Oregon's Top Athletes (Ranked #1-50) for the 2020 Class

1. Andy Alfieri 6-3 220 LB Jesuit

COMMITTED: California

Oregon's #1 prospect and one of the top LB's in America for the 2020 class. What will be a 4* national recruit. Earned 1st team all league RB/LB honors and 2nd team all state accolades on both sides of the football. One of the most impressive football families in state history.. Brother Joey Alfieri will be a high round NFL draft choice out of Stanford in 2019. Andy projects as an All American and a future pro himself.

Updated Analysis: Cal scored big getting commitments from Oregon's top two recruits. Andy was selected and will play in the Pro Football Hall of Fame's All American game on CBS. Look for his brother Joey Alfieri to do well as a rookie with the Philadelphia Eagles.

2. Casey Filkins 5-11 193 ATH Lake Oswego

COMMITTED: California

3* National recruit. The Oregon 6A Offensive POY. One of the most exciting athletes ever to come out of the state. Accounted for 2,026 all purpose yards and 37 Tds helping the Lakers to the 2018 state title. Tested in the 99% at the Nike SPARQ combine last off season. More than likely a multi offer Pac 12 athlete when all is said and done. Will be pursued by most of the top high end academic schools in the country. 4.0 student.

Updated Analysis: Filkins was selected as an Adidas All American and will play in the game on NBC this year. He is a special athlete that defies the norms. Expect him to get better every year of his football career.

3. John Miller 6-1 215 LB Tualatin

COMMITTED: Oregon St

One of the most athletic kids in the West. A big early commitment for the Beavers. The CO-TRL Defensive POY who earned 1st team all state honors..Accounted for 87 total tackles, 9 tackles for loss, and 3 INTs, Also had an outstanding year on offensive. Miller's overall athleticism is reinforced with his acrobatic dunks on the basketball floor. With continued progression he could be one of the better players in the PAC 12.

4. Jalen John 5-11 205 RB Lakeridge

OFFERS: USC, Nebraska, Arizona, Oregon, Oregon St, Utah

John had a nice Junior year earning 1st team All TRL honors after averaging 8.9 yards per carry and going for 20 TDs. Definitely one of the best backs in the West and an Oregon POY candidate next season. He received multiple D1 offers very early in HS career. All of this said as the question becomes will his stock continue to rise?

Updated Analysis: It was good to see Jalen on the 7v7 circuit as he did well. It will be interesting to see how long he takes to commit as some of those high profile offers might not always be there.

5. Silas Starr 6-3 195 WR Central Catholic

COMMITTED: Stanford

2x 1st team all league WR. Started as a freshman. Caught 43 passes for 838 yards and 11 TDs during the regular season in 2018 racking up 1st team all state honors. Ranked one of the top WR's in the West for the 2020 class. Routes are crisp and precise, the question becomes straight ahead speed and how that translates at the next level.

6. Sandrey Mitberg 6-3 235 DE/OLB Beaverton

OFFERS: Utah St, Idaho, E.Washington

Hands down one of the fastest rising athletes in the NW. D1 Kid. Racked up 1st team All Metro honors requiring a consistent double team coming off the edge. Accounted for double digit sacks. His combination of speed and size puts him towards the top of the charts from a projection standpoint. Outstanding wrestler who just won the 6A title for his weight class.

Updated Analysis: Always been a backer of Mitberg. Had him ranked in the top 10 without any offers. He has blown up recently and could potentially land an Oregon St or some other Pac 12's with a good 2019 campaign.

7. Richard Kennewell 6-3 200 WR/ OLB Clackamas

Hands down one of the fastest rising recruits in the NW. I go back and forth between him and Starr as the top WR in Oregon, speaking to his overall ability. Legit D1 athlete on both sides of the football. Earned 1st team all state honors catching 32 passes for 753 yards and 12 TDs in 2018. Big , fast, physical kid who is currently being slept on. Also one of the top OLB's in the region. Will be a 3* national recruit

Updated Analysis: Currently the most slept on kid in the NW. Has killed it all off season, including at the national 7v7 tournament in Las Vegas, against 3 and 4* kids. Unquestioned D1 athlete.

