<p><strong>Here we breakdown the classes of 2027, 28, and 29' in the states of Oregon and Washington, ranking the top 100 prospects in the region. Much of this list will be based on projection with some of the athletes still being so young. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>It's important to note this takes into account six different classes, so essentially you could be a top 10-15 guy within your state, which would put you roughly in the top 100 on this list. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Offers and commitments have been updated below. You can expect many of the individuals listed from #51-100 to be landing their first D1 offer or adding to the ones they already have in the coming weeks & months. </strong></p>

<p>76.[player_tooltip player_id='1599614' first='Ben' last='Rainwater'] 6-6 280 T 27' Inglemoor WA <strong>OFFERS (5) Boise St, San Jose St, New Mexico, Montana St</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: The big man had a nice year allowing 0 sacks and finishing with 90 pancake blocks offensively. He did well on D also making 27 tackles with 5 sacks. Rainwater is definitely making his presence known on the camp circuit. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Rainwater earned 2nd team all-league honors on the offensive front and also did well on D. He has the necessary size to play a high level of collegiate ball but will need to put together some dominant film this coming season.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>77.[player_tooltip player_id='1335622' first='Mekhi' last='Fields'] 5-11 180 DB 28' Rainier Beach WA<strong> OFFERS (1) Sacramento St</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Just a very good overall football player. Fields was a 1st team all-Metro selection at Safety as a sophomore, making 54 tackles with 7 TFL's and 5 PBU's. He allowed zero TDs from his secondary spot on the year and can play the CB/S position equally well. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Fields was a 2nd team all-Metro selection as a freshman and backed up his play this off season both in the weightroom (500+ pound squat) and on the 7v7 circuit. He will likely be a double digit D1 offered athlete. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>78.[player_tooltip player_id='1555731' first='Jason' last='Armbruster'] 6-4 225 OLB 27' Mount Si WA</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Armbruster makes a jump up the rankings board, racking up 1<sup>st</sup> team all-league honors with 34 tackles, 11 TFL's, and 5 sacks. He has the potential of being a legit FCS/Mid Major type guy. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Armbruster made 41 tackles, with 3 sacks, and 5 tackles for loss, in 8 games as a sophomore. I could see him jumping up this list quickly with a good junior year as he has the size and all the intangibles. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>79.[player_tooltip player_id='935357' first='Josiah' last='Hawkins'] 5-10 175 ATH 27' Cascade OR</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Hawkins had a dominant year earning 1<sup>st</sup> team all-state honors on both sides of the football while helping his team to the 4A title. Offensively he had 30 catches for 624 yards and 12 TDs, to go with 42 tackles, 8 PBU's, and 5 INTs on D. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hawkins is another kid who killed it at the Northwest Showcase. He will be a potential 1<sup>st</sup> team all-state kid on both sides of the football, with Cascade being a 4A title favorite. He earned 2nd team all-state honors at DB last year. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>80. [player_tooltip player_id='2079648' first='Easton' last='Grubb'] 5-11 185 RB 29' Tualatin OR</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Grubb is just a different type of athlete. He is a likely Oregon 6A POY before he's done. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>This kid was a machine putting up some of the most ridiculous numbers anywhere, even if it was freshman ball. Grubb's 41 TD's and 3100 all purpose yards were likely a record at that level. Him, [player_tooltip player_id='1609595' first='Iden' last='Rule'], and [player_tooltip player_id='937241' first='Cole' last='Hachmeister'] give the T-Wolves a trio of backs unlike any other in the state. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>81.[player_tooltip player_id='1397322' first='Marquis' last='Tovia'] 6-3 185 DB/ATH 29' Chief Sealth WA</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: The 1st team all-league WR averaged 15 yards per catch as a freshman and is equally talented on the defensive side of the ball. He projects as a double digit D1 offer athlete and someone that provides universities options with his versatility. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>82.[player_tooltip player_id='1530872' first='Jordan' last='Noel'] 5-10 165 ATH 27' Kennedy Catholic WA <strong>OFFERS (2) Sacramento St, Portland St</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Easily one of the most versatile kids in Washington. Jordy showed off his 4.43 speed by earning 1<sup>st</sup> team all-conference honors at DB and 2<sup>nd</sup> team WR accolades. He totaled 908 all-purpose yards with 11 TDs to go with 4 INTs and 8 PBU's on D. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>83.