<p>26.[player_tooltip player_id='769921' first='Silas' last='Reynolds'] 6-3 195 ATH West Linn</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 2x all TRL OLB is an intriguing prospect with an unlimited ceiling. We haven't really seen him on the camp circuit, but the potential is there for him to be a major recruit. Reynolds has D1 speed so this next year will be extremely interesting for him at WR as well. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>27.[player_tooltip player_id='1585700' first='Cole' last='Thomas'] 6-1 195 Safety Central Catholic <strong>OFFERS (2) Portland St, Penn</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Thomas has a stock that has jumped significantly in recent months adding multiple D1 offers, after racking up 1<sup>st</sup> all Mt Hood and honorable mention all-state honors at safety last season. The Rams will need him to repeat his 62 tackle, 4 TFL, and 4 TD performance from last year. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>28.[player_tooltip player_id='914282' first='James' last='Wade'] 6-0 170 DB Grant</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Coach Lillard says Wade is the best DB in Oregon for the 26' class. He earned All American honors at the Under Armour National Combine a year ago, and makes the unique transfer from Central Catholic back to Grant. His stat line for the Rams last year was impressive, making 30 tackles with 13 PBU's and 3 INTs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>29.[player_tooltip player_id='1234612' first='Jalen' last='Bauman'] 5-10 175 CB Lake Oswego</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Bauman has one of the fastest rising stocks of any player in Oregon. He has NFL genes and D1 speed (10.7 100 meters) and will be key for the Lakers in the secondary after earning 1st team all-state honors last season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>30.[player_tooltip player_id='1544468' first='EJ' last='Cozart'] 5-9 155 ATH Jefferson</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Cozart has had an unreal offseason after leading the state in receiving yards last season. He won the fastest man award at the UW camp with a 4.42 40-yard dash and then proceeded to win the 6A state championship in the long jump. His versatility and elite speed help him make a significant jump up the rankings board. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>31.[player_tooltip player_id='770047' first='John' last='Ching'] 6-5 220 DE Jesuit</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 2<sup>nd</sup> team all-Metro DE from last year has a ridiculous ceiling with his size and overall intangibles. Much like his teammate Wicklow the 6-5 frame will have him listed on multiple D1 recruiting boards as we head into the season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>32.[player_tooltip player_id='284120' first='Drew' last='Weiler'] 6-4 210 QB Lakeridge</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Weiler killed it as part of EForce on the 7v7 circuit this off season, after hitting on 70% of his passes with 21 TD's/4 INTs in 2024. The 2<sup>nd</sup> team all TRL returner was called a D1 kid by former Washington St standout and NFL vet Alex Brink. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>33.[player_tooltip player_id='402418' first='Marcus' last='Post'] 6-0 190 DB Lakeridge</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Post will be a 4-year starter and returns after having one of the best off-season's of any player in the region. He earned 1st team DB and 2nd team WR accolades last year. From a projection standpoint it will come down to what he can do on film to justify some of the FCS schools offering. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>34.[player_tooltip player_id='1112405' first='Kilian' last='Eddleman'] 6-1 220 LB Lakeridge</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hands down one of the top LB's in Oregon. Much like his brother Treyson who committed to D2 Central Washington he is on the bubble from a D1 standpoint. You can't argue with numbers or accolades, earning 1<sup>st</sup> team all TRL and 2nd team all-state honors after making 62 tackles, with 11 TFL's, and 15 hurries last season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>35.[player_tooltip player_id='1234459' first='Matthew' last='Hinkle'] 6-2 225 OLB Cascade <strong>OFFERS (1) Portland St</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Another one of the fastest risers in the region. Credit to PSU on being the first to offer as numerous other Big Sky's will likely follow. Hinkle earned 1st team all-state D line honors as a junior with Cascade expected to compete for a 4A state title this season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>36.[player_tooltip player_id='769991' first='Yahkyll' last='Noil'] 6-2 225 LB Lakeridge <strong>OFFERS (1) Portland St</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Noil is another athlete with D1 genes who has had a big offseason garnering his first offer from PSU. He played early in his career for the Pacers and has dealt with some injuries. He will have a lot of eyes on him every week during the season with Lakeridge featuring numerous D1 projected athletes. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>37.[player_tooltip player_id='402422' first='Rowen' last='Lewis'] 6-2 220 LB Lake Oswego</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lewis made a big jump on the list after a breakout 7v7 season as part of Team Alpha. He earned honorable mention all-conference LB honors last year and has the potential of being pursued by many of the Ivy League schools. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>38.