Oregon 6A Preseason All State 1st + 2nd Team "O"

Per usual, the Preseason All-State teams will be heavily influenced by projected team success and not just recruitment of the player. If your team doesn't win, it will be extremely difficult to earn all state accolades. If you are an individual who racks up all state honors even without your program winning, that's an impressive feat. Have a look..          *All teams are selected in collaboration with Andrew Nemec          1ST TEAM   QB [player_tooltip player_id='937233' first='Sloan' last='Baker'] 27' West Linn   QB [player_tooltip player_id='904208' first='Zeke' last='Thomas'] 28' Willamette   RB [player_tooltip player_id='1609595' first='Iden' last='Rule'] 28' Tualatin    RB [player_tooltip player_id='1591586' first='Luke' last='Ortner'] 27' Jesuit    RB [player_tooltip player_id='1125493' first='Reece' last='Ballew'] 27' Mountainside    WR [player_tooltip player_id='937176' first='Malachi' last='Garlington'] 27' Nelson    WR [player_tooltip player_id='1560665' first='Brevik' last='Hill'] 27' Grants Pass    WR [player_tooltip player_id='1369697' first='Talon' last='Sosky'] 27' Central Catholic   ATH [player_tooltip player_id='937241' first='Cole' last='Hachmeister'] 27' Tualatin    ATH [player_tooltip player_id='632957' first='Josiah' last='Molden'] 27' West Linn    TE [player_tooltip player_id='1609596' first='Brady' last='Knips'] 28' Tualatin    TE [player_tooltip player_id='1613644' first='Presley' last='DeLance'] 28' Lake Oswego   OL [player_tooltip player_id='937311' first='Alexander' last='Mishkin'] 27' West Linn   OL [player_tooltip player_id='937240' first='Isaiah' last='Ormond'] 27' Tualatin   OL [player_tooltip player_id='1654734' first='PJ' last='Tautu'] 28' Central Catholic    OL [player_tooltip player_id='1359160' first='Dylan' last='Marquez'] 27' Lake Oswego    OL [player_tooltip player_id='936855' first='Nate' last='Peau'] 27' Central Catholic    OL [player_tooltip player_id='2054690' first='Grady' last='Hall'] 27' West Linn         2ND TEAM     QB [player_tooltip player_id='796694' first='Jordan' last='Rossetta'] 27' Grants Pass   QB [player_tooltip player_id='1614894' first='Lincoln' last='Keeney'] 28' Tualatin    RB [player_tooltip player_id='937113' first='Shane' last='Peters'] 27' West Linn   RB [player_tooltip player_id='1609659' first='Cohen' last='Bissell'] 28' West Linn    RB [player_tooltip player_id='1569379' first='Treyton' last='Powers'] 27' Grants Pass   RB [player_tooltip player_id='1924374' first='Zuzi' last='Alwineyan'] 27' Willamette    RB [player_tooltip player_id='2127746' first='Jonny' last='Jenkins'] 29' Willamette    WR [player_tooltip player_id='936920' first='Jasiah' last='Agnimel'] 27' Lake Oswego    WR [player_tooltip player_id='1125042' first='Barry' last='Myles'] 27' Sheldon   WR [player_tooltip player_id='1121755' first='Tyson' last='Donnerberg'] 27' West Linn   WR [player_tooltip player_id='1609636' first='Brock' last='Estes'] 28' Tualatin    WR [player_tooltip player_id='1121756' first='Ashden' last='Marquis'] 27' West Linn    ATH [player_tooltip player_id='1425922' first='Tahkai' last='Smith'] 28' Westview    ATH [player_tooltip player_id='1609760' first='Luke' last='Cutting'] 28' West Linn    ATH [player_tooltip player_id='935448' first='Colin' last='Smith'] 27' Oregon City    ATH [player_tooltip player_id='1119890' first='Greyson' last='Murff'] 27' Lincoln   TE [player_tooltip player_id='1609788' first='Knox' last='Smith'] 28' Willamette    TE [player_tooltip player_id='1242768' first='George' last='VanSandt'] 27' Central Catholic   OL [player_tooltip player_id='2106065' first='Mason' last='Powarczuk'] 28' Tualatin    OL [player_tooltip player_id='1358907' first='Alex' last='Lydgate'] 27[ Lincoln   OL [player_tooltip player_id='2106063' first='Rocco' last='Grady'] 28' Tualatin    OL [player_tooltip player_id='2054700' first='Ethan' last='Tatum'] 27' West Salem   OL [player_tooltip player_id='1591863' first='Brock' last='Sahlfeld'] 27 Glencoe         SUMMARY: I like reigning TRL Offensive POY [player_tooltip player_id='937233' first='Sloan' last='Baker'] to once again have a big season as #1 West Linn has weapons everywhere. He will thrive because of it. Boise St commit and fellow QB [player_tooltip player_id='904208' first='Zeke' last='Thomas'] has physically matured and really come into his own. Expect Willamette to have a big year and make a run come playoff time. He went for 3000+ total yards and 35 TDs/8 INTs in 2025.    