His speed and overall coordination make him a viable blindside tackle at the D1 level. 2.[player_tooltip player_id="28892" first="Kage" last="Casey"] 6-6 265 T Clackamas- One of the fastest rising players in the state of Oregon. He is aggressive and possesses quick feet and the necessary tools to play at the highest level. 3.[player_tooltip player_id="143904" first="Justin" last="Parnell"] 6-4 285 T Dallas- Parnell dominated 5A competition and didn’t give up a sack during the spring season. He projects at the D1 level and is also one of the state’s top throwers in track. 4.[player_tooltip player_id="108136" first="Melikiola" last="Kingston Penitoa"] 6-3 310 G Jefferson- Moves very well for a 300 pounder. He is quick on his feet and finishes blocks. He will be the key for the Demo’s up front if they want to control the game running the ball. 5.[player_tooltip player_id="28890" first="Austin" last="Leykam"] 6-2 265 C Lake Oswego- Leykam will be a three-year starter in the state’s toughest conference. Fundamentally he may be the most impressive O lineman in the state, projecting at center. [player_tooltip player_id="108152" first="Myale" last="Jones"] 6-5 320 T Central Catholic- Jones had an outstanding Junior year. From a mobility standpoint there is work to do, but the potential is there. &nbsp; <strong>DL</strong> 1.[player_tooltip player_id="28840" first="Kaden" last="Ludwick"] 6-5 245 DE Clackamas <strong>OFFERS: Colorado, Washington St, Nevada, Idaho-</strong> As stated numerous times already, Ludwick could end up as the top player in the 2022 class collegiately. He has D1 genes and the necessary size and speed to be one of the top players in the PAC-12 in my opinion. 2.[player_tooltip player_id="107623" first="Andrew" last="Savaiinaea"] 6-3 265 DE The Dalles <strong>OFFERS: Oregon, UCLA, Nebraska, Oregon St, Washington St, Cal-</strong> Savaiinaea broke out as a Sophomore putting together some dominant film while playing for Washington power Eastside Catholic. He’s a great kid with the physicality to play at the highest level. 3.[player_tooltip player_id="28835" first="Emar’rion" last="Winston"] 6-3 245 DE Central Catholic <strong>COMMITTED: Oregon-</strong> Most are familiar with the name with both of his brothers playing in the PAC 12 (Oregon, USC). The talent is there. It will come down to what he does with it. 4.[player_tooltip player_id="28870" first="Kaden" last="Schell"] 6-4 240 DE Central Catholic- Schell’s stock has continued to rise, as he is equally talented on both sides of the football. At times he has shown flashes similar to former CC line standout Connor Humphreys (Arizona St). 5.[player_tooltip player_id="28861" first="Logan" last="Chastain"] 6-0 275 DT Clackamas- Chastain earned 1st team all-league honors as a Sophomore and continued his success on the interior this Spring. He is one of the NW’s strongest athletes and has the potential of doing well collegiately. 6.[player_tooltip player_id="28847" first="Kale" last="Paslay"] 6-3 280 DT Marist- What will be a three-year starter and a conference and 4A POY candidate. Paslay’s a tough kid who can play on either side of the ball, projecting on D. 7.[player_tooltip player_id="108155" first="Ryan" last="Dring"] 6-3 225 DE Willamette- Dring had an outstanding Junior year and will be in the conversation if we are talking on 5A Oregon’s top defensive athletes. 8.[player_tooltip player_id="28883" first="Braden" last="Rohde"] 6-3 240 DL Churchill- Braden caused problems on the interior for opponents all year long. He earned 1st team all-conference honors, and will be a three-year starter, for what should be one of the better 5A teams in the state next season. 9.[player_tooltip player_id="28869" first="Leif" last="Beers"] 6-4 265 DT Tigard- This is still and wait and see, but Beers has the size and potential to be a guy within the TRL and beyond. Look for him to be one of Oregon’s breakout performers this fall. 10.[player_tooltip player_id="145316" first="Dominick" last="Menegas"] 6-3 260 DT Southridge- Menegas is a good overall athlete. He put together a nice junior season with legit film, where he was able to show off his fluidity. &nbsp;
