Lincoln Highschool | 2022
OR
, LB, 6’4″ 215lbs, Lincoln 
Another Lincoln kid who started his recruitment, Kopetz picked up his first offer from Idaho State back in April. I was highly impressed with his film, as he projects to be a legit FBS level talent. Excellent size and build and is trending in the direction of a complete LB. Excellent instincts, strong at the POA, eats up ground quick, and shows a big striking ability. He’s a quick and flexible as a pass rusher with good bend on the edges. Extremely athletic kid all around and is only getting started, as he deserves to see a major rise in his recruitment.

Clackamas | 2022

, OL, 6’6″ 270lbs, Clackamas
Casey picked up his first offer today from Oregon State, which could very well be the start of many offers to flood in. Casey sizes up with excellent size and a thick base, and fits the prototype for a P5 OT. Excellent athleticism all across the board and plays with aggressiveness. He displays quick and agile feet to reach quicker pass rushers and holds ground well in a pass set. He holds a very high ceiling with numerous intangibles, and will be an intriguing recruit to follow.
