UPDATED: Oregon 2028 Rankings (Top 100) 1-25

Per usual rankings are based on who projects highest at the collegiate level. You can be an outstanding HS athlete and not project to high level of collegiate ball. Have a look at the Oregon Top 100 for 2028 as we break down #1-25. This list was put together in collaboration with Andrew Nemec.   *PLEASE NOTE: 40+ athletes were added to the 2028 rankings board so multiple individuals will drop numerous spots for that reason alone.          TOP 100 <a href="https://prepredzone.com/oregon/rankings/2028-rankings/">https://prepredzone.com/oregon/rankings/2028-rankings/</a>         1.[player_tooltip player_id='1654734' first='PJ' last='Tautu'] 6-4 255 DE/OL Central Catholic OFFERS (2) Oregon St, Portland St   UPDATED: One of the top two-way lineman anywhere in the West. Tautu earned 1st team all-league and 2nd team all-state honors on the offensive side of the ball as a sophomore, while likely projecting on D. He was a big reason the Rams advanced to the 6A title game.    Tautu has solidified himself as a top recruit after an outstanding off season where he picked up multiple D1 offers. You can watch his freshman film at the varsity level and his reps on the camp circuit and see that he is special.    2.[player_tooltip player_id='904208' first='Zeke' last='Thomas'] 6-1 190 QB Willamette OFFERS (2) Boise St, Sacamento St   UPDATED: Thomas backed up the hype and then some after making the move to 6A Willamette. He was a 1st team all South-Central Conference selection, hitting on 66% of his passes while totaling 3,022 yards (2,652 passing, 370 rushing) and 35 TD's/8 INTs. Look for him to add numerous other D1 offers this offseason.    One of the top dual-sport athletes on the west coast for his class. Thomas broke every passing record in Oregon among freshman, throwing for 2,508 yards and 28 TDs/4 INTs with a 65% completion percentage. He makes the move from Crescent Valley to Willamette where he will lead a loaded squad at the 6A level.    3.[player_tooltip player_id='1609771' first='Peter' last='Stanley'] 6-4 285 T Summit OFFERS (1) California    UPDATED: Another kid who I could see adding multiple offers in the coming months. Stanley was part of a dominant offensive front that helped the Storm reach the 5A title game. Watch the film as he's incredibly fluid for a young lineman.    Stanley could be the #1 ranked prospect on this board when all is said and done. There isn't much film to evaluate as of right now, but his recent Cal offer speaks to his unlimited ceiling. Summit will be a legit 5A title contender for the next few seasons with him leading up front.    4.[player_tooltip player_id='1613644' first='Presley' last='DeLance'] 6-4 225 WR Lake Oswego   UPDATED: DeLance is a big physical presence who brings a unique combination of size and speed to the table (4.7 40-yard dash). On the year he caught 9 passes for 235 yards (26.1ypc) and a TD for the state champs. I expect him to blow up on the recruiting front this offseason.   One of the fastest rising prospects in the region. DeLance has had a phenomenal off season, breaking out at the Northwest Showcase, with an MVP type performance. He has the physical tools and ability to be a legit contributor for what looks to be a #1 ranked Lakers team heading into the season.    5.[player_tooltip player_id='1609595' first='Iden' last='Rule'] 5-11 200 RB/LB Tualatin   UPDATE: Pound for pound the best player in the state for his class. Rule will be a TRL and State POY favorite the next two seasons after totaling 940 yards (720 rushing, 220 receiving) and 10 TDs on 115 touches in 2025. He was a 1st team all-league RB and 2nd team LB.    From a projection standpoint a lot will depend on continued growth, but Rule is an unquestioned D1 athlete. Playing against his peers as a freshman he was a man amongst boys. He comes from a talented family and will likely be a multi-year 1st team all-state selection.    6.[player_tooltip player_id='1609596' first='Brady' last='Knips'] 6-5 205 DE/TE Tualatin   UPDATED: Knips did what was expected for the T-Wolves earning honorable mention all TRL honors on both sides of the ball. If he gets out on the camp circuit, I could see him blowing up this off season as you can't teach the size and overall versatility.   Knips could start at DE and play a significant role at TE as a sophomore. His size and overall athletic ability put him in a special category of athlete. He will be a major D1 recruit.    7.[player_tooltip player_id='1609758' first='Jake' last='Hamper'] 6-0 175 Safety/ATH West Linn    UPDATED: The last name speaks for itself. Hamper was an honorable mention all-conference Safety as a sophomore for a loaded Lions team. Expect him to be one of the best in the state offensively as well in the coming seasons.    