Oregon vs Washington (2027) Top Lineups & Recruits

Here we break down the NW's top athletes and which state would represent in a mock competition between Washington and Oregon.    Washington has the advantage with 2x the population, but Oregon has done a good job over the last few years with its HS teams (West Linn, Central Catholic) beating their NW rivals. Have a look at the 2027 class and how they compare.            OREGON DEFENSE   DL [player_tooltip player_id='937281' first='Tripp' last='Johansen'] 27' Willamette OFFERS (1) Idaho    DL [player_tooltip player_id='936855' first='Nate' last='Peau'] 27' Central Catholic   DL [player_tooltip player_id='937240' first='Isaiah' last='Ormond'] 27' Mountainside    DL [player_tooltip player_id='1246545' first='Josh' last='Christensen'] 27' Lake Oswego    DL [player_tooltip player_id='1358887' first='Scottland' last='Telesa'] 27' Aloha    LB [player_tooltip player_id='1095838' first='Jack' last='Brauckmiller'] 27' Canby OFFERS (1) UNLV    LB [player_tooltip player_id='791149' first='Kawai' last='Chamberlin'] 27' Willamette OFFERS (2) Wash St, Sac St   LB [player_tooltip player_id='936846' first='Leonardo' last='Correani'] 27' Lincoln    LB [player_tooltip player_id='709506' first='Deckard' last='Hale'] 27' Grant    LB [player_tooltip player_id='1165801' first='Benjamin' last='Greer'] 27' South Salem    LB [player_tooltip player_id='1359070' first='Drew' last='Miller'] 27' Barlow    LB [player_tooltip player_id='1119887' first='Duncan' last='Wellman'] 27' Clackamas    DB [player_tooltip player_id='632957' first='Josiah' last='Molden'] 27' West Linn OFFERS (13) Oregon, Notre Dame, Washington, USC, Arizona St   DB [player_tooltip player_id='1242623' first='Cavan' last='Rogers'] 27' Oregon City   DB [player_tooltip player_id='935357' first='Josiah' last='Hawkins'] 27' Cascade    DB [player_tooltip player_id='937113' first='Shane' last='Peters'] 27' West Linn   DB [player_tooltip player_id='1474331' first='Ben' last='Wiepert'] 27' Wilsonville   DB [player_tooltip player_id='1121744' first='Pat' last='Vialva Jr.'] 27' Tualatin    DB [player_tooltip player_id='858318' first='Kenneth' last='Ritchie'] 27' West Linn    DB [player_tooltip player_id='855093' first='Summit' last='Cvitash'] 27' Lake Oswego           WASHINGTON DEFENSE   DL [player_tooltip player_id='1599603' first='Tevita' last='Nonu'] 27' O'Dea OFFERS (9) Notre Dame, Washington, Arizona, Cal, Oregon St   DL [player_tooltip player_id='1188123' first='Ty' last='Tautolo'] 27' Lake Stevens OFFERS (5) Washington, Notre Dame, Cal, UNLV   DL [player_tooltip player_id='1599698' first='Asher' last='Epstein'] 27' Peninsula    DL [player_tooltip player_id='1582222' first='Dylan' last='Olsby'] 27' Ballard    DL [player_tooltip player_id='584671' first='Julius' last='Hernandez-Avila'] 27' Life Christian    DL [player_tooltip player_id='1599632' first='Jeremiah' last='Leumuava'] 27' Graham Kapowsin    LB [player_tooltip player_id='652796' first='Liufau' last='Loumoli'] 27' Eastside Catholic OFFERS (21) Ohio St, Michigan, Notre Dame, Washington, USC   LB [player_tooltip player_id='1188110' first='Michael' last='Pulalasi'] 27' Lakes    LB [player_tooltip player_id='1568794' first='Drenden' last='Knaevelsrud'] 27' Mount Si    LB [player_tooltip player_id='584705' first='Adonai' last='Ve'e'] 27' Kentwood    LB [player_tooltip player_id='1555731' first='Jason' last='Armbruster'] 27' Mount Si   LB [player_tooltip player_id='1568793' first='David' last='Dudko'] 27' Skyview    LB [player_tooltip player_id='928141' first='MJ' last='Wadley'] 27' Yelm    LB [player_tooltip player_id='1530876' first='Toren' last='Baker'] 27' Skyview    DB [player_tooltip player_id='928074' first='Maurice' last='Williams'] 27' Yelm OFFERS (7) Washington, Ariz St, Oregon St, BYU, UNLV   DB [player_tooltip player_id='1530872' first='Jordan' last='Noel'] 