<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1103727' first='Wilson' last='Medina'] 25' RB Sherwood </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Probably the most impressive performance in the NW for week 3. Medina went for 363 yards and 4 TDs, averaging 20.2 yards per carry, in the teams 55-35 loss to Tualatin. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='770006' first='Joe' last='Stimpson'] 26' ATH Jesuit </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>As mentioned Stimpson is one of the fastest rising prospects in Oregon for the 2026 class. He went off in the 38-15 win over Oregon City, totaling 321 all-purpose yards and 2 TDs, while catching 6 passes for 136 receiving yards and 95 rushing. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='754594' first='Jack' last='Foley'] 25' WR Mountain View </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Foley's recruitment has picked back up landing recent offers from Wake Forest and Utah St. He is the most dominant player in the state at the 5A level, catching 7 passes for 217 yards and a TD, in the 42-21 win over Canby. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1474324' first='Dominic' last='Locati'] 25' RB Jesuit/ [player_tooltip player_id='1474328' first='Harper' last='Sage'] 26' QB Jesuit </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Two athletes who you will see make a nice jump on to the PRZ rankings board include Locati and Sage. Locati has looked good all year, rushing for 188 yards and 2 TDs against OC in the 38-15 win. Sage did a good job filling in for the injured [player_tooltip player_id='238435' first='Treynor' last='Cleeland'], hitting on 10/12 passes for 178 yards and 2 touchdowns</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='769993' first='Rasean' last='Jones'] 26' WR Baker </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the state's top recruits still played out of his mind in the 48-19 loss to Vale. Jones had 9 catches for 83 yards, with 2 TDs coming on kick returns of 90 and 55. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='511864' first='Mark' last='Wiepert'] 25' QB / [player_tooltip player_id='285874' first='Nick' last='Crowley'] 25' WR Wilsonville</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>They reigning Oregon 5A POY continues to kill it at his new QB position. On Friday he went 25/37 for 365 yards and 7 TDs, in the 55-34 win over Sunset. Crowley had 2 TDs for the 2<sup>nd</sup> week in a row. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='511861' first='Sawyer' last='Teeney'] 25' QB Silverton/ [player_tooltip player_id='1474336' first='Hudson' last='Waples'] 25' WR Silverton </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The three-year starter Teeney will be one of the 5A POY favorites in Oregon. He hit on 82% of his passes (18/22) for 225 yards and 2 TDs in the tough 44-34 win over West Albany. His teammate Wales had a breakout performance catching 2 passes for 112 yards and a TD. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='406774' first='Baird' last='Gilroy'] 25' QB West Linn/ [player_tooltip player_id='285855' first='Baron' last='Naone'] 25' TE West Linn </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Gilroy has been one of the most consistent players statewide this season. He was instrumental in the comeback win over Sumner, hitting on 25/36 passes for 294 yards and 3 TDs, with 4* TE Naone catching 6 for 60 and 2 scores. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1358896' first='Andrew' last='Guthrie'] 27' QB Summit </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Remember the name. The 6-3 sophomore can play, helping the Storm to a 24-6 win over reigning 4A champion Henley, with 2 TDs. Summit has played one of the tougher non-conference schedules in the state. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='530494' first='Quinton' last='Olson'] 25' DB/ATH Scappoose </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the state's best at the 4A level. Olson has the potential of being a 1<sup>st</sup> or 2<sup>nd</sup> team all-state athlete on both sides of the football. He was clutch on defense, returning an INT for a TD, in the 47-26 win over Estacada. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1322038' first='Kase' last='Schaffeld'] 25' RB Vale </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Not a lot of people know about Schaffeld playing for 3A power Vale. On Friday they dropped the hammer on reigning 4A GOL champion Baker 48-19, as he rushed for 289 yards and 3 TDs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='312496' first='Hudson' last='Hardy'] 25' LB / [player_tooltip player_id='1474326' first='Brett' last='Ronson'] 25' DE / [player_tooltip player_id='285868' first='Danny' last='Wideman'] 25' ATH </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Everyone contributed in the #1 Lions 34-27 comeback win over Sumner, Washington's #2 ranked team. Hardy is back and healthy coming up with multiple tackles and a key fumble recovery. Ronson is a talented baseball kid who closed out the game with a clutch sack. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Ducks baseball commit Wideman is one of the top dual sport athletes on the west coast and continues to thrive, finishing with an INT on D and 9 catches for another 120 yards. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1110957' first='Heath' last='Thompson'] 26' RB Westview </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Thompson returned from injury in a big way, rushing 14 times for 175 yards and 3 TDs in the 38-22 win over Mckay. It was much needed for Westview after getting beat badly by 5A LaSalle last week. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='770005' first='Makana' last='Brown'] 26' QB South Medford </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the state's top defensive players for the 2026 class moved into the QB role and has done well thus far. Brown used his overall athleticism to account for 2 TDs and help South Medford beat South Salem 30-20, while hitting underrated WR [player_tooltip player_id='754600' first='Ajani' last='Ingram'] for an 88-yard touchdown. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='914281' first='Koen' last='Campos'] 26' RB West Salem </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Campos made the move from 5A Crescent Valley to 6A West Salem over the off season. He will be the guy for future hall of fame coach Shawn Stanley out of the backfield the next two years, rushing for 3 TDs in the 38-28 win over McMinnville. He has over 400 rushing yards in the first three weeks. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1112474' first='Riddick' last='Molatore'] 26' LB Wilsonville/ [player_tooltip player_id='1474331' first='Ben' last='Wiepert'] 27' LB Wilsonville </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>As of right now Molitor will be listed as a 5A conference and state defensive POY candidate. He has been off the charts good, making 7 tackles with 2 sacks, and 2 TDs offensively. The younger Wiepert continues to look like one of the top sophomores in Oregon, adding another 11 tackles. </p>