His brother Mark Hamper, now at Cal, was probably the best player in the state a few years back. Jake projects as an all TRL athlete in the secondary this season. He will be one of the top two-way threats in the region over the next few years.    8.[player_tooltip player_id='2106040' first='Leofatu' last='Filipe'] 6-5 230 DE/TE Thurston   UPDATED: One of the fastest rising recruits in the Western region. It wouldn't surprise me to see him ranked as one of the top 2-3 players in the state when all is said and done. Filipe was a 1st team all-conference and honorable mention all-state DE, finishing with 64 tackles, 17 TFL's, and 6 sacks as a sophomore.    9. [player_tooltip player_id='2105987' first='Mark' last='Bailey'] 6-3 255 OL/DL Silverton   UPDATED: Bailey accomplished the rare feat of earning 1st team all-state honors offensively and 2nd team on the D line as a sophomore. It's not every day a youngster contributes the way he did. He was a big reason the Foxes won the 5A title.    10.[player_tooltip player_id='1609761' first='Tyler' last='Holmes'] 6-1 200 LB/ATH West Linn   UPDATED: Holmes was the only sophomore on D to earn 1st or 2nd team all TRL accolades in the NW's toughest conference. He consistently makes plays and does special things for the Lions. I would expect him to be in the mix for POY honors next season.    Holmes had one of the best-off seasons of any player in the region, impressing on the 7v7 circuit and breaking out at the Northwest Showcase. He will be key for the reigning state champs on both sides of the football.    11.[player_tooltip player_id='1609764' first='Sam' last='Robbins'] 6-5 190 TE/OLB Valley Catholic   UPDATED: The big man caught 33 passes for 588 yards and 9 TD's to go with 83 tackles, 6 TFL's, and 4 INT's on the year. Robbins has all the tools; it will just come down to how much he progresses in the coming months.    Robbins has the frame and length to be a high-profile prospect if he continues to progress in his game. He was dominant at times as a freshman and has the potential of being one of the best small school athletes ever to come out of the state.    12.[player_tooltip player_id='1609788' first='Knox' last='Smith'] 6-3 185 WR Willamette   UPDATED: The sophomore standout went down with a broken collar bone in week 5, but did well early in the year, catching 16 passes for 173 yards and 2 TDs. Look for him to be one of the best receivers in Oregon next season.    Smith put up some of the best numbers in the NW among freshman with 28 receptions and close to 300 receiving yards. He has been compared to Wake Forest commit Jack Foley which is a huge compliment.    13.[player_tooltip player_id='1609636' first='Brock' last='Estes'] 6-5 160 WR Tualatin   UPDATED: Typically kids who played mostly JV wouldn't be ranked this high, but Estes is an exception with some of his intangibles and Tualatin being loaded. His mobility at 6-5 is incredibly impressive, finishing with 38 catches for 795 yards and 9 TDs to go with 7 INTs on D at the JV level. He also notably finished 3rd at the state track meet as a freshman in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 14.84.    One of the most impressive young players in the state on the 7v7 circuit. He excelled as part of Team Lillard and will be one of the most influential players statewide at receiver. Estes will need to add some thickness if he is going to contribute for the T-Wolves this year.    14.[player_tooltip player_id='1614894' first='Lincoln' last='Keeney'] 6-4 190 QB Tualatin    UPDATED: Keeney got limited reps at the Varsity level but did well when given the opportunity throwing 4 TD's/0 INT's in 5 quarters. He had 41 total TDs and 5 INTs at the JV level. Tualatin will be a legit state title contender for the next two seasons.    As referenced the last name speaks for itself with his brother committed to BYU. Keeney could be asked to step in and play as a sophomore which is a tough ask in the brutally tough TRL, but he is capable.    15.[player_tooltip player_id='2105997' first='Bertram' last='Latta'] 6-5 245 OL/DL Dallas   UPDATED: Latta has D1 size and had a breakout year for a solid Dallas program earning 2nd team all-conference honors at Tackle and honorable mention accolades at DE. From a recruitment standpoint a lot will depend on what he does over the off season.    16.[player_tooltip player_id='2106063' first='Rocco' last='Grady'] 6-4 220 OL Tualatin   UPDATED: Not a lot of people know about him yet, but they will. Rocco is the brother of 6-7 basketball standout Winters Grady now at Michigan. He did well in the playoffs against Jesuit and projects as a major D1 recruit with continued progression.    