<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1560665' first='Brevik' last='Hill'] 27' WR [player_tooltip player_id='796694' first='Jordan' last='Rossetta'] 27' QB Grants Pass</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hill had an unreal season being named the conference Offensive POY while projecting as a 1<sup>st</sup> team all-state athlete on both sides of the ball. In their 35-32 upset of Sherwood he caught 8 passes for 133 yards and 3 TDs from Oregon's #1 ranked QB for 2027 Rossetta. He was 13/21 for 193 yards with all three of his touchdown passes going to Hill. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1591586' first='Luke' last='Ortner'] 27' RB Jesuit </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>What hasn't Ortner done this year? He was once again the key in the Crusaders 34-33 overtime victory over #7 Tualatin. On the night he rushed 37 times for 234 yards and 4 TDs. He has been hands down one of the most impressive players in the entire NW. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1660162' first='Hunter' last='Rivers'] 26' LB Dallas </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Rivers could very well be the Oregon 5A Defensive POY. He recently earned his 1<sup>st</sup> D1 offer from Portland St and went off in the 1<sup>st</sup> round of the playoffs, finishing with 11 tackles and 5 sacks (yes you read that right). He also added 2 TFL's, 8 QB pressures, and a TD in the 45-6 win over Milwaukie. Definitely one of the most impressive stat lines all season long. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='904208' first='Zeke' last='Thomas'] 28' QB Willamette</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Thomas has played lights out all year as the unquestioned #1 QB and potential overall recruit for the 2028 class. He left no doubt against a good #9 Mountainside team in the 42-20 win, hitting on 11 of 17 passes for 236 yards and 5 touchdowns with 1 INT. The Wolverines are legit. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1232743' first='Daniel' last='Heninger'] 26' RB Glencoe 24-181-2 TDs 35-21 L Lakerdige </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>To me this was maybe Heninger's most impressive game against a very good football team. Even though he went for 300+ yards on the season four times, his 25 carries for 185 yards and 2 TDs against the #4 Pacers was justification for him being a 1<sup>st</sup> team all-state back. As referenced I can't say enough good things about Coach Ian Reynoso and his Crimson Tide group who lost 35-21. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1591745' first='Ryder' last='Carpenter'] 27' RB [player_tooltip player_id='1011382' first='Angel' last='Valenzuela'] 26' RB Mountain View </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Mountain View beat the brakes off Hillsboro last Friday 41-0. They will be one of the 5A title favorites behind one of the state's top RB duos. The junior Carpenter rushed 11 times for 157 yards and 2 TD's with Valenzuela adding 112 yards and 3 touchdowns. We have talked about these two all year long. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1169947' first='Hudson' last='Gasperson'] 26' DB Lake Oswego </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The San Diego commit is having an all-state season for the Lakers, going on lock down mode again against Sprague with 3 PBU's and 0 catches allowed in the 49-14 win. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1286959' first='Kellen' last='Lefebvre'] 26' RB South Medford </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lefebvre is one of the more underrated players in the state, rushing 20 times for 164 yards and 2 TDs in three quarters, during their 38-7 win over Oregon City in the consolation bracket. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1699751' first='Luke' last='Carli'] 26' WR /[player_tooltip player_id='1359052' first='Trevor' last='Glos'] 27' QB Wilsonville</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This pair continues to kill it. Carli caught 6 balls for 153 yards and 2 TDs with his QB Glos having a player of the year type season. He was 23/33 for 440 yards and 4 touchdowns in the 45-42 win over a good Ridgeview team. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1878396' first='Aidan' last='Galusha'] 27' LB/RB Dallas </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Get used to the name as Galusha can do a little bit of everything. He projects at LB where he finished with 3 tackles, 2 sacks, and 7 hurries to go with 7 carries for 99 yards and 2 TDs offensively. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='769925' first='Oliver' last='Luebkert'] 26' WR Beaverton </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Luebkert is on the verge of breaking multiple all time state records heading into this week. That's how special this season has been for him. He had another 10 catches for 114 yards and 3 TDs in the 35-15 consolation bracket win over North Salem. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='759688' first='Lukas' last='Babbitt'] 26' RB/LB [player_tooltip player_id='1403779' first='Charlie' last='Dexter'] 26' DE Churchill </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Give Babbitt and his team all the credit in the world with very few giving them a shot of winning on the road against a good Lebanon team. The reigning conference defensive POY Babbitt went off again carrying the ball 33 times for 182 yards and all three of his team's TD's. It was a great week for him landing his first D1 offer from PSU as well. The Lancer's D was unreal led by the 6-5 220-pound division 1 DE prospect Dexter in the 21-8 win. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='284119' first='Ansu' last='Sanoe'] 26' RB Lakeridge </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Sanoe has been off the charts good all year long after a few so-so seasons. He deserves a ton of credit rushing 18 times for 168 yards and 5 TDs against Glencoe. He has backed up the hype and then some. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1654724' first='Hunter' last='Vaughn'] 26' ATH Willamette</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I'll give it about 5 minutes before Vaughn lands his first D1 offer. He has been exceptional all year adding 2 more TDs with an INT in Willamette's impressive 42-20 win over Mountainside. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Ryden Nakamura 26' RB Ridgeview </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>We've mentioned the baseball standout multiple times this season with Ridgeview looking like one of the top 5A teams in the state. They came up just short to 2x state champ Wilsonville 45-42 with Nakumura rushing for 227 yards and 2 more touchdowns. </p>
