Players will only be listed on one side of the football and they can be from any class or classification level. Athletes currently playing out of state can be named as well. Have a look and stay tuned for part 2 with the defense tomorrow.
QB Brian Mannion Brian Mannion 6'3" | 180 lbs | QB Mountainside | 2022 State OR 6-2 180 Jr. Mountainside 3* – So talented I could see him being the 6A POY this season. He will hold double digit D1 offers before he is done from some of the top schools in America.
QB Drew Carter Drew Carter 6'3" | 185 lbs | QB Tigard | 2021 State OR 6-3 195 Sr. Tigard- 3* (COMMITTED: Colorado) One of the top dual sport athletes ever to come out of Oregon. Drew will be playing hoops for the CU as well, something very rare to say the least.
RB Gavin Haines Gavin Haines 6'0" | Wide Receiver Carl Albert | 2021 OK 6-1 200 Sr. West Linn 3* (OFFERS: Idaho St, Georgetown) My favorite to win 6A Offensive POY honors. Defensively he has some Brady Breeze type attributes but he is a 30 TD/2000+ yard back offensively
RB Damir Collins Damir Collins 5'9" | 190 lbs | RB Jefferson | 2021 State OR 5-9 190 Sr. Jefferson 4* (COMMITTED: Oregon St) One of the best kids you will ever meet and someone who could see the field early for the Beavers.
RB Nate Denney Nate Denney 5'10" | 195 lbs | RB Bend | 2021 OR 5-10 195 Sr. Bend 3* (COMMITTED: Yale) Currently playing his ball in Texas at Georgetown HS. The Ivy league got a steal as I truly believe Denney would have had a handful of mid-major D1 offers or higher.
WR Darrius Clemons Darrius Clemons 6'3" | 195 lbs | WR Westview | 2022 State OR 6-3 195 Jr. Westview 4* (OFFERS: Michigan, Oregon, Notre Dame, Stanford etc..) One of the most recruited WR’s in the nation for his class, holding 27 D1 offers. He is currently playing for Pleasant Grove HS in Utah and having a decent season
WR Trent Walker Trent Walker 6'3" | 190 lbs | WR Beaverton | 2021 State OR 6-3 190 Sr. Beaverton 3* (OFFERS: Army, Air Force, San Diego, Valpo) 2,360 all purpose yards and 23 TDs over the last two seasons. It obviously doesn’t help if he is playing the QB position but whatever is best for the team.
WR Miles Williams Miles Williams 6'0" | 180 lbs | WR Clackamas | 2022 State OR 6-0 170 Jr. Clackamas 3* (OFERS: Oregon St, Nevada) Expect a monster year from the underclassmen as Clack should return as one of the top teams in the state, led by an impressive 2022 class.
ATH Aaron Jones Aaron Jones 5'7" | 170 lbs | RB Jacksonville Bartram Trail | 2021 FL 5-10 180 Jr. Westview 3* (OFFERS: Oregon St, BYU, Nevada, Utah St) When healthy he is as good as anyone state wide. An absolute threat in space. Currently playing with Darrius Clemons Darrius Clemons 6'3" | 195 lbs | WR Westview | 2022 State OR at Pleasant Grove HS in Utah
TE Carson Cota Carson Cota 6'5" | 240 lbs | TE South Medford | 2021 State OR 6-4 240 Sr. South Medford 3* (OFFERS: Oregon, Georgia Tech, Utah St, New Mexico St) Everyone knows the name Cota. Brother Chase is a standout at UCLA and I could foresee Carson replicating some of those feats.
TE Joe MaQatish Joe MaQatish 6'8" | 245 lbs | TE Santiam | 2021 State OR 6-8 245 Sr. Santiam 2* (COMMITTED: Northern Arizona) Another kid who I think made a great decision with his commitment to NAU. The size speaks for itself as MaQatish could make an immediate impact in the Big Sky.
OL Holden Whipple Holden Whipple 6'4" | 285 lbs | OL West Salem | 2021 State OR 6-5 285 Sr. West Salem 2* (OFFERS: Northern Arizona, Georgetown) Watch this man play basketball and you will get a glimpse of his upside. He has the potential of being the best lineman out of Oregon for his class.
OL Zach Holmes Zach Holmes 6'3" | 285 lbs | OL West Linn | 2021 State OR 6-3 280 Sr. West Linn 2* (OFFERS: Air Force, Georgetown, Bucknell) Head coach Chris Miller raves about his ability. He is a legit (Guard) at the next level and someone who will only continue to get better.
OL Shane Schwake Shane Schwake 6'8" | 295 lbs | OL Sheldon | 2021 State OR 6-8 295 Sr. Sheldon 3* (COMMITTED: Eastern Washington) I think EWU got a big steal here. Schwake’s mobility and coordination for kid with his size is something you can’t teach. Expect him to be a 3 year starter and one of the best in the Big Sky.
OL Charlie Pickard Charlie Pickard 6'5" | 290 lbs | OL Jesuit | 2021 State OR 6-5 290 Sr. Jesuit 3* (OFFERS: San Jose St, N.Arizona Eastern Wash, Idaho, Air Force) Charlie’s stock is rising quickly, working with two of the top line coaches anywhere in Line Pro’s Alex Linnenkohl and John Andreas (Jesuit).
OL Liam Brown Liam Brown 6'5" | 280 lbs | DL Sunset | 2021 State OR 6-5 280 Sr. Sunset 2* (OFFERS: Idaho, Montana, Portland St, Sac St) Another kid who could blow up with continued progression. Brown shows off his versatility on defense and could potentially add a few mid major’s or even a PAC 12 type offer
C Henry Buckles Henry Buckles 6'3" | 280 lbs | OL Hood River | 2021 State OR 6-3 275 Sr. Hood River 3* (COMMITTED: Oregon St) The “mayor” of Hood River is also a phenomenal track and field athlete. A lot of credit to Buckles who got an early offer from the Beavers and jumped on it.
