<p>26.[player_tooltip player_id='1165801' first='Benjamin' last='Greer'] 6-0 205 LB South Salem</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>UPDATE: It was a tough year at South with the Saxons going (2-7) but Greer was a huge bright spot. On the season he went for 70+ tackles, averaging 8 per game, with 4 INTs. The only player on the roster who had a better year was his brother [player_tooltip player_id='1012337' first='Brady' last='Greer'], who was a 1<sup>st</sup> team all-league selection. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>27.[player_tooltip player_id='1569379' first='Treyton' last='Powers'] 5-11 180 RB Grants Pass</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>UPDATE: One of the fastest rising sophomore prospects in the state. Much like Rossetta, Powers had his coming out party this past season. On the year he went for 1,604 all-purpose yards (1229 rushing) and 20 TDs with zero fumbles. He earned 2nd team all-conference honors and will likely be in the POY conversation next year. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>28.[player_tooltip player_id='1359070' first='Drew' last='Miller'] 6-3 200 DE/TE Barlow</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>UPDATE: Even with Barlow finishing 3-6 on the year, Miller earned 1st team all Mt Hood honors at DE. Something incredibly tough to do as a sophomore at the 6A level especially with the team struggling. The Bruins will be able to build around Miller. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>29.[player_tooltip player_id='1119889' first='Pena' last='Moors'] 6-0 220 LB West Albany</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>UPDATE: Moors had one of the best seasons of any freshman athlete at the varsity level. Look for him to come back in a big way next year. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>30.[player_tooltip player_id='936920' first='Jasiah' last='Agnimel'] 6-3 180 WR/S Mountainside</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>UPDATE: I would expect Agnimel to be a primary target for top QB [player_tooltip player_id='1232699' first='Cade' last='Mitchell'], possibly doubling his numbers from this past season. As a sophomore he caught 23 passes for 425 yards and 3 TD's, averaging 18.48 yards per catch. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>31.[player_tooltip player_id='858318' first='Kenneth' last='Ritchie'] 5-9 165 CB/ATH West Linn</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>UPDATE: Ritchie will be one of the best in the TRL the next two seasons. In space there are few who are more dangerous. He will project as a CB/Slot for the returning state champs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>32.[player_tooltip player_id='937240' first='Isaiah' last='Ormond'] 6-1 280 DL Mountainside</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>UPDATE: One of the up-and-coming top two-way threats in the state. Ormond earned 2nd team all-conference honors on the D line where he projects, and 3<sup>rd</sup> team accolades on O. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>33.[player_tooltip player_id='937103' first='Cole' last='Callahan'] 5-11 165 DB/ATH Lake Oswego </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>UPDATE: Some of the best sophomore film out there. Callahan had multiple INTs/TD's for the Lakers who will be a 6A title favorite next year. Look for him to excel as part of Alpha 7v7. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>34.[player_tooltip player_id='1569382' first='Cade' last='Pettersen'] 6-1 195 OLB North Medford</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>UPDATE: One of the fastest rising defensive players in the state. The standout baseball player earned honorable mention all-conference honors as a sophomore, finishing with 67 tackles, 5 sacks, and 11 tackles for loss. Pettersen comes quick and hard off the edge and will be a big name in multiple sports. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>35.[player_tooltip player_id='937183' first='Aris' last='Dimick'] 6-4 185 ATH/QB Tigard</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>UPDATE: Dimick stepped into the starting role as a sophomore and did a good job. It was a tough year at 3-8 but the Tigers play a brutal schedule. He's got legit size and has a chance moving forward. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>36.[player_tooltip player_id='1121756' first='Ashden' last='Marquis'] 5-10 170 CB/ATH West Linn </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>UPDATE: Marquis played some varsity ball at Wilsonville as a freshman before transferring to West Linn. The 6A state champs were deep, so look for the speedster to be a factor in the secondary the next two seasons. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>37.[player_tooltip player_id='797128' first='Cameron' last='Elijah'] 5-11 160 WR Lake Oswego</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>UPDATE: Another super talented kid who should be a legit contributor on both sides of the football for the next few seasons. He got in the mix on D as a sophomore and should have a big year for Team Lillard. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>38.[player_tooltip player_id='1242768' first='George' last='VanSandt'] 6-4 220 TE/WR Central Catholic</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>UPDATE: If we are talking Oregon breakout athletes next season, VanSandt would be one of the first names that comes to mind. The Rams have multiple D1 receiving standouts graduating and/or transferring so he should play a primary role. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>39.