Have a look at the top skill kids for the class of 2016, as we continue to feature the Junior’s returning in Oregon this season. This group has the potential of being one of the elite perimeter classes to come through the state in some time.

 

WR

Lamar Winston 6-3 205 Central Catholic– Most likely the state’s top ranked receiver for the 2016 class. He is a phenomenal overall athlete and one of the region’s top OLB’s, earning 2nd team all league honors last season. He will require a consistent double team if you want to contain him.

Cody Coppedge 6-4 175 West Linn– Coppedge is the real deal, projecting at the D1 level after earning 1st team all league honors in the brutally tough TRL as a sophomore. He was an MVP at the RDAF Showcase in June and is also considered one of the top hoopers in Oregon.

Bryce Bumgardner 6-2 170 St Helens– One of the top dual threat athletes in all of Oregon. Bumgardner tied for the state lead in picks with Jordan Happle (4) among sophomores, also catching 24 passes for 386 yards and 3 TD’s.

Shashi Penn 5-11 180 Ashland– Penn will be a 4 year varsity athlete, earning 1st team all league and 2nd team all state honors as a sophomore. He helped the Grizzlies to the MWC conference title and a state semi final appearance last season.

Alex Stickel 6-2 180 Sunset– One of the fastest rising players In Oregon. Stickel has legit size and is equally talented on both sides of the ball. Look for him to have a breakout year in the Metro.

Braydon Haas 6-3 180 Springfield– Haas comes from a football family with his brother Jordan being a standout 6-5 lineman. Braydon is rising quickly, and will be utilized often by MWC Player of the Year QB Trever Watson over the next two seasons.

Dustin Jones 5-11 170 Marist– Jones had a breakout Sophomore year catching 42 passes for 662 yards and 10 TD’s. Look for Coach Geske to combo his talents with Trae Gould and other skill kids in the Spartan offense.

TE

Jacob Kizer 6-5 235 West Salem– Kizer will be one of the top recruits in the Northwest on both sides of the football. He is a legit D1 recruit that could have double digit offers before he is done. He is incredibly athletic for a kid 6-5 , running a (4.7) 40 yard dash.

Cameron McCormick 6-5 225 Summit– Another kid that projects as a high profile D1 athlete. His NFL HS coaching staff considers him a special player at the collegiate level. He caught 12 passes for 145 yards and 2 TD’s in 2013, also running a 11.35 (100) Meters as a Sophomore.

Tyson Abraham 6-3 205 David Douglas– Abraham was a 2nd team all conference kid as a sophomore and looks like one of the top TE’s in Oregon. Look for him to be a featured athlete on a much improved Scots team.

 

 

SLOT

Trevon Bradford 5-11 175 Oregon City– One of the top athletes in the entire Northwest, already holding a D1 offer (Montana St). He earned 1st team all league honors on both sides of the football as a sophomore and is maybe the most exciting return man in the region.
