<p>There have been dozens of football camps all over the country this spring, providing high school student-athletes with a chance to perform in front of college coaches and evaluators in order to raise their stock.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The state of Oregon featured several athletes who took advantage of that opportunity to change the course of their recruitment, or simply put themselves on the map for the first time.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Here's a look at the All-Camp Offense for Oregon high school football (All-Camp Defense coming soon):</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>QB: [player_tooltip player_id='1232699' first='Cade' last='Mitchell'], Mountainside (2026); [player_tooltip player_id='904208' first='Zeke' last='Thomas'], Willamette (2028)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Mountainside's [player_tooltip player_id='1232699' first='Cade' last='Mitchell'] (X - @CadeMitchell08) entered the spring as one of the Northwest's most underrated prospects.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He enters the summer as the reigning QB MVP of the Avery Strong Showcase and Northwest Showcase.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Frankly, he did everything he could go. He went out, unafraid to compete and took home the MVP award at the two biggest camps in the region.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Mitchell is committed to New Mexico and should have a bright college football future - after a strong senior campaign, that is.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Willamette quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='904208' first='Zeke' last='Thomas'] (X - @Zekeymanjames) is arguably the top prospect in Oregon in the class of 2028 and continued on that trajectory with a strong spring.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He was a standout at The Northwest Showcase and has generated buzz among college football programs.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Thomas is definitely a player to watch over the next year.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He should rise significantly.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>RB: [player_tooltip player_id='937241' first='Cole' last='Hachmeister'], Tualatin (2027); [player_tooltip player_id='1345172' first='Jarrett' last='Martin'], Banks (2026)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Tualatin's [player_tooltip player_id='937241' first='Cole' last='Hachmeister'] (X - @ColeHachmeister) has been on a tear of late.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>After running a sub-11.00 100-meter time in his season-opening race, the Tualatin star won the Idaho camp RB MVP.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>After averaging 8.8 yards per carry last season, he could break out and be among the state of Oregon's most productive backs this fall.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hachmeister is ascending at the right time.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Banks running back [player_tooltip player_id='1345172' first='Jarrett' last='Martin'] (X - @Jarrettm267) was in a loaded Session 1 at the Northwest Showcase, but earned his place about the group of featured 5-to-6 top backs.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Martin more than held his own against that competition, showcasing both improved footwork and the ability to run routes and get open.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Martin had a great showing and landed firmly on my radar.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I'm genuinely intrigued to see what he does this fall. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>WR: [player_tooltip player_id='769925' first='Oliver' last='Luebkert'] Beaverton (2026); Presley Delance, Lake Oswego (2028); [player_tooltip player_id='937176' first='Malachi' last='Garlington'], Nelson (2027); [player_tooltip player_id='914315' first='Corinthian' last='Littleton'], Parkrose (2026)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Beaverton's [player_tooltip player_id='769925' first='Oliver' last='Luebkert'] (X - @oliverluebkert_) had arguably the best spring of any receiver in Oregon.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 6-foot-3, 190-pound pass-catcher earned WR MVP at a national camp in Texas, earned MVP at the Idaho camp and was a standout at The Northwest Showcase.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The best way to get on the radar in the offseason is to perform well in front of college coaches, and to make sure you are competing at a high level.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Luebkert does that every time he steps on the field.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>An all-state season is very much within striking distance for the Beaverton star. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lake Oswego's Presley Delance (X - @PresleyDelance) started his spring with a strong showing for Team Lillard, then was a standout at The Northwest Showcase.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 2028 prospect is 6-foot-4, 220 pounds and has clearly established himself as one of the state's top prospects in his class.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>There's potential for a huge breakout this fall. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Nelson's [player_tooltip player_id='937176' first='Malachi' last='Garlington'] (X - @Malachi_Ga23) was another player who simply went out and competed all over the region this spring. He attended events at Oregon, Oregon State, Western Oregon and Lewis and Clark College.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Garlington quickly drew my attention at The Northwest Showcase and landed firmly on my radar as a player to watch this fall.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Before that, however, the 6-foot-3, 175-pound pass-catcher will be competing at the Les Schwab Bowl, where he caught a pass while doing a flip in practice for his “Best Catch Challenge.”