Oregon 5A Preseason All State (2025-26) 1st & 2nd Team “D”

We are still 5+ months away from the season getting started, but here we take a quick look at next year's preseason all-state teams on offense & defense. Please note a few of the key components as it relates to the selection process which most are already aware of..    *If you play for a winning program, you are much more likely to be selected as an all-state athlete. It's even more impressive if you are on this list and play for a team or in a league that has struggled.    *This is NOT a recruiting based list. You can have multiple offers and not be a 1st team all-state kid.    *You will see additional 1st & 2nd team all-state selections instead of 3rd team or honorable mention picks.          1ST TEAM D   DL [player_tooltip player_id='1095838' first='Jack' last='Brauckmiller'] 27' Canby    DL [player_tooltip player_id='1403779' first='Charlie' last='Dexter'] 26' Churchill    DL [player_tooltip player_id='1341253' first='Cody' last='Calvert'] 26' Mountain View   DL [player_tooltip player_id='1528941' first='Kellen' last='Elliott'] 26' Summit    LB [player_tooltip player_id='759688' first='Lukas' last='Babbitt'] 26' Churchill    LB [player_tooltip player_id='402410' first='Isaac' last='Reynoso'] 26' Glencoe   LB [player_tooltip player_id='1112474' first='Riddick' last='Molatore'] 26' Wilsonville    LB [player_tooltip player_id='780468' first='Dylan' last='Hughes'] 26' Summit    LB [player_tooltip player_id='1112461' first='Tyson' last='Walker'] 26' West Albany    DB [player_tooltip player_id='1585712' first='Chase' last='Eriksen'] 26' Dallas    DB [player_tooltip player_id='1585710' first='Sutton' last='Kuenzi'] 26' Silverton    DB [player_tooltip player_id='1232740' first='Ty' last='Hattenhauer'] 26' Caldera    DB [player_tooltip player_id='1474331' first='Ben' last='Wiepert'] 27' Wilsonville   DB Trayshawn Wright 26' Churchill         2ND TEAM D   DL [player_tooltip player_id='402392' first='Asante' last='Mims'] 26' Hillsboro    DL [player_tooltip player_id='1110929' first='Hunter' last='Verstegen'] 26' Crater   DL [player_tooltip player_id='1358887' first='Scottland' last='Telesa'] 27' Aloha    DL [player_tooltip player_id='914287' first='Brody' last='Curtis'] 26' Thurston   LB [player_tooltip player_id='1112464' first='Caleb' last='Jones'] 26' Thurston    LB [player_tooltip player_id='1609803' first='Justice' last='Edmiston'] 28' West Albany   LB [player_tooltip player_id='1043374' first='Parker' last='Gibson'] 26' Redmond   LB [player_tooltip player_id='1136115' first='Cruz' last='Gray'] 26' Thurston    LB [player_tooltip player_id='402399' first='Camden' last='Nosack'] 26' Thurston   DB [player_tooltip player_id='1112462' first='Micah' last='Currier'] 26' Aloha    DB [player_tooltip player_id='1560663' first='Nick' last='Miller'] 26' Churchill   DB [player_tooltip player_id='1591872' first='D'Mariyae' last='Ireland'] 27' North Eugene   DB [player_tooltip player_id='769988' first='Taesean' last='Tarusan'] 26' North Eugene   DB [player_tooltip player_id='1560664' first='Alonzo' last='Reyes'] 27' Churchill          DEFENSIVE SUMMARY: 6-6 [player_tooltip player_id='1095838' first='Jack' last='Brauckmiller'] and 6-5 [player_tooltip player_id='1403779' first='Charlie' last='Dexter'] will compete for 6A POY honors if their teams do well. Both will play D1 ball with Brauckmiller projecting as a potential 4*. [player_tooltip player_id='1341253' first='Cody' last='Calvert'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1528941' first='Kellen' last='Elliott'] should represent Central Oregon and the IMC well. The D line is probably the most talented group in the state position wise, with 3 of the 4 individuals referenced here being preseason 1st team all-state selections both ways.    Babbitt returns after earning conference POY and 1st team all-state honors on D. Hopefully he has his cardio in check as he won't come off the field much. Other LB's include [player_tooltip player_id='402410' first='Isaac' last='Reynoso'] of Glencoe who was a 1st team all-conference guy as a junior and [player_tooltip player_id='1112474' first='Riddick' last='Molatore'] who had one of the best stat lines of any player statewide for 2x state champ Wilsonville.    [player_tooltip player_id='780468' first='Dylan' last='Hughes'] could thrive from an accolade standpoint if the Storm show up as a team, with 6-3 200 pound OLB [player_tooltip player_id='1112461' first='Tyson' last='Walker'] of West Albany having one of the fastest rising stocks of any player at the 5A level.   [player_tooltip player_id='1585712' first='Chase' last='Eriksen'] of Dallas and [player_tooltip player_id='1585710' first='Sutton' last='Kuenzi'] of Silverton don't necessarily have big names. Eriksen was a big reason the Dragons almost went undefeated during the regular season, and as most know Kuenzi is part of a super talented family.   Last but not least, two legit safeties with size. Wiepert was one of Oregon's best DB's as a sophomore, with his brother being the 2x Oregon 5A POY and headed to play for the Ducks. [player_tooltip player_id='1232740' first='Ty' last='Hattenhauer'] was a 2nd team all-conference guy as a sophomore and someone with the potential of being the IMC Defensive POY.
