<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1569372' first='Aiden' last='Lewey'] 26' 6-4 240 G Sheldon</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Look for Lewey to be ranked among the top O lineman in the state for his class when the rankings are updated. The 6-4 junior had a great year, earning 1st team South Central Conference honors. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1544468' first='EJ' last='Cozart'] 26' WR 5-8 150 Jefferson </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>We've talked about Cozart multiple times this season. The shifty WR put together some of the best performances in the PIL and will be in the POY conversation next year. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1569378' first='Cameron' last='Thomas'] 27' 5-10 160 DB Sheldon</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>You will see Thomas jump up the rankings board when updated. The baseball standout earned honorable mention all-league honors, finishing with 29 tackles and 2 INTs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1272685' first='Kysen' last='Ramirez'] 26' 5-11 280 G West Salem</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Ramirez is a 2x all conference lineman, garnering 1st team honors at guard this season. Look for him to project as more of a center collegiately. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1569379' first='Treyton' last='Powers'] 27' 5-11 180 RB Grants Pass</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Powers had a phenomenal sophomore year averaging 6 yards per carry, while accounting for 1,089 all-purpose yards and 12 TDs. He was a 2nd team all-league selection. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1345242' first='Jayden' last='Robinson'] 27' ATH 5-10 185 Jefferson </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jeff will have two of the better underclassmen coming back next year with Robinson and [player_tooltip player_id='1544468' first='EJ' last='Cozart']. Robinson was a 1st team all-league selection and played lights out as a sophomore going for 869 rushing/receiving yards and 10 TDs in 7 games. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1569381' first='Levi' last='Klostreich'] 27' TE 6-1 200 Sherwood </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Bowmen will graduate some legit talent but have two 1st team all-league athletes returning in Klostreich and [player_tooltip player_id='1569377' first='Walter' last='Dahme']. It's extremely rare for a sophomore to earn 1st team honors at the 6A level on both sides of the ball which he did. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1569373' first='Jakai' last='Phillips'] 26' 5-10 170 RB North Salem</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It was a tough year for North at 1-8 making what Phillips did out of the backfield that much more impressive. The 5-10 junior was a 2nd team all-league selection and has a bright future. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1569375' first='Talen' last='Gorretta'] 26' LB 6-1 190 Sherwood </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Expect to hear a lot about Gorretta moving forward. The junior standout was a 1st team all-league pick and comes with legitimate size and speed. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1110998' first='Miles' last='Green'] 26' LB 5-11 210 Roosevelt </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Green had a breakout sophomore season and followed that up nicely as a junior, earning 1st team all PIL accolades. He is a physical presence and will be a PIL defensive POY favorite next season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1569382' first='Cade' last='Pettersen'] 27' 6-1 195 LB North Medford</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Pettersen has the potential of being listed among the top LBs in the state for his class. The 6-1 195-pound sophomore was impressive all season, being named an honorable mention all-league defender. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1569376' first='Mekhi' last='Perry'] 26' RB 5-8 150 Liberty </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A lot of the Liberty kids have gone under the radar, including Perry. The 5-8 scat back had a super impressive junior year being named a 1<sup>st</sup> team all-conference RB. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1569377' first='Walter' last='Dahme'] 26' C 6-0 230 Sherwood </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Dahme was an undersized center and 1<sup>st</sup> team all-conference selection on defense as well. Sherwood will look for him to lead next season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1569401' first='Ethan' last='Hein'] 26' 6-0 170 WR/CB Newberg</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hein definitely looks the part, playing as well as anybody on their roster all season. He was a 1<sup>st</sup> team all-conference kid on both sides of the football, helping the Tigers win 6 of their last 8 games. </p>