</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Okay, you've got my attention! </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Parkrose star [player_tooltip player_id='914315' first='Corinthian' last='Littleton'] (X - @CorinthianL7492) had a stellar 7-on-7 season for Team Lillard and then went out and performed well in the camp circuit.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 5-foot-10, 175-pound playmaker proved to be difficult to cover at The Northwest Showcase and quickly picked up an offer from Western Oregon University.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Littleton made the most of his opportunities this spring and he should be an electric offensive weapon this fall.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>TE: [player_tooltip player_id='1110964' first='Cole' last='Newton'], Tualatin (2026); [player_tooltip player_id='1609764' first='Sam' last='Robbins'], Valley Catholic (2028)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Tualatin's [player_tooltip player_id='1110964' first='Cole' last='Newton'] (X - @Cole_Newtonn) had a big year for Team Lillard, then earned The Northwest Showcase Session 5 TE MVP.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>When you earn one of roughly 25 MVP awards at a 900-athlete camp you've made a statement.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Newton hauled in seven touchdowns on just 25 receptions last fall. Expect those numbers to take a major leap this season.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Valley Catholic's [player_tooltip player_id='1609764' first='Sam' last='Robbins'] was, admittedly, a relative unknown to me prior to The Northwest Showcase, but he more than held his own as an intriguing young 6-foot-6 tight end prospect going against quality competition.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He'll need to add weight and get stronger - what 2028 prospect doesn't? - but he carries intriguing upside at a position that the state of Oregon is known for producing.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It's going to be very exciting to watch his development and potential breakout. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>OL: [player_tooltip player_id='1341235' first='Jaxon' last='Barber'] Lakeridge (2026); [player_tooltip player_id='1110967' first='Connor' last='LaGrow'], Tualatin (2026); [player_tooltip player_id='914288' first='Carter' last='Paul'], Lakerige (2026); [player_tooltip player_id='770046' first='Quinn' last='Wicklow'], Jesuit (2026); [player_tooltip player_id='402412' first='Joe' last='Weiler'], Lakeridge (2026); [player_tooltip player_id='1569372' first='Aiden' last='Lewey'], Willamette (2026)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lakeridge's [player_tooltip player_id='1341235' first='Jaxon' last='Barber'] (X - @JaxonBarber3) isn't the highest-rated player on this list, but his performance at The Northwest Showcase was one of the main reasons I wanted to write this article.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>So much of the recruiting world is making the most of your opportunities, and Barber did that at The Northwest Showcase.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He picked up a pair of offers from Western Oregon and Central Washington and raised his profile.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>That's what it's all about.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Tualatin's [player_tooltip player_id='1110967' first='Connor' last='LaGrow'] (X - @ConnorLaGrow) makes an impression any time he steps on a football field.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 6-foot-6, 285-pound offensive lineman is still recovering from a knee injury, but the fact that he's out competing and holding his own is an excellent sign.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>You can't teach size and you can't coach effort.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>LaGrow embodied both of those qualities this spring.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lakeridge's [player_tooltip player_id='914288' first='Carter' last='Paul'] (X - @carterpaul75) is another massive offensive lineman at 6-foot-7, 310 pounds.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Paul traveled to multiple college campuses this spring to compete and meet with coaching staffs, and left with offers from Eastern Washington, Idaho, Portland State and Sacramento State.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He recently committed to Idaho, putting an end to his process, but that's how you handle a recruitment. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jesuit's [player_tooltip player_id='770046' first='Quinn' last='Wicklow'] (X - @qwicklow32) traveled all over to various camps this spring.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 6-foot-6, 270-pound lineman picked up offers from Eastern Washington, Northern Arizona, Portland State, San Diego and others.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It's been a productive few months for the next Division I Jesuit lineman.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lakeridge's [player_tooltip player_id='402412' first='Joe' last='Weiler'] (@joejweiler) had a solid 5-on-5 showing in late April and recently picked up an offer from Air Force.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>With a 3.91 GPA, the Three Rivers League standout will have some high-academic offers before it's all said and done. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Willamette's [player_tooltip player_id='1569372' first='Aiden' last='Lewey'] (X - @aidenlewey08) has attended several camps over the past few months and his athleticism stands out.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 6-foot-3, 260-pound lineman still needs to add some (good) mass to his frame, but his competitiveness and ‘want” can't be questioned.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I'm intrigued to hear more feedback following Lewey's Les Schwab Bowl week. </p>
