Continue ReadingThe order referenced below of each athlete does not directly reflect his recruitment. You can be the #1 ranked player in the state and not be a Conference POY favorite. There are numerous variables which go into who is selected, including the team’s overall success. Have a look at who I would have as the Mt Hood’s leading candidates for POY heading into the season.
OFFENSE
1.
Luke Ash
Luke
Ash
5'9" | 170 lbs | RB
Tualatin | 2023
State
OR
23’ RB Clackamas- Ash sliced up opponents last Spring as a Sophomore, carrying the ball 99 times for 721 yards (7.2ypc) and 9 TDs in 6 games. You can expect him to get the ball 20+ times a game, running behind one of the best lines in the state.
2.
Riley Williams
Riley
Williams
6'7" | 230 lbs | TE
Central Catholic | 2023
OR
23’ TE/WR Central Catholic- If CC does this right Williams is somewhat indefensible. His ability to run after the catch is special as he could literally be offered by everyone before he is done.
3.
Miles Williams
Miles
Williams
6'0" | 180 lbs | WR
Clackamas | 2022
State
OR
22’ WR Clackamas- As noted Williams had a phenomenal summer and will be a primary target on a loaded team. His numbers should reflect a POY type season.
4.
Jordan King
Jordan
King
6'3" | 200 lbs | WR
Central Catholic | 2022
State
OR
22’ WR Central Catholic- I’m a huge advocate of King as I think his potential is through the roof. Few have more experience or snaps under his belt, winning a state title, and playing as a freshman on both sides of the football.
5.
Riley Peterson
Riley
Peterson
5'10" | 155 lbs | WR
La Salle | 2022
State
OR
22’ WR Clackamas- I think Peterson made a smart move with the transfer from La Salle. He would have dominated 5A competition and been bored. He should make a big splash and could be a state statistical leader.