27' Kennedy Catholic OFFERS (1) Sacramento St   DB [player_tooltip player_id='1188077' first='Tayven' last='Collins'] 27' Cascade Christian OFFERS (4) BYU, New Mexico, Nevada    DB [player_tooltip player_id='1368366' first='Malik' last='Burns'] 27' Spanaway Lake    DB [player_tooltip player_id='685276' first='Sirjewel' last='Glover'] 27' Rainier Beach OFFERS (3) Idaho, Montana St   DB [player_tooltip player_id='652802' first='Elias' last='Tulifua'] 27' Eastside Catholic OFFERS (1) Louisville            DEFENSIVE SUMMARY: Washington has a couple high profile D lineman in [player_tooltip player_id='1599603' first='Tevita' last='Nonu'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1188123' first='Ty' last='Tautolo'], with both holding offers from the likes of Notre Dame and Washington. Nonu comes from a talented family and blew up as a sophomore, helping his team to the state title. Tautolo made a good move transferring from Snohomish HS to state power Lake Stevens.    Most of the Oregon D lineman are under the radar guys and haven't been acknowledged on the recruiting front yet. [player_tooltip player_id='937281' first='Tripp' last='Johansen'] of Willamette was the first to receive a D1 offer just a few days ago from Idaho. He has helped himself out with a phenomenal off season as part of FSP. [player_tooltip player_id='936855' first='Nate' last='Peau'] of Central Catholic and [player_tooltip player_id='937240' first='Isaiah' last='Ormond'] of Mountainside were both all conference guys last year, with 6-6 DE [player_tooltip player_id='1246545' first='Josh' last='Christensen'] being one of the fastest rising prospects in the state.    The Oregon LB's are an impressive group with [player_tooltip player_id='1095838' first='Jack' last='Brauckmiller'] being a potential 4* and Kawaii Chamberlin holding a few D1 offers. Both the PIL and Mt Hood come with an elite combination of backers as well. [player_tooltip player_id='936846' first='Leonardo' last='Correani'] and [player_tooltip player_id='709506' first='Deckard' last='Hale'] will be PIL POY favorites this coming season with [player_tooltip player_id='1359070' first='Drew' last='Miller'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1119887' first='Duncan' last='Wellman'] both earning 1st team all Mt Hood honors as sophomores.    Washington features one of the top LB's in the country in 4* [player_tooltip player_id='652796' first='Liufau' last='Loumoli']. Other individuals who could land multiple offers in the coming months include [player_tooltip player_id='1188110' first='Michael' last='Pulalasi'] of Lakes who was a state statistical leader and a special pair of LB's out of Mount Si in [player_tooltip player_id='1568794' first='Drenden' last='Knaevelsrud'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1555731' first='Jason' last='Armbruster']. The 6-4 Knaevelsrud was the only sophomore in the Kingco Crown division to earn 1st or 2nd team all-conference honors.    It's an interesting comparison when referencing the DB's with [player_tooltip player_id='632957' first='Josiah' last='Molden'] out of Oregon ranking as one of the top players in America for his class. He is currently the only one in the state with a D1 offer, but it's a solid group overall with [player_tooltip player_id='1242623' first='Cavan' last='Rogers'] of Oregon City being another kid who could blow up.    Washington features five D1 offered guys in the secondary which is a lot considering they are only 27's. [player_tooltip player_id='928074' first='Maurice' last='Williams'] has received the most notoriety with [player_tooltip player_id='1188077' first='Tayven' last='Collins'] impressing at Safety. Both [player_tooltip player_id='685276' first='Sirjewel' last='Glover'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1530872' first='Jordan' last='Noel'] have stocks that are rising.
