OregonLive recently featured some of the best 5A defensive linemen in Oregon high school football.
Now, we want to hear from you: Which 5A defensive lineman is the best of the best in 2025?
Read the write-ups on every defensive lineman here, and then vote in the poll at the bottom of this page.
The voting will conclude Sunday, Oct. 26, at 11:59 p.m. Pacific. Later, we will publish the “fans’ all-star team” based on the vote of the readers.
Note: OregonLive’s polls are intended to be fun. You can vote as many times as you want, but we discourage the use of script, macro or other automated means. OregonLive reserves the right to adjust the voting based on irregularities. Email jhumburg@advancelocal.com with concerns.