8. Grant Starck 6-5 280 T/DE Thurston

COMMITTED: Nevada

As of right now probably Oregon's top O lineman from a projection standpoint. Unquestioned D1 athlete. Football family and son of 6-7 head coach Justin Starck. Showed off overall athleticism earning 1st team all state honors on both sides of the football. Helped the Colts to the 5A state title.

Updated Analysis: Starck has separated himself from all of the other lineman in Oregon. He is now a clear cut #1. If he stays healthy look for multiple Pac 12s to go on him at some point.

9. Junior Walling 6-2 220 LB McNary

COMMITTED: Oregon St

Could end up the most decorated player ever to come out of McNary HS with 31 consecutive varsity starts. 3* national recruit who earned 1st team all league RB/LB honors and honorable mention all state accolades at backer. The last two seasons he has accounted for 175 total tackles, 38 tackles for loss, 17 sacks, and 2,356 all purpose yards offensively. Numbers did drop off a bit from his Sophomore season. Academic standout (4.0). Helped the Celts to a miraculous turnaround after starting the season 0-5 and then winning the MVC conference.

10. Kalvin Souders 6-3 195 WR Central Catholic

OFFERS: Idaho St, Navy

Souders doesn't get enough credit. If he's on any other roster, other than CC with Starr, he's talked about substantially more. Earned 2nd team All Mt Hood honors. Kalvin currently sits on multiple D1 boards. It will come down to continued progression and how he does against national competition this off season.

11. Luke Marion 6-1 180 FS Tualatin

OFFERS: Utah St
Son of former NFL Vet, 3 year All Pro Brock Marion. Luke earned 2nd team All TRL honors as he possesses freakish athletic ability. From a projection standpoint his ceiling may be as high as anyone. Look for Marion's stock to skyrocket in the coming months.

12. Zach Slail 6-4 295 DT Southridge

OFFERS: Idaho, Air Force
Impressive kid who earned 2nd team All Metro honors this past season. Projects at the D1 level. Can play on either side of the ball moving very well on the interior for a big man. Film speaks for itself.

Updated Analysis: Not a lot of people know about him as he hasn't done much on the camp circuit until recently. With that being said he is really good

13. Marquis Brown 6-3 175 CB Liberty

One of the fastest rising prospects in the NW. Racked up Conference Player of the Year honors and 1st team all state accolades. At 6-3 he is a very appealing recruit with his size at CB. Played multiple positions, finishing with 9 INTs on the year, while killing it offensively and requiring a consistent double team.

14. Max Lenzy 5-10 170 CB Tigard

OFFERS: Utah St, Idaho, Navy, Montana St,, Sac St, Youngstown St

Lenzy was the CO-TRL Defensive POY .earning 1st team all state honors after picking off 10 passes, which tied for 9th nationally. As most know he is the brother of Notre Dame WR Braden Lenzy, one of Oregon's fastest and best ever. Max is a great kid but undersized in comparison to his sibling. He also caught 32 passes for 518 yards and 4 TDs offensively. He has been ranked a 4* national recruit.

15. Tiger Shanks 6-6 320 OL Lake Oswego

OFFERS: Idaho

Shanks made the transfer from Lakeridge, helping Lake O to the 2018 6A state title. He earned all conference honors as a freshman and followed that up nicely with a 2nd team all TRL selection this year. Tiger has a ridiculously high ceiling due to his size and overall athletic ability. That said as this off season on the camp circuit, and next year in particular, will be telling as to whether or not he can put it all together.

Updated Analysis: Tiger dropped about 50 pounds so he is still getting used to his new body weight. Once he gets comfortable the sky is the limit, training with the region's top line coach in Alex Linnenkohl

16. Nick Haynes 6-2 180 WR/S Reynolds

OFFERS: Utah St, Montana St

One of the most versatile kids in the NW. Can play 5+ positions on the field. Earned 1st team all league honors as a Sophomore. Projects as a division 1 athlete at some level. Great size and overall physicality. What is now a 3* national recruit

Updated Analysis: Haynes had a nice off season, upping his stock on the 7v7 circuit. He is a big physical CB, who can also play WR and return kicks, making him that much more appealing to D1s.

