He makes a nice jump up the rankings board, simply based on the fact that if he pursued football collegiately, he would do well.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1169947' first='Hudson' last='Gasperson'] 6-1 175 WR Jesuit&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gasperson could be one of the top juniors in the Metro League this season. He was recently selected to the Oregon Les Schwab Bowl and should have plenty of opportunities to showcase his skills with the Crusaders graduating a talented class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='914279' first='Joseph' last='Janney'] 6-1 185 QB Henley</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Go watch Janney's film as the kid can play. As a sophomore he helped Henley win the 4A state title finishing 13-0. He had a decent year statistically, hitting on 60% of his passes with 15 total TDs (9 passing, 6 rushing). He has good size and is a complete overall athlete, averaging 7.5 yards per carry.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='513128' first='Sam' last='Ribner'] 6-3 190 QB Central Catholic&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ribner looks the part and put together some nice sophomore film, passing for 14 TDs/2 INTs in 6 games at the JV level. With 3x Mt Hood POY Cru Newman graduating he should get his opportunity.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1234453' first='Jantz' last='Kahl'] 6-2 250 C Henley</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kahl racked up 2nd&nbsp;team all-state honors as a sophomore, helping Henley go undefeated and win the 4A state title. If he continues to progress, he will be a good collegiate center/long snapper somewhere.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1112406' first='Ryder' last='Jackson'] 5-6 150 RB/S Seaside</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jackson has the potential of being the conference POY the next two seasons and a 1st&nbsp;team all-state kid on either side of the ball. He went nuts as a sophomore totaling 1200+ rushing yards and 18 TDs, with 64 tackles and 2 INTs. The kids undersized but legit.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1112354' first='Tre'Marion' last='Crawford'] 5-8 155 ATH Madison (McDaniel)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 1st&nbsp;team all PIL athlete can literally play about five different positions on the field. Crawford was able to rush 100+ times with 3 TDs, averaging 4.3 yards per carry from his QB spot last season.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1291304' first='Jayden' last='Meshkov'] 5-11 185 RB/ATH Mountainside</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Mavericks are loaded so playing time isn't a given. Meshkov looked good in limited time and has impressive film. Look for him to play a bigger role this season after scoring 3 TDs as a sophomore.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1342450' first='Taevon' last='Pankey'] 5-10 160 Slot Westview&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Not a lot of people are aware of Pankey yet. It was a good move making the transfer from 5A Hillsboro, as he will have a chance to be the Metro League breakout POY this season.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1345276' first='Evan' last='Roseborough'] 6-2 175 WR Franklin&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Look for Roseborough to be one of the top WR's in the PIL this season, catching 17 passes for 198 yards and a TD as a sophomore.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
