL honors.
8. Jordan Rossetta Jordan Rossetta 6'4" | 200 lbs | QB Grants Pass | 2027 State OR 6-3 190 QB Grants Pass
Rossetta played varsity ball as a freshman throwing multiple TD’s. Even with the Cavemen struggling recently, GP has produced some of Oregon’s top athletes over the years. He could be another one.
9. Malachi Garlington Malachi Garlington 6'1" | 155 lbs | WR Central Catholic | 2027 State OR 6-1 155 WR Central Catholic
The 2-sport standout is a super talented hooper so it will be interesting to see how that plays out. Garlington would start as a sophomore for most programs, but the state champs have legit depth. One well known trainer says he has Darrius Clemons type potential.
10. Nate Peau Nate Peau 6'0" | 240 lbs | DL Central Catholic | 2027 State OR 6-0 240 DL Central Catholic
Peau was the most varsity ready athlete for CC as a freshman. He got in the mix for the Rams making a couple tackles. From a projection standpoint a lot will depend on continued growth.
11. Jamison Walsh Jamison Walsh 6'3" | 190 lbs | DL Cascade | 2027 State OR 6-3 190 DE/TE Cascade
The son of former Roseburg/ Oregon St standout Mark Walsh. Jamison will likely end up 6-5 235 and one of the top TE/DE’s in the NW. Playing 4A ball you can go somewhat under the radar but expect him to develop nicely in the coming seasons.
12. Aiden Hibler Aiden Hibler 6'1" | 170 lbs | WR North Eugene | 2027 State OR 6-1 170 QB North Eugene
Hibler has good size and had a breakout varsity season as a freshman, catching 17 passes for 353 total yards and 2 TDs. It will be important for him to get out on the camp circuit and prove himself with the competition being what it is for the Highlanders.
13. Leonardo Correani Leonardo Correani 5'11" | 210 lbs | LB Lincoln | 2027 State OR 5-11 210 LB Lincoln
Correani was the only athlete in Oregon to earn all-conference honors on both sides of the football as a freshman at the 6A level. He had close to 40 tackles on the year, racking up 2nd team honors at LB and on the O line.
14. Pat Vialva Jr. Pat Vialva Jr. 5'11" | 165 lbs | ATH West Linn | 2027 State OR 5-11 165 QB/DB West Linn
West Linn’s starting point guard can also play a little football. He played the QB spot and could project at DB as a lock down corner, depending on what sport he pursues.
15. Ben Greer Ben Greer 6'0" | 190 lbs | LB South Salem | 2027 State OR 6-0 190 LB South Salem
Greer comes from a talented family. Look for him to be one of the top two-way threats in Oregon and a double-digit TD, 100+ tackle guy per year, in the seasons ahead.
16. Pena Moors Pena Moors 6'0" | 220 lbs | LB West Albany | 2027 State OR 6-0 220 LB West Albany
This kid didn’t waste any time making a name for himself, with 27 total tackles and 3 sacks as a freshman at the Varsity level. His projection will be based on continued growth, but he has good size and can move.
17. Ashden Marquis Ashden Marquis 5'10" | 170 lbs | DB Wilsonville | 2027 State OR 5-10 160 CB/ATH Wilsonville
Marquis played some varsity ball as a 9th grader for the 5A state champs. He will project as one of the fastest kids in the state for his class, running a reported 4.6 laser 40 this past season.
18. Alexander Mishkin Alexander Mishkin 6'2" | 255 lbs | OL Central Catholic | 2027 State OR 6-3 245 OL Central Catholic
One of the only kids who played varsity ball as a freshman for the state champs. Mishkin has good size and could be a three-year starter for the Rams on the interior.
19. Gavin Thaut Gavin Thaut 6'1" | 180 lbs | LB West Linn | 2027 State OR 6-1 190 OLB West Linn
Thaut has legit size and causes countless problems for opponents coming off the edge. The Lions depth makes it difficult for some of the young guys to play early, but he has that type of ability.
20. Sean Bour-Nelson Sean Bour-Nelson 5'11" | 140 lbs | ATH Mountainside (Beaverton, OR) | 2027 State OR 5-9 130 ATH Mountainside
The co-freshman of the year at Mountainside went for 12 total TDs and looked the part in the open field. He is the son of former Ducks standout JD Nelson. Expect him to be a factor next year at the Varsity level.
21. Kellen Bowman Kellen Bowman 6'0" | 180 lbs | QB South Salem | 2027 State OR 6-0 165 QB South Salem
Bowman is one of the top baseball prospects in the region and should be able to step in as a sophomore and lead the Saxons at QB.
22. Shane Peters Shane Peters 5'8" | 160 lbs | ATH West Linn | 2027 State OR 5-8 150 ATH West Linn
Not the biggest kid but one of the most talented within the program. Brother of former all state LB Cole Peters. Look for him to play a role at both RB and Safety.
23. Tyson Donnerberg Tyson Donnerberg 5'11" | 145 lbs | WR West Linn | 2027 State OR 5-11 145 WR West Linn
Historically one of the most impressive families in the state, with everyone playing D1 ball. Don’t be surprised to see Tyson add some significant size and make a nice jump up the rankings board, being the top WR among the Lions young guys.
24. Summit Cvitash Summit Cvitash 6'1" | 165 lbs | ATH Lake Oswego | 2027 State OR 6-1 165 DB Lake Oswego
Cvitash could come in and play immediately for the Lakers on D next season. He has good size and plays with notable confidence. He was a Team Lillard MVP DB over the off-season drawing comparisons to Cole Prusia.
25. Kenneth Ritchie Kenneth Ritchie 5'9" | 150 lbs | DB West Linn | 2027 State OR 5-9 145 CB West Linn
The Lions secondary will be one of the best anywhere in the West in the years ahead. Ritchie is a shutdown cover corner who will make it very difficult for receivers to even catch a ball.