[player_tooltip player_id='2133898' first='Rayden' last='Shanks'] 6-4 185 LB 29' Bethel WA</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Shanks was a 2nd team all-conference LB as a freshman in the brutally tough SPSL which speaks to his game. He's long with the ability to add some significant size to his frame. Bethel continues to produce major D1 LB prospects like Zaydrius Rainey-Sale and [player_tooltip player_id='1655930' first='Ramzak' last='Fruean']. He has that type of potential </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>84.[player_tooltip player_id='937241' first='Cole' last='Hachmeister'] 5-9 170 ATH 27' Tualatin OR</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: In only 5 games played due to injury, Hachmeister went off again with 87 touches for 881 total yards and 9 TD's, averaging 9.2 yards per carry in the NW's toughest conference. He currently projects as a D1 FCS back. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hachmeister made one of the biggest jumps of any player in Oregon up the rankings board. He has elite D1 speed, going for 1,012 all-purpose yards (752 rushing, 8.8 ypc) and 13 TDs in 10 games, in the state's toughest conference. He is the exception to the rule from a size standpoint. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>85.[player_tooltip player_id='584671' first='Julius' last='Hernandez-Avila'] 6-2 225 DE 27' Graham Kapowsin WA</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: The SPSL Defensive Player of the Year also earned 1<sup>st</sup> team all state honors and left no doubt after making the move from 1A Life Christian to GK. He finished the season with 75 tackles and 4 sacks. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I like the move with Hernandez-Avila going from Life Christian Academy where he dominated (51 tackles, 16 sacks, and 28 tackles for loss) to 4A contender GK. He will be challenged and able to show what he can do against the state's top competition. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>86.[player_tooltip player_id='937338' first='Cash' last='Wilks'] 6-2 220 LB 27' Lake Oswego OR</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: One of the fastest rising recruits in Oregon. Wilks earned 1<sup>st</sup> team all TRL and 1<sup>st</sup> team all-state honors, while helping the Lakers to a 6A title. Credit to him for backing up all the hype that goes with having D1 genes and a high-profile status. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>87.[player_tooltip player_id='1609764' first='Sam' last='Robbins'] 6-5 190 TE/OLB 28' Valley Catholic OR</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>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. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>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. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>88.[player_tooltip player_id='1369680' first='Dalton' last='Stevens'] 6-3 285 G 27' Mark Morris WA</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: I really like Stevens and what he brings to the table. He is 3x all league, all region lineman who has allowed only 1 1/2 sacks over the last three seasons. I see him as a D1 FCS interior guy. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Stevens has had a great offseason on the camp circuit, after breaking out as a freshman and earning 1st team all-conference honors as a sophomore. Fundamentally there are few who are better within the region.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>89.[player_tooltip player_id='1969013' first='Blake' last='Moser'] 6-0 165 QB 27' Lake Stevens WA</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Moser destroyed the competition this past season, helping his team to the state title game while passing for 3,462 yards and 55 TD's. He earned 1<sup>st</sup> team all state honors and is a multi-sport standout (baseball.) </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>90.[player_tooltip player_id='1659062' first='Parker' last='Stewart'] 6-4 225 OL/DE 27' Kelso WA</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Stewart had a breakout year on the defensive side of the ball, racking up 1<sup>st</sup> team all GSHL accolades. His quickness and ability to maneuver coming off the edge will make him a viable recruit at the D1 level.</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>You have to like the genes with his 6-7 brother Payton Stewart playing on the offensive line at Michigan St. Parker did well as a sophomore earning 2nd team all GSHL honors. His projection will depend on continued growth and what type of film he puts together as a junior. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>91.[player_tooltip player_id='1593163' first='Ben' last='Goalen'] 6-4 265 T 27' Summit OR</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: One of the region's breakout lineman. Goalen has D1 size and made a statement as a junior earning 1<sup>st</sup> team all-conference and 1<sup>st</sup> team all-state honors, helping his team to 5A title game. His film speaks to his potential and overall ceiling. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>92. [player_tooltip player_id='1558034' first='Zane' last='Zellick'] 6-0 170 RB/ATH 29' West Linn OR</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Zellick "was a man amongst boys" running the ball this past season at the lower level. He could be a legit contributor as a sophomore for a loaded Lions group who will be a 6A title favorite. