QB 2021 Brayden Libby (Westview): Libby was extremely accurate at the Best Coast Showcase Las Vegas and showed why he is a name to look out for in the Northwest. He has good footwork to go with a strong arm. As he puts on weight Libby will continue to grow as a passer, stock on the rise.
ATH 2021 Clay Masters Clay Masters 5'11" | 190 lbs | DB West Linn | 2021 State OR (West Linn): Masters is an extremely versatile key piece on one of the state’s top teams in West Linn. Masters does everything with ease and could be one of the top WR in the state of Oregon during his senior season. An outstanding athlete with elite work ethic, we like him on either side of the ball at the collegiate level.
2021 OL/DL Jonah Hayes Jonah Hayes 6'4" | 300 lbs | DL Jefferson | 2021 OR (Jefferson): The 6-4, 300 two way lineman does not look like he is going to stop growing anytime soon.

2021 ATH Slade Shufelt Slade Shufelt 6'2" | 200 lbs | LB Hillsboro | 2021 State OR (Hillsboro): The 6-3, 200 prospect out of Hillsboro is an extremely intriguing under the radar prospect. One of the most impressive players physically in attendance, Slade has outstanding athletic ability to go with his massive frame. As a RB, he could be one of the state’s top rushers next season while also receiving strong college interest as an edge rusher.
2022 WR/ATH Austin Ratliff (Silverton): The 6-3, 195 athlete was all-league as a sophomore on one of the state’s top teams. Austin shines on either side of the ball with his ball skills, frame and speed. He was one of the top 2022 WR’s we saw at either camp and his recruiting stock should explode after his junior season.
2021 OL/DL Zach Holmes Zach Holmes 6'3" | 285 lbs | OL West Linn | 2021 State OR (West Linn): Explosive interior lineman Holmes was among one of the brightest performers in the line group. Excellent feet, hand usage and strength, at 6-3, 285 Holmes already holds multiple offers and is closing in on his first Power 5 offer.
2022 WR/ATH Ryan LaPerle (Beaverton): Outstanding hands and route running, LaPerle looks to crack into the Beaverton lineup this season with his ability to get open. Working out amongst some of the top WR in the nation, LaPerle fit in as he will put on weight and grow into his 6-0 frame. Has the ability to make off-balance in traffic catches with ease.

2023 WR Tini Tinitali (South Salem): One of the top overall 2023 WR’s in attendance at either camp, Tini is an exciting two-way player out of South Salem. Excellent route running and hands for the young prospect. He shined in a group full of older elite WR’s. Look for his recruiting stock to blow up as he could end up being 6-2, 6-3 200+ pounds as a senior.
2021 QB Jack Artman Jack Artman 6'3" | 195 lbs | QB Clackamas | 2021 State OR (Clackamas): Artman was throwing darts at the Las Vegas showcase competing against some of the Top QB’s in the region. Has elite accuracy and really good footwork. Artman will lead the Cavaliers offense in 2021 which should be one of the most explosive in the region.
2021 QB Blake DeBisschop Blake DeBisschop 6'3" | 175 lbs | QB West Linn | 2021 State OR (West Linn): One of the top QB’s in attendance 2 years in a row, Blake’s stock continues to rise as he takes full advantage of the camp and off-season circuit. At 6-4, Blake throws a beautiful ball and will have the luxury of playing under elite coach Chris Miller for his senior season at West Linn. Huge upside for the 2021 prospect.
