OL
1. Kevin Cassidy Kevin Cassidy 6'6" | 270 lbs | OL Mountainside | 2023 State OR 6-6 280 Mountainside (OFFERS: Portland St) Cassidy has a stock which continues to rise. From a collegiate projection standpoint there are few with a higher ceiling as he is still relatively new to the position. As noted numerous times the genes speak for themselves.
2. Roice Cleeland Roice Cleeland 6'3" | 290 lbs | OL Jesuit | 2023 State OR 6-3 280 Jesuit (OFFERS: Portland St) As most know Roice is the son of 8-year NFL vet Cam Cleeland.

3. Cody White Cody White 6'7" | 260 lbs | OL Estacada | 2023 State OR 6-7 250 Estacada- White is still raw but the 6-7 frame is appealing. It’s a tough call against 4A competition but he did well enough as a junior to earn 1st team all-league and honorable mention all-state honors. It all comes down to continued progression as there is still a lot of work to be done.
4. Ryan Berger Ryan Berger 6'5" | 280 lbs | OL Liberty | 2023 State OR 6-5 280 Liberty- One of the fastest rising players in the state.

5. Sean Khouri Sean Khouri 6'2" | 275 lbs | DL Jesuit | 2023 State OR 6-2 275 Jesuit- Khouri doesn’t have prototypical D1 size but he is a mauler and fundamentally as good as any lineman in the state. From a projection standpoint it’s a size thing as he’s definitely got the talent.
6. David Fuiava David Fuiava 6'2" | 290 lbs | DL North Medford | 2023 State OR 6-2 290 North Medford- The 2x 1st team all SWC O lineman may project more on the defensive side of the ball due to size. Regardless he is one of the top two-way lineman in Oregon and was dominant last year.
7. Ryan Yakovich Ryan Yakovich 6'3" | 290 lbs | OL Sheldon | 2023 State OR 6-3 290 Sheldon- Yakovich had an impressive junior season earning 2ndteam all-conference honors. He will have multiple opportunities to prove himself against the likes of SWC lineman of the year Tiger Black Tiger Black 6'3" | 265 lbs | DL Roseburg | 2023 State OR . The Irish are legit and could make a deep playoff run.
8. Camden Ferguson Camden Ferguson 6'3" | 305 lbs | OL Lakeridge | 2023 State OR 6-3 305 Lakeridge- The Pacers have skill guys for days and are a top 5 6A team heading into the season.

9. Daniel Thomas Daniel Thomas 6'4" | 275 lbs | OL Douglas | 2023 State OR 6-4 275 Roseburg- Not a lot of people know about Thomas with SWC POY Tiger Black Tiger Black 6'3" | 265 lbs | DL Roseburg | 2023 State OR garnering a majority of the praise. That said as he has great size and returns after a 2ndteam all conference season.
10. Beau CressAllen Beau CressAllen 6'4" | 255 lbs | OL Central Catholic | 2023 State OR 6-4 255 Central Catholic- CC returns a host of skill kids after winning the state title, but loses some talent up front with the transfer of Joe Merlino Joe Merlino 6'3" | 275 lbs | OL Central Catholic | 2023 OR to Union HS in Vancouver and 4* TE Riley Williams Riley Williams 6'7" | 230 lbs | TE Central Catholic | 2023 OR who bounced to IMG. CressAllen has legit size and will be called upon to lead after an honorable mention all conference season.
11. Will Davis Will Davis 6'3" | 250 lbs | OL Franklin | 2023 State OR 6-3 255 Franklin- Davis racked up 2nd team all PIL honors and is fortunate to be coached by Oregon’s top O line guy in Alex Linnenkohl. We will see how much he progresses this season.
12. Jake Hood Jake Hood 6'4" | 270 lbs | OL Oregon City | 2023 State OR 6-4 270 Oregon City- Another kid who has the potential of being a 1st team all TRL O lineman.

13. Sylus Wallace Sylus Wallace 6'2" | 300 lbs | OL Jesuit | 2023 State OR 6-2 300 Jesuit- Wallace returns after a 1st team all-Metro season, and should receive substantial notoriety as the Crusaders return the top O line in the state, and will be a 6A title contender.

Trent Hodney Trent Hodney 6'2" | 290 lbs | OL Sherwood | 2023 State OR 6-2 290 Sherwood- One of the most impressive linemen in all of Oregon last season, earning co-Pacific Conference O lineman of the year honors as a Junior. If he is going to project to a higher level collegiately it would most likely be at center.
15. Elijah Markowitz Elijah Markowitz 6'2" | 300 lbs | DL Westview | 2023 State OR 6-2 300 Liberty- Markowitz earned 1st team all-conference honors on the offensive front and is one of the strongest lineman in the state. From a projection standpoint he could end up as a DT at the next level.
16. Reese Hare Reese Hare 6'4" | 240 lbs | OL Tigard | 2023 State OR 6-4 235 Tigard- Hare had a nice junior season earning 2ndteam all TRL honors. He has the frame to add some substantial size if he pursues that tackle spot in college.
