OFFENSE:
1. Jake Lacoste 5-10 190 Jr. RB West Albany – The junior running back isn’t just a good 5a Oregon athlete, he’s a legit D1 back that you just don’t see very often..

Jake broke the All Time single game rushing record as a sophomore (508) before Tyner shattered it this year. He has carried the ball 177 times for 1689 yards and 26 total Tds, averaging 9.5 ypc. The kid is nasty and extremely humble.

6.

7. Josh Harper 6-5 185 Sr. WR Marist – The 5a state leader in sacks from last season, is now a state leader in multiple categories as a wide out. Teams can not double team Baird or Harper just burns you; He has caught 30 passes for 503 yards and 12 Tds in what has been a breakout year offensively.
8. Chris Garcia 6-0 200 Sr. RB Silverton – One of the top two way threats in the state who has helped his Foxes to a 6-0 record rushing for 131 times for 687 yards, and 11 Tds , averaging 114.5 yards per game.

He has gone off the last two season’s putting up monster numbers, and has been the focal point of game plans. He could climb this list quick with similar numbers from 2010-11 and a state title.
10. Antonio Bella 5-10 175 Sr. Slot/WR Roosevelt – Kids having an amazing year on both sides of the ball catching 31 passes for 635 yards and 7 Tds through 5 games; He is averaging 105.3 yards receiving per contest and is right on the scholarship offer bubble.
11. Cory Hincks- Sr. RB Wilson – The senior RB has rushed 104 times for 993 yards and 13 Tds, averaging 9.5 yards per catch.. The Trojans are having there best season in years and Hincks is one of the main reasons.

13. John Carroll 6-4 200 Sr. WR Mt View – One of the state’s top 3 sport athletes has caught 39 passes for 713 yards and 3 Tds for the defending 5a State Champions; He will be a three time all league kid on both sides of the ball.

He’s Oregon’s #1 Jr recruit for a reason and will just get better.. He has hit on 51.4% of his passes for 1020 yds, while rushing 30 times for 241 yards.