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the most talked about athletes in the 2026 class. Zellick has D1 genes and comes with a legit combination of size and speed. Expect him to score a bunch of TDs for the Lions over the course of his career. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>93.[player_tooltip player_id='2054681' first='Oliver' last='Holverson'] 6-5 230 TE/DE 27' Jesuit OR</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: The 6-5 Holverson was one of the only players at the 6A level to earn 1st team all conference honors on both sides of the football. He was relatively unknown heading into the year and now ranks among the state's best. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>94.[player_tooltip player_id='796694' first='Jordan' last='Rossetta'] 6-5 215 QB 27' Grants Pass OR</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Rossetta had another impressive year, being named a unanimous 1<sup>st</sup> team all-conference and honorable mention all-state selection. He hit on 65% of his passes for 2400 yards and 25 TD's/6 INT's. From a recruitment standpoint a lot will depend on what he does this off season against top competition. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>What GP record didn't this kid break last year? Rossetta earned 1st team all-league honors finishing 1st in the state in passing yards (2,728) and 2nd in passing TDs (34), while setting 6 school records. The Cavemen have an elite 2027 class and should compete for a conference title this season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>95. [player_tooltip player_id='2129840' first='Laikyn' last='Donnelly'] 6-5 225 TE/DE 29' West Salem OR</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Donnelly played varsity basketball as a freshman and has the potential of being a major D1 recruit on the football field. Head coach Shawn Stanley has had numerous elite prospects come through his program, and he will be another one. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>96.[player_tooltip player_id='1609788' first='Knox' last='Smith'] 6-3 185 WR 28' Willamette OR</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>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. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>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. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>97. [player_tooltip player_id='1509111' first='Jagger' last='Salazar'] 6-2 175 WR 29' Lakeridge OR</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Salazar played some varsity ball as a freshman and has many of the intangibles necessary to project as a P4 athlete. He is one to watch on the camp circuit when he gets back from injury. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Just a really good overall athlete with size and speed. Salazar is another individual who comes from a special family with D1 genes. He is the grandson of Boston Marathon winner Alberto Salazar. Look for him to be a factor next season at Lakeridge. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>98.[player_tooltip player_id='1358896' first='Andrew' last='Guthrie'] 6-4 210 QB 27' Summit OR</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: The IMC Offensive POY. Guthrie had a phenomenal 2025 campaign earning 1<sup>st</sup> team all-state accolades, while passing for 1,546 yards and 18 TD's/2 INTs during the regular season, and helping his team to the 5A state title game. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>You have to like the kid out of Central Oregon. Summit will be a 5A title contender the next two seasons led by Guthrie. He had a good sophomore campaign, totaling 1700+ yards and 23 TDs (19 passing, 4 rushing). I would expect him to destroy those numbers this year. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>99.[player_tooltip player_id='1715759' first='Jackson' last='Ingram'] 6-6 210 TE/DE 27' South Eugene OR</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Give a lot of credit to Ingram for enduring the struggles at South with the team going 0-16 over the last two seasons. He is a legit D1 prospect who could climb the rankings board quickly if he gets out on the camp circuit. He earned 2<sup>nd</sup> team all-league honors at TE which is incredible considering the situation. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>100.[player_tooltip player_id='1807588' first='Kyran' last='Sessoms'] 6-2 195 OLB/WR 28' Lakes WA</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: One of Washington's breakout sophomores. Sessoms continues to turn heads on the camp circuit after a 2nd team all-league season at OLB/DE for Lakes, where he made 29 tackles with 10 TFL's and 5 sacks. If he can add on to his frame, the sky's the limit. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>100.[player_tooltip player_id='570837' first='Jagger' last='McEwen'] 6-3 175 QB 29' Kamiakin WA</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: McEwen has the prototypical size and the mindset to play big time college football with continued progression. He has been doing well for Team Lillard. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The young QB didn't miss a beat as a freshman hitting on 100/177 passes for 1,658 yards and 21 TDs/8 INTs at the varsity level. Expect to hear a lot about him in the years ahead after leading his team to a 9-3 record. </p>
