Recently released was the updated Oregon 2026 Rankings with 125 athletes listed. Referenced below are prospects outside of the top 50 with a stock that is rising quickly. Have a look ..       FULL 2026 LIST HERE: <a href="https://prepredzone.com/oregon/rankings/2026-rankings/">https://prepredzone.com/oregon/rankings/2026-rankings/</a>         #52 [player_tooltip player_id='780468' first='Dylan' last='Hughes'] 6-0 215 RB/LB Summit   We talked about Hughes as an Intermountain Conference POY Candidate next season at RB. He was one of the most impressive athletes on the 7v7 circuit these last few months as part of MVP Elite. He has the potential of making a nice jump up the rankings board, especially if he performs on D.    #55 [player_tooltip player_id='1232749' first='Adam' last='Williams'] 6-3 245 DT/OL Tigard   Another kid who we've spoken on recently. Williams was one of the only sophomore starters in the TRL up front. He can play on either side of the ball, and has thrived working with Alex Linnenkohl, one of the nation's premier line coaches.    #56 [player_tooltip player_id='402419' first='Owen' last='Hagerman'] 6-3 180 QB Tualatin    Hagerman is a talented baseball player, patiently waiting his turn behind one of the nation's fastest rising QB's in [player_tooltip player_id='285857' first='Nolan' last='Keeney']. He has done well as part of Alpha 7V7 and should step in immediately next year and be one of the better quarterbacks in the state for his class.    #58 [player_tooltip player_id='1112475' first='Cole' last='Wilson'] 6-3 235 OLB/DE Banks   It's tough to get recognized playing small town Oregon football, with Wilson breaking out as a sophomore and finishing with 37 tackles, 14.5 tfl's, and 4.5 sacks. He has great size, especially for such a young athlete. He has the potential of being one of the top DE/OLB's in the state if he gets out on the camp circuit and proves himself against top competition.   #62 [player_tooltip player_id='1232760' first='Kai' last='Franco'] 5-10 160 ATH Mountainside   One of the fastest rising skill kids in the state of Oregon. Top coach Alex Brink talked about him on the 7v7 circuit as part of EForce saying, "He's super smooth with a good frame, he just needs to fill out. He can play on either side of the ball with the best of them."   #71 [player_tooltip player_id='914281' first='Koen' last='Campos'] 5-11 190 RB Crescent Valley   Another athlete who has helped himself out with a good off season thus far. As mentioned he had multiple 100+ yard performances this past year. With 5A's leading passer [player_tooltip player_id='511303' first='Rocco' last='McClave'] graduating, Campos will be a key piece for the Raiders out of the backfield, offsetting some of the production which will inevitably be lost in the passing game.   #77 [player_tooltip player_id='1232753' first='Damari' last='Hall'] 6-3 185 WR West Salem   The talented baseball player is an outstanding overall athlete and has an ideal frame at the WR spot. Hall averaged 20+ yards per catch with multiple TDs as a junior. The Titans are rising back to prominence as a program and Hall could thrive with talented QB [player_tooltip player_id='285871' first='Kaden' last='Martirano'] throwing him the ball.    #81 [player_tooltip player_id='1112394' first='Geovoney' last='Burks'] 6-1 195 ATH/S Roosevelt   Burks was one of the top two-way athletes in the PIL, earning all-conference honors on both sides of the football. He's a physical kid with good size and could be a statistical leader at the 6A level.   #82 [player_tooltip player_id='1112467' first='Brayden' last='Miller'] 6-2 175 DB Scappoose   One of the top overall athletes in Oregon at the 4A level. Miller came up big as a sophomore, making 50 tackles, with 4 tackles for loss, and 3 INTs. The talented Safety will likely be one of the top offensive players in the conference. He was an all league selection in basketball as well.   #89 [player_tooltip player_id='1234453' first='Jantz' last='Kahl'] 6-2 245 C Henley   Henley was dominant all year long, going 13-0 and winning a 4A state title, with Kahl earning 2nd team all-state honors. The line was a big reason no one could touch the Hornets with the young lineman being one of the most of the most impressive centers in the NW.   #100 [player_tooltip player_id='1112422' first='Roman' last='Kealoha'] 5-10 180 RB Wilsonville   It can be easy to get overlooked when you have the Oregon Offensive POY on your team in [player_tooltip player_id='511864' first='Mark' last='Wiepert']. That said as Kealoha more than held his own, accounting for 1,039 yards and 11 TDs. Look for him to statistically rank as one of the top 5A players in Oregon in the coming years.