17. Kainoa Sayre 6-0 190 RB Tualatin

OFFERS: Air Force

Missed his Junior year due to an injury but a special talent who projects as a D1 athlete at some level. Look for him to be back in a big way next season after earning 1st team all TRL honors as a Sophomore.

18. Logan Horton 6-1 215 FB/ ILB Jesuit

The top Fullback in Oregon and probably the NW. Earned 1st team All Metro honors offensively. That said as Horton projects as one of the top L;B's in the state. Expect multiple D1 programs who still use the FB on a consistent basis to be vying for his services.

Updated Analysis: Currently the #1 Fullback in America according to 247. Absolutely destroys kids when hitting the hole. Even if the fullback position isn't widely used anymore, programs will figure out a way to get him in the mix. He is that good.

19. Joe Hutson 6-1 175 DB Lake Oswego

OFFERS: San Diego, Navy

Hutson is one of the fastest rising recruits in the NW. He earned 1st team all league and 2nd team all state accolades during the Lakers 2018 state title run, accumulating 65 total tackles, 5 INT's, and a state leading 27 pass deflections. His stock continues to rise during the off season on the 7v7 circuit with multiple MVP like performances. Hands down one of the top dual threat kids in Oregon.

20. Thomas Dukart 6-2 175 Safety Lake Oswego

COMMITTED: Oregon St- Baseball

Dukart earned 1st team all state honors on both sides of the football. Something no other athlete in Oregon can say at the 6A level. As good as he was offensively (10 TDs) he projects on D if he was to pursue football. All of this said as he is committed to.Oregon St for baseball

21. Parker Mckenna 6-1 210 ILB Beaverton

One of the fastest rising prospects in the region. Big fan of this kid. Absolutely fly's to the ball. Earned 2nd team all league honors (should have been 1st) and is listed among the leading tacklers (115) in the Pacific NW.

Updated Analysis: The fastest rising athlete in Oregon not ranked in the top 10. Parker has jumped 20+ spots in the last couple months. His film is REAL.

22. Damiko Tidmore Jr. 6-5 240 DE/TE West Linn

Truly a kid that could play on either side of the ball. The most potential of any TE in Oregon. Didn't have crazy numbers 7 receptions, 46 yards, and 3 TDs. but runs impressive routes and has the size to be a legit blocker. Honorable mention all conference athlete on both sides of the football. Accounted for 52 total tackles, and 8 tackles for loss.

23. Miles Jackson 6-0 180 CB/RB Central Catholic

OFFERS: Army, Portland St, Montana St, Georgetown

Jackson is a physical, lock down, dual threat kid. He earned 1st team All Mt Hood and honorable mention all state accolades from his CB spot, while ranking as one of the state's top RB's over the last two seasons. Miles is a great kid coming from a football family, with his father Antonio Jackson being a standout WR at PSU back in the day.

Updated Analysis: Broke out on the camp circuit during the off season, looking like the top DB in the NW at the end of the 7v7 season. Miles proved himself against legit national attention.

24. Elijah Elliott 5-9 170 CB ATH Central Catholic

OFFERS: Utah St, Air Force, Army, Portland St, Montana St, Idaho St, Navy, Georgetown, William & Mary

One of the most well rounded athletes in the region (3.8 GPA). Earned 1st team all league accolades at RB, accounting for 1,158 rushing & receiving yards and 18 TDs. That said as he projects on D as a very physical and smart corner. The question remains size and how he would fare at the highest level of D1 ball. His talent is not in question, but a bigger WR could create serious match up problems.

25. Deonte Jones 6-0 185 RB Churchill

OFFERS: Utah St, Portland St

Easily one of the top backs in the NW. Averaged over 200 yards per game in just over 6 contests after making the move from Alabama. Competition has to be taken into account but his #s were ridiculous, going for 20 total Tds and 14.7 ypc. With continued progression he will hold multiple offers when all is said and done.