[player_tooltip player_id='402412' first='Joe' last='Weiler'] 6-6 270 T Lakeridge <strong>OFFERS (1) Air Force</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The big man returns as a 2x honorable mention all TRL O lineman, landing his first D1 offer from Air Force a few months back. From a recruitment standpoint a lot will depend on the film he can put together against the state's top competition this season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>39.[player_tooltip player_id='1341235' first='Jaxon' last='Barber'] 6-3 295 G Lincoln </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Barber is built like a house and will be listed among the top interior O line guys in the NW. He makes the transfer from Lincoln to Lakeridge after earning 2nd team all-PIL honors last season. He's recently landed offers from Western Oregon and Central Washington and will be on multiple FCS recruiting boards. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>40.[player_tooltip player_id='1403779' first='Charlie' last='Dexter'] 6-5 215 TE/DE Churchill</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Definitely a kid to keep an eye on this season. The 6-5 standout earned honorable mention all-state honors on both sides of the football last year projecting as more of a TE. That said as his 43 tackles, 6 sacks, and 15 TFL's were one of the most impressive stat lines in the state. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>41.[player_tooltip player_id='1094961' first='Jordan' last='Hicks'] 5-10 195 RB Mountainside</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Statistically few have been better in the state of Oregon the last two seasons, with Hicks going for over 2400 rushing yards and 26 TDs. He will be in the Metro League POY conversation once again with the Mavericks trying to win a second conference title against traditional power Jesuit. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>42.[player_tooltip player_id='1169947' first='Hudson' last='Gasperson'] 6-1 180 CB Lake Oswego <strong>OFFERS (1) San Diego</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This kid was super impressive all off season as part of Team Alpha on the 7v7 circuit. His 42 tackles, 4 INTs, and 15 PBU's helped him earn 2nd team all TRL and honorable mention all-state accolades as a junior. The offer from San Diego speaks to his potential at the D1 level. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>43.[player_tooltip player_id='402427' first='Tyson' last='Davis'] 6-1 200 RB Central Catholic</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Give Davis a lot of credit as he carried the load for the Rams with [player_tooltip player_id='402415' first='Killian' last='Sombe'] going down for the year. You can't argue with the numbers as he went for 1,160 yards and 15 TDs in 9 games. His brother Zachary Davis committed to D1 Georgia St after last season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>44.[player_tooltip player_id='1569372' first='Aiden' last='Lewey'] 6-3 260 G Willamette <strong>OFFERS (1) Portland St</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lewey was a 1st team all-conference selection at Sheldon as a junior. He has had one of the best-off seasons of any lineman in the NW, landing his first offer from PSU. Like many others he is making the move to Willamette. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>45.[player_tooltip player_id='777410' first='Roman' last='Mallard'] 6-0 185 ATH Jesuit</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I could see Mallard having a Metro League Defensive POY type season and being even better in college. You can't teach the NFL/D1 genes, and the Crusaders are going to be a lot better than people realize. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>46.[player_tooltip player_id='1654724' first='Hunter' last='Vaughn'] 6-1 180 ATH Willamette</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Everyone in the state should be paying attention to Vaughn. He recently went for a couple TDs at the Les Schwab Bowl, after going for 4000+ yards and 62 touchdowns at 1A North Douglas last season. It wouldn't surprise me to see him end up ranked in the top 20 with multiple D1 offers. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>47.[player_tooltip player_id='1528941' first='Kellen' last='Elliott'] 6-3 225 DE Summit <strong>OFFERS (1) Portland St</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Elliott kids can play. Once again credit PSU for getting on the Central Oregon standout early. He brings a lot to the table as a 4.0 student and could have numerous high end academic universities vying for his services. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>48.[player_tooltip player_id='914281' first='Koen' last='Campos'] 5-11 190 RB West Salem</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Campos won overall MVP honors at the PRZ event during the Winter after going for close to 2000 yards and 22 TDs last year. From a recruitment standpoint a lot will depend on what type of film he can put together as a senior. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>49.[player_tooltip player_id='1560662' first='Rocco' last='De La Rosa'] 6-2 190 ATH/DB Philomath <strong>OFFERS (1) Air Force</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It's not easy to get recruited playing small school Oregon football so you have to give it up to De La Rosa with the early offer from Air Force. He is a legit two-way threat, being equally dangerous on both sides of the ball. His 1000+ all-purpose yards and 16 TDs, to go with 4 INTs, is tough to beat. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>50.[player_tooltip player_id='769989' first='Viggo' last='Anderson'] 5-7 160 RB West Linn </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Once again, it's a size thing if we are talking projection. He might be the most exciting athlete in Oregon when in space. If West Linn repeats, I could see him being the 6A POY after earning 2<sup>nd</sup> team all-state honors last year. </p>
