Who is the best of the best among linebackers in Oregon?

As the 2024 Oregon high school football season kicked off, we took a position-by-position look at some of the top players in the state.

QB | RB | WR | TE | OL | DL | LB | DB | K/P/LS

Now, midway through the regular season, we want to revisit those lists and hear from you, the fans: Which players are the best of the best?

After having five weeks of games to watch, who is the best linebacker in Oregon high school football?

Vote in the poll and let us know who you think is the state’s top linebacker this season. Later, we will publish the “fans’ all-star team” based on the vote of the readers. (The top five vote-getters at linebacker will make the all-star team.)

Linebacker voting will conclude Tuesday, Oct. 29, at 11:59 p.m.

Note: Some players have transitioned to a new position this year, and several new stars have emerged who weren’t on our radar in August. We also plan to highlight many of those breakthrough players as the season winds down. If you have a “new star” to recommend for those lists, please email rferran.scorebooklive@gmail.com.