Most are aware of the three headed monster that is the Tualatin RB group. [player_tooltip player_id='1609595' first='Iden' last='Rule'] and [player_tooltip player_id='937241' first='Cole' last='Hachmeister'] will both be 1st team all-state projected athletes with Rule being a 6A POY favorite in my opinion. The D1 offered Hachmeister is more of a receiving back and will be tough for anyone to stop in space. Sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='2079648' first='Easton' last='Grubb'] is the other individual who is special. He is one of the best in Oregon for his class, but it might be tough to put up big numbers with three top backs.    Expect speedster [player_tooltip player_id='1125493' first='Reece' last='Ballew'] to blow up as a senior. His 10.7 100 meters speaks for itself and he could very well go for 2000+ yards and compete with [player_tooltip player_id='1591586' first='Luke' last='Ortner'] for Metro POY honors this coming season. As most know, Ortner broke numerous records last year with 2200+ yards and 23 TD's. The biggest question comes with the graduation of his O line which was incredibly talented and could affect his game.    Oregon commit [player_tooltip player_id='937176' first='Malachi' last='Garlington'] had a phenomenal junior year with 20+ TDs but Nelson loses Mt Hood Offensive POY Danny Leary at QB to graduation, so questions remain on the potential loss of production. [player_tooltip player_id='1560665' first='Brevik' last='Hill'] of GP returns after garnering South Central Conference POY honors last season. He should kill it with [player_tooltip player_id='796694' first='Jordan' last='Rossetta'] back at quarterback. [player_tooltip player_id='1369697' first='Talon' last='Sosky'] of Central Catholic has one of the fastest rising stocks in the region. Whoever is QBing the CC squad should be able to hit him 50+ times reception wise.    Look for All American DB [player_tooltip player_id='632957' first='Josiah' last='Molden'], one of Oregon's best players ever, to have an insane year on the offensive side of the ball. As long as he stays healthy, he should be their top offensive athlete also.    The TE spot is interesting with the position being loaded from a prospect standpoint, but a lot yet to be determined. As referenced I think [player_tooltip player_id='1609596' first='Brady' last='Knips'] of Tualatin is a double digit D1 offer athlete and could catch 10 TDs from Keeney this year. Both [player_tooltip player_id='1613644' first='Presley' last='DeLance'] and [player_tooltip player_id='936920' first='Jasiah' last='Agnimel'] are major D1 recruits but the question becomes who distributes the ball to them with QB Hudson Kurland headed to Iowa St after winning last year's state title.    The offensive line will be the strength of the Central Catholic Rams team this coming year. They lose a ton of talent on the perimeter but return two of the top prospects in the NW in [player_tooltip player_id='1654734' first='PJ' last='Tautu'] and [player_tooltip player_id='936855' first='Nate' last='Peau']. 2028 #1 recruit Tautu has blown up after earning 1st team honors as a sophomore and landing offers from the likes of Auburn, Utah, Washington, Arizona, and Arizona St.   Other 1st team O line guys include [player_tooltip player_id='937240' first='Isaiah' last='Ormond'] who will project on D, and has been the most dominant player this offseason, earning MVP honors at the Northwest Showcase, the largest event on the west coast. [player_tooltip player_id='937311' first='Alexander' last='Mishkin'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2054690' first='Grady' last='Hall'] racked up 1st team all TRL honors last year and will lead a solid #1 West Linn Group, with 6-4 280-pound [player_tooltip player_id='1359160' first='Dylan' last='Marquez'] being a kid who has all the tools to anchor the offensive line for the reigning state champs.