[player_tooltip player_id='1358900' first='JT' last='Girod'] 6-0 180 QB Central </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>UPDATE: Girod will be one of the rare 4-year varsity starters at QB. He passed for 1,668 yards and 16 TD's/11 INTs, hitting on 62% of his passes. His overall athleticism is what makes him such an appealing recruit, listed among the top baseball players in the state. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>40.[player_tooltip player_id='1591584' first='Xander' last='Kekaualua'] 5-10 200 RB Westview</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>UPDATE: Kekaualua split carries with 2026 standout [player_tooltip player_id='1110957' first='Heath' last='Thompson'] and did well. On the year he went for 500+ yards, averaging 4.9 yards per rush, with 6 TDs. He racked up 2<sup>nd</sup> team all-league honors using a unique combination of speed and power. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>41.[player_tooltip player_id='1119887' first='Duncan' last='Wellman'] 6-1 180 LB Clackamas</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>UPDATE: Wellman was one of only three sophomores to earn 1st team all Mt Hood honors, putting together an impressive year. He will need to add some size if he wants to project at LB but has plenty of time to do that. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>42.[player_tooltip player_id='936850' first='Hank' last='Whitworth'] 6-1 165 QB Westview</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>UPDATE: Whitworth suffered a torn ACL and only played 5 games. He hit on 52% of his passes, while also averaging 4 yards per carry as a true dual threat. If he can get healthy, he's got a shot to be one of the better QBs in the state. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>43.[player_tooltip player_id='1119886' first='Aidan' last='Hibler'] 6-2 170 WR/S North Eugene</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>UPDATE: Most people outside of Eugene aren't familiar with Hibler yet, but he's got good size and has the potential of being a 1<sup>st</sup> team all-conference kid on both sides of the football the next two years. On the season he averaged 17 yards per reception, catching 23 passes for 390 yards and 3 TDs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>44.[player_tooltip player_id='937297' first='Gracyn' last='Fitch'] 5-10 175 ATH Sandy</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>UPDATE: Super impressive film. Fitch isn't the biggest athlete but knows only one speed and plays with his hair on fire. He racked up 2<sup>nd</sup> team all Mt Hood honors on both sides of the football, putting together one of the top stat lines in the state, while averaging 21.8 yards per catch with 7 TDs. He was also all over the field defensively, making 52 tackles with 9 sacks and 10 tackles for loss. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>45.[player_tooltip player_id='1560665' first='Brevik' last='Hill'] 5-10 155 WR Grants Pass</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>UPDATE: Hill will likely be all over the GP record books before he's done. The 2027 trifecta of him, [player_tooltip player_id='796694' first='Jordan' last='Rossetta'], and [player_tooltip player_id='1569379' first='Treyton' last='Powers'] will be tough to beat. As a sophomore Hill caught 50 balls for 763 yards and 13 TDs, being named a 2<sup>nd</sup> team all conference WR. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>46. [player_tooltip player_id='1358902' first='CJ' last='Scott'] 6-4 190 WR Summit </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>UPDATE: Look for Scott to make a big impact the next two seasons at Summit. He was still somewhat raw as a sophomore, but you can't teach the size and overall athleticism. He has FCS potential. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>47.[player_tooltip player_id='1591745' first='Ryder' last='Carpenter'] 5-11 165 RB Mountain View</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>UPDATE: Carpenter is one of the best baseball players in the NW earning all-state honors as a freshman. He was one of the only sophomores in the region to earn all-state honors in both football & baseball, racking up 2nd team all IMC accoaldes this past season as well. Expect him to be listed among the top RBs in Oregon. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>48.[player_tooltip player_id='937232' first='Kellen' last='Bowman'] 6-0 185 QB South Salem</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>UPDATE: Bowman is an outstanding overall athlete (baseball) and will be a 3-year starter for the Saxons at QB. This last season was tough, but he did relatively well, hitting on 67% of his passes while averaging 275 passing yards per game. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>49.[player_tooltip player_id='1566150' first='Cohen' last='Trump'] 5-10 185 LB/SS Westview </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>UPDATE: Trump made 80+ tackles, with double digit TFL's, and 4 sacks on the year. He has impressive film, earning 2nd team all-Metro honors, and looks to be one of the most physical athletes in the Metro League. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>50.[player_tooltip player_id='1566153' first='Mason' last='Frederickson'] 5-10 165 DB Sandy </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>UPDATE: The Sandy community has to be stoked about the athletes they have returning. Frederickson was one of three sophomores to earn 1st team all Mt Hood honors, finishing with 83 tackles, 8 TFL's, and 2 INTs. The kid can play. </p>
