2025 Oregon OL with D1 Potential

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Oregon is not typically recognized for producing many Division 1 football players. In comparison to other states, the state has even fewer linemen. However, there are some talented upcoming seniors in the Pacific Northwest who are breaking the norm and proving that they can play at the highest level. In this article, my goal is to bring attention to these players who have the potential to appear on your television on future Saturdays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["406759"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Zac is the only kid on this list with D1 offers from UNLV and Northern Arizona. Expect the more prominent schools to get it on Zac very soon, as he should impress in the camp circuit. Zac was the LT for the state-champion Rams this past year and is a kid who has the size and mobility to get all of the schools on the West Coast interested. Where Zac excels is his nastiness at the LT position; he wants to put every guy he sees on their back, but the best thing about it is he stays focused when doing that. He will not lose his technique just because he wants to flatback somebody; he will do it with great form. That is encouraging for a young offensive lineman.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["406756"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Jake and Zac are considered by far the best two linemen in Oregon. Some like Jake more, some like Zac more. I will not break down who I like more because that is not what this piece is about, but I am just telling you that it is a 1A and 1B situation here. Jake also plays LT for a loaded West Linn team, who will be the title favorite this year. Jake has great athleticism for his size and shows that he can move well in space while also showing the strength to dominate at the high school level. With another offseason of adding strength, top D1 schools will offer Jake sooner rather than later.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["285851"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Jace will be a D1 offensive lineman; that is something I can guarantee. At 6'7, there is no way this kid ends up somewhere else. This season, Jace and his family moved from Putnam to Redmond High School in Central Oregon. Jace still played at the 5A level he was used to and dominated once again. He dropped some weight from his sophomore year and looked quite agile on film for a 6'7 high schooler. If Jace can retain that athleticism while adding some needed strength, watch out because he could be coming for the number one offensive lineman in the state. He has no offers as of right now but plenty of D1 interest.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["902459"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Gabe is an interesting player because when you look at him and his resume, you would think this kid has multiple D1 offers already. The problem is his team could be better. He plays for 5A Central High School, and they went 2-7 last season. The camp circuit will be necessary for Gabe as college coaches want to see him compete against top-notch talent and prove that he can win consistently. But if we are talking power and mobility-wise, he is up there with the three linemen I have mentioned above. I expect Gabe to play D1 football.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["527043"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Brody is a kid who will need an excellent offseason to play at the FBS level, as schools will be hesitant to offer with his injury this last year. Brody was a great RT for Glencoe and showed some real power and functional athleticism at 6'4. Brody will be one of the favorites for Pacific Conference Lineman of the Year next season, and I am excited to see where he ends up. Adding more muscle and size to his frame could be the difference, as D1 schools might prefer him to Guard.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["285854"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"If you want an intimidating, nasty, powerful presence on your offensive line, this is who you need to get. If you take a minute and watch a few of his opening clips on his highlight tape, you will know what I am talking about. Guard is probably where he will end up if he goes D1, but it is encouraging to see that he excelled at tackle in high school, as he has excellent mobility for his size. This offseason will be significant for him to see where he will end up collegiately. Slimming down his frame would be ideal, but schools should be excited about him and where he is currently. We hope for a productive offseason from him.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-659dd1e0ad616"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Honorable Mentions:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='904423' first='Xander' last='Thompson'] - Westview</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='285858' first='Rowan' last='Krahel'] - Beaverton</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='406760' first='Liam' last='Madigan'] - Central Catholic</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='904424' first='Brady' last='Holland'] - Lincoln</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1104044' first='Miles' last='Rice'] - Sunset</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
