3.Donald Stephens Jr. 6-0 200 RB Grant- I’m a big advocate of Stephens. Watching his varsity freshman film he looked light years ahead of his peers. Expect him to have a monster Junior campaign.

6'0" | 200 lbs | LB Grant | 2023StateOR
6-0 200 LB Grant- As noted numerous times Moses was one of only two athletes to earn all-conference accolades as a freshman at the 6A level. From a projection standpoint the 3* recruit is one of the top overall athletes in Oregon. What level he ends up at will depend on his continued progression.