17.[player_tooltip player_id='1609760' first='Luke' last='Cutting'] 6-1 180 S/ATH West Linn   UPDATED: Cutting played on both sides of the ball, excelling at OLB/Strong Safety for the Lions. Look for him to be one of the better players in the TRL next season.   Cutting has looked good on film and on the camp circuit. He possesses legit size and looks to be one of the few West Linn sophomores who could start or be a key contributor for a loaded Lions group.    18.[player_tooltip player_id='1601596' first='Ashton' last='Randall'] 6-1 210 LB Estacada   UPDATED: Randall had a phenomenal sophomore season, earing 1st team all-conference and 3rd team all-state honors at LB. For the year he totaled 95 tackles, 13 TFL's, and 3 sacks, while also rushing for 9 TDs. He's not your normal small school athlete and will be a 4A POY favorite in the years ahead.    Randall plays with a no-nonsense demeanor and has the potential of being a 1st team all-conference LB as early as this season. Look for him to be one of the best at the 4A level and in the POY conversation for years to come.    19.[player_tooltip player_id='1609803' first='Justice' last='Edmiston'] 6-1 200 LB West Albany   UPDATED: Edmiston followed up a solid freshman season by earning honorable mention all Mid-Willamette honors. The Bulldogs finished (7-4) losing 14-13 to #1 ranked Summit in the state quarterfinals.   Watch the film as Edmiston had a phenomenal freshman season for the Bulldogs, making 27 tackles (4 per game) with 2 sacks. He will be listed among the NW's top 28' LB's.    20.[player_tooltip player_id='1126329' first='Luke' last='Bergmann'] 5-9 160 Slot/CB Tualatin   UPDATED: Bergmann missed his sophomore season due to injury but proved what he could do as a freshman at the Varsity level while still at Sunset. Look for him to be a key member of a top ranked T-Wolves program next year.    Bergmann made the transfer from Sunset after an outstanding All Metro season which saw him score 7 TDs with 18 total receptions. From a recruitment standpoint it's a size thing but he will be one of the best players in the state for his class.    21.[player_tooltip player_id='1076647' first='Kade' last='Laraway'] 5-9 180 RB/LB Mountainside   UPDATED: The undersized athlete was a beast for Mountainside as a sophomore, racking up 2nd team all-Metro honors at LB. I would expect him to be a key asset next season offensively, especially with the graduation of 1st team all-conference RB [player_tooltip player_id='1094961' first='Jordan' last='Hicks'].    Coming up through the youth ranks Laraway has dominated for the Mavericks. From a pure talent standpoint he will be one of the best in Oregon. It all comes down to continued growth from a projection standpoint.    22.[player_tooltip player_id='1956192' first='Jora' last='Atwal'] 6-4 195 DB/ATH La Salle    UPDATED: The 6-4 corner had a breakout sophomore year earning 1st team all-league and honorable mention all-state honors at the 5A level. For the season he made 14 tackles, with 4 INTs, and 3 PBU's to go with 28 receptions for 337 yards and 4 TDs offensively. It's a good move playing for an elite program like FSP.    23.[player_tooltip player_id='2105931' first='Max' last='Matijacic'] 6-1 225 OLB/DE Lake Oswego   UPDATED: The last name speaks volumes with his dad being one of the best players ever to come out of LO, before committing to Washington and finishing as a 1st team all Big Sky LB at PSU. Max had an outstanding sophomore year earning honorable mention all TRL honors for the state champs.    24.[player_tooltip player_id='1609795' first='Mikey' last='Covey'] 6-2 195 OLB Cascade Christian    UPDATED: Covey is a big physical athlete who can play on either side of the ball while projecting on D. He went for 691 total yards and 5 TD's and made 64 tackles with 15.5 TFL's and 5 sacks, helping his team to the 3A title. He was the only sophomore to earn 1st team all-state accolades.    One of the fastest rising small school athletes in the region. Covey had a phenomenal freshman season for the perennial 3A power, making 48 tackles with 7 TFL's and 3 TDs offensively. He was one of the only young guys to play in the Les Schwab Bowl.    25. [player_tooltip player_id='1612598' first='Quenton' last='Lake'] 6-4 195 QB North Salem   UPDATED: The 6-4 left hander threw for 15 TD's/6 INTs and 1,742 yards on 64% passing for what has been primarily a running team over the years. You have to like his ceiling and what he has done thus far.    Lake has looked good on the 7v7 circuit and has a ton of potential at 6-4 with a good arm. North is primarily a running team and has struggled overall going 1-8 last year. That will be the biggest hurdle.    #2
