Pre Rankings Release: Which Athletes Could Make a Jump "O"

The rankings will be updated this coming week and here we take a look at a few of Oregon's top 2026 athletes who could make a nice jump up the board. Check it..          [player_tooltip player_id='402407' first='Dylan' last='Brower'] 5-11 150 QB Clackamas    Brower doesn't have prototypical size for a QB, but he will definitely be in the conversation for Mt Hood POY honors after throwing for 2,174 yards and 26 TDs in 2024. Clack will go as far as he takes them next season.    [player_tooltip player_id='284122' first='Turner' last='Tropio'] 6-0 170 ATH Lakeridge    One of the more underrated 26's in the state. We talked on Tropio excelling for EForce on the 7v7 circuit this past off season. Look for him to potentially double his numbers from last year, where he averaged 17.4 yards per catch with 4 TDs.    [player_tooltip player_id='914315' first='Corinthian' last='Littleton'] 5-10 175 WR Parkrose   Littleton killed it for Team Lillard over the off season and significantly upped his stock. Parkrose has struggled going (4-32) over the last four seasons, but even with the circumstances he will still be one of the best at the 5A level.    [player_tooltip player_id='1560662' first='Rocco' last='De La Rosa'] 6-2 190 ATH Philomath   Expect to see De La Rosa make a nice jump up the rankings board after landing his first D1 offer from Air Force and having multiple MVP type performances on the 7v7 circuit. This could potentially be the first time ever 4A Philomath will feature two division 1 athletes in the same year ([player_tooltip player_id='914278' first='CD' last='Nuno']).    [player_tooltip player_id='1110920' first='Parker' last='Sellner'] 6-2 200 QB/ATH Newberg    We've talked about Sellner multiple times in the last few weeks. He's a big physical athlete who can play a variety of spots on either side of the ball at the next level. He looked outstanding at the NW Showcase and returns as a conference POY favorite after earning 2nd team all-league honors at QB last season.    [player_tooltip player_id='1654724' first='Hunter' last='Vaughn'] 6-1 180 WR Willamette    Another kid we've talked about numerous times from 1A North Douglas who makes the transfer to Willamette after putting up video game like numbers last season. He's raw but has D1 speed and destroyed 7v7 defenders. Even at the 1A level his 4000+ yards and 62 TD season from last year is unreal.    [player_tooltip player_id='1660026' first='Ruedi' last='Graf'] 6-2 285 OL Tigard    Graf was an honorable mention all-conference TRL guy last season and will be key if the Tigers are going to compete in the NW's toughest conference. The Tigers have a talented but relatively inexperienced perimeter so he will need to step up and lead up front.    [player_tooltip player_id='1569401' first='Ethan' last='Hein'] 6-0 170 ATH Newberg   One of the few players at the 6A level to earn 1st team all-conference honors on both sides of the ball. Hein will team with his QB Sellner, and RB [player_tooltip player_id='1660151' first='Chase' last='Macken'], to give the Tigers a legit shot at a league title over Sherwood for the first time in years.    [player_tooltip player_id='1591972' first='LJ' last='Kyle'] 6-3 280 OL South Albany    Kyle was one of the most impressive players on the camp circuit early this off season, MVPing the PRZ event over the winter. He was a 2nd team all-conference lineman on both sides of the football, but likely projects as an interior O line guy. He plays with a no-nonsense demeanor much like his teammate [player_tooltip player_id='402396' first='Brennan' last='Mesa'].    [player_tooltip player_id='1528942' first='Connor' last='Conneely'] 5-9 165 WR Summit    You might say Conneely is too small to be a factor collegiately and then you watch him play and your perspective changes. He was Summit's MVP last season, earning 2nd team all IMC honors, while also killing it for EForce in 7v7.    [player_tooltip player_id='513128' first='Sam' last='Ribner'] 6-3 190 QB Cleveland   Ribner made the transfer from Central Catholic to Cleveland where he started and did well, considering the situation. To say the Cleveland program has struggled would be an understatement going 5-22 over the last three years. Having a talented and experienced QB gives them a shot at winning a few more ball games this season.    [player_tooltip player_id='1341986' first='Misha' last='Golub'] 6-3 275 OL Tualatin   Golub is one to watch and one of the fastest rising interior lineman in Oregon. He's added size and was impressive at the NW Showcase. The T-Wolves will once again be a top 5 team if the line can hold their own with the likes of West Linn, LO, and Lakeridge.    [player_tooltip player_id='1654728' first='Kellen' last='Bailey'] 6-6 190 WR Summit    Bailey was somewhat of an unknown but did well on the 7v7 circuit and has a crazy high ceiling with his 6-6 frame if he can put it all together. The Storm will be 5A title contenders and he should be a legit contributor.
