2024 Three Rivers League POY Candidates- OFFENSE (Ranked #1-15)

Over the next few weeks we will be breaking down each 6A/5A conference and the likely favorites for Offensive & Defensive POY. There is still a lot yet to be determined with plenty of movement to come. Here are the top athletes returning in the TRL.       OFFENSE       1.[player_tooltip player_id='402416' first='Lamarcus' last='Bell'] RB 26' Lake Oswego  OFFERS: Nevada    Bell went for 1,116 yards and 11 TDs with zero fumbles, earning 1st team all TRL honors as a sophomore. He has the potential of doubling his production with [player_tooltip player_id='152359' first='Zavier' last='Russell'] graduating and the Lakers in the mix among the top 6A teams in the state. Lamarcus recently landed his first D1 offer from Nevada and will be the guy if the Lakers are going to compete for a title.    2.[player_tooltip player_id='406774' first='Baird' last='Gilroy'] QB 25' West Linn   The unanimous 1st team all-league QB will have another big year statistically with all of his weapons. Gilroy passed for 3000+ yards and 33 total Td's (28 passing) this past year. The big 6-5 QB and the Lions have something to prove after the loss to CC in last year's semis.    3.[player_tooltip player_id='285857' first='Nolan' last='Keeney'] QB 25' Tualatin OFFERS: Montana St   I have Keeney ranked the #1 QB in the state for his class but they lose a D1 perimeter that will be extremely tough to make up for in [player_tooltip player_id='152339' first='Jayden' last='Fortier']- Arizona St, [player_tooltip player_id='152355' first='AJ' last='Noland']- Colorado St, and [player_tooltip player_id='152338' first='Kenen' last='Elder']- Portland St. If he doesn't get injured last season, he would be your Oregon 6A POY. His 28 TDs and 2,460 yards passing in only 7 games was remarkable.    4.[player_tooltip player_id='285868' first='Danny' last='Wideman'] WR 25' West Linn   The Lions have numerous weapons so repeating his junior year stat line could be tough with 60 receptions for 943 yards and 12 TDs. The unanimous 1st team all TRL WR is a phenomenal overall athlete (baseball) and favorite target of Gilroy.    5.[player_tooltip player_id='284119' first='Ansu' last='Sanoe'] RB 26' Lakeridge OFFERS (13) Oregon St, Oregon, Texas A/M, Washington, Miami   Sanoe could end up your TRL and Oregon 6A POY. That said as he went for 600+ yards and 8 TDs last season which won't be enough if we are talking POY accolades. I would expect him to be a 20+ carry a night back with multiple 200 yard performances this season.   6.[player_tooltip player_id='285855' first='Baron' last='Naone'] TE 25' West Linn OFFERS (12) Washington, Tennessee, Arizona St, Oregon St, Wash St   West Linn TE [player_tooltip player_id='152336' first='Gus' last='Donnerberg'] was last year's TRL POY. That's the type of potential which comes with the position. Naone ranks as the state's #1 recruit and could do something similar if Gilroy targets him a bunch.    7.[player_tooltip player_id='406770' first='Trevin' last='Laird'] WR 25' Tigard   As good as he is on D, expect him to be one of the best in the TRL offensively. The 6-2 200 pounder will be a prime target while playing 2-3 different positions. The Tigers will lean heavy on him.    8.[player_tooltip player_id='312496' first='Hudson' last='Hardy'] RB 25' West Linn   The 6-3 220-pound RB has been hurt and will project as more of an OLB, but if he can stay healthy he can play with anyone in the conference. He only played in 1.5 games before injury and that was enough to see his potential.    9.[player_tooltip player_id='769921' first='Silas' last='Reynolds'] WR 26' West Linn   One of Oregon's projected breakout players of the year. The 6-3 185-pound WR was an all-conference OLB as a sophomore and is also one of the fastest in the state for his class. His length and speed will be a huge advantage for him.    10.[player_tooltip player_id='406768' first='Ben' last='Schneider'] Jr. QB 25' Oregon City   Schneider will be a three year all conference starter, earning 2nd team all TRL honors last season. He is an outstanding overall athlete (basketball) hitting on 58% of his passes for 1700+ yards and 15 TDs/10 INTs last season.    11.[player_tooltip player_id='406767' first='Wyatt' last='Smiley'] WR 25' West Linn   The 6-4 Smiley could end up one of the state leaders in receiving yards. The Lions will air it out with a handful of targets which would even out the numbers. That said as he has been named an honorable mention all-conference WR the last two seasons.    12.[player_tooltip player_id='406755' first='Zyon' last='Floyd'] WR 25' Lakeridge   One of the most exciting athletes in Oregon when in space. Floyd could rival Wideman in that category. He caught 28 passes last year with 671 total yards and a TD. He will likely project on D but be one of the best in the TRL on offense.    13.[player_tooltip player_id='1103527' first='Mitchell' last='Johnson'] RB 25' Oregon City   Johnson had a breakout junior year earning 1st team all TRL honors, while averaging 5.2 yards per carry with 790 total yards and 5 TDs. If OC is going to compete in the brutally tough TRL he will have to have a 1000+ yard season with double digit TDs.    14.[player_tooltip player_id='278532' first='Calvin' last='Evans'] RB 25' Tualatin    The standout defensive athlete and kicker will likely play a key role on O next season with so much talent graduating. His numbers were limited last year with 11 touches and 6 kick returns but that will change.    15.[player_tooltip player_id='902383' first='Carson' last='Schwindt'] WR 25' Lake Oswego   Schwindt was an honorable mention all TRL WR but brings double digit TD potential with his strength and 6-3 frame. Look for the Lakers to offset all of the attention paid to Bell, by going up top to Schwindt.
