I’m surprised Oregon St hasn’t come with an offer yet, as he will have most of the Pac 12 when all is said and done. Kaden will have additional film shortly with the spring season getting under way. Expect him to dominate on the defense side of the ball and require a consistent double team if they want to have any chance of containing him.
2. Andrew Savaiinaea Andrew Savaiinaea 6'3" | 265 lbs | DL The Dalles | 2022 OR 6-3 245 OLB/DE 22’ The Dalles- OFFERS: UCLA, Oregon, Oregon St, Cal, Wash St Savaiinaea has added five PAC 12 offers in the last few months. He was one of the top players in Washington playing for state power Eastside Catholic as a Sophomore. It will almost be unfair for opponents who have to play against him in Oregon at the 5A level. He will be an absolute disrupter.
3.Jayden Fortier 6-4 185 WR 24’ Tualatin- PROJECTION: 4 or 5* One of the most offered players in the country for his class Fortier could potentially land his first Major D1 offer before playing a HS football game. He is that talented. Expect him to be one of the most offered athletes in state history.
4. Brian Mannion Brian Mannion 6'3" | 180 lbs | QB Mountainside | 2022 State OR 6-3 190 QB 22’ Mountainside- PROJECTION: Currently a 3*, probably a 4* WARM: Colorado, Oregon St, Cal As stated numerous times once Mannion adds some additional film he will blow up. Everyone is familiar with the last name, with his 6-6 brother Sean Mannion spending the last 1/2 decade in the NFL. Brian possesses traits you can’t teach.
5. Sam Leavitt Sam Leavitt 6'2" | 200 lbs | QB West Linn | 2023 State OR 6-1 190 QB 23’ Westview-PROJECTION: 3 or 4* Major D1 talent Much like Mannion, Leavitt has NFL genes with his brother Dallin spending the last three years playing for the Raiders. Sam currently ranks as the #1 recruit in the state and has some of that “It” factor. He should absolutely torch secondaries his final two seasons at Westview with the likes of Darrius Clemons Darrius Clemons 6'3" | 195 lbs | WR Westview | 2022 State OR and Kaden Huppin Kaden Huppin 6'0" | 185 lbs | ATH Westview | 2023 State OR on the receiving end.
6.Donald Stephens Jr. 6-0 200 RB 23’ Grant- PROJECTION: 3 or 4* Major D1 talent Not a lot people know about him yet, only playing 3 Varsity games due to injury as a freshman. That said as he is special. Watch his film and you see a kid who is light years ahead of his peers. He could be one of the best backs to come out of Oregon in some time.
7. Demarcus Houston Demarcus Houston 6'2" | 185 lbs | ATH West Albany | 2023 State OR 6-2 185 WR 23’ West Albany OFFERS: Oregon St It won’t be long before Houston adds additional D1 offers. His stock has shot through the roof in recent months, impressing on the national camp circuit, and as part of FSP – one of the top 7v7 programs in the nation.
8. Malik Ross Malik Ross 6'0" | 190 lbs | ATH Tualatin | 2022 State OR 6-0 190 ATH 22’ Tualatin- PROJECTION 3* D1 Ross is a phenomenal overall athlete, and one of the state’s top hoopers. If he was solely focused on football he would already have multiple offers. Ross will be a TRL POY candidate on both sides of the football.
9. Cole Prusia Cole Prusia 6'3" | 190 lbs | DB Tualatin | 2022 State OR 6-3 190 WR/DB 22’ Tualatin PROJECTION 3* D1 Not sure if people are aware of how good he truly is. Cole is equally talented on both sides of the football. Look for him to dominate during this modified spring season and blow up on the recruiting front this summer.
10. Slade Shufelt Slade Shufelt 6'2" | 200 lbs | LB Hillsboro | 2021 State OR 6-2 220 WLB 21’ Hillsboro PROJECTION 3* D1 People are just missing on Slade. Whoever lands him will get the steal of the year. From a testing standpoint he is a freak, having maybe the best-off season of any athlete state wide. Expect him to be a 5A POY favorite.
