Isaiah Rickard Isaiah Rickard 6'2" | 205 lbs | LB Franklin | 2021 State OR DB/ATH Franklin 21’- One of the big reasons the Quakers are (4-0) is because of Rickard. His 2 INTs on D and 2 touchdown receptions on offense were crucial, in the teams 23-8 win over Roosevelt.

Ryan Oliver Ryan Oliver 6'3" | 195 lbs | QB Lakeridge | 2023 State OR QB Lakeridge 23’- As of right now Oliver might be Oregon’s Sophomore of the year. He passed for another 316 yards and 5 TDs in the teams 34-17 win over traditional state power Tigard.
Michael Rincon Michael Rincon 5'10" | 180 lbs | RB Jesuit | 2022 State OR RB Jesuit 22’- Rincon has quietly put together an outstanding season, carrying the ball 30 times for 222 yards and 2 TDs, in a much needed 20-14 OT win over one of Oregon’s best in Mountainside.

Miles Wilson Miles Wilson 5'10" | 195 lbs | RB Reynolds | 2021 State OR RB Reynolds 21’- One of Oregon’s most underrated players. He will go down as one of the best to ever play at RHS. On the night he rushed for 204 yards and 3 TDs in the 43-32 win over Sandy.
Nate Garcia Nate Garcia 5'11" | 185 lbs | DB West Salem | 2021 State OR RB West Salem 21’ – The Titans are undefeated and have one of the more legit senior groups to come through the school in some time. The 2nd team all-league returner rushed for 240 yards and 2 TDs in the 28-20 win over McNary.
Dante Haven WR Grants Pass 21’ – Give Western Oregon a lot of credit for landing kids like this. Haven caught 8 passes for 204 Yards and 3 TDs, in the teams 56-55 loss to South Medford in 3 OT’s.
Josiah Davis RB N.Salem 23’- The Vikings football program has struggled over the years but that could be changing with the likes of Davis and freshman phenom TC Manumaleuna. The Sophomore RB scored 5 TDs with a reception and a kick return for a TD as well, in the 41-30 win over South Salem.
