Which Eugene-Springfield football players earned all-state honors?

The OSAA recently unveiled its large-school all-state football teams for the 2025 season, and more than 40 players from the Eugene-Springfield area made the cut.

Plenty of Lane County teams made deep postseason runs this season. Crow delivered a thrilling Cinderella story in November, orchestrating multiple upsets to reach the Class 1A 6-man state championship game. Churchill made an equally unlikely run to the Class 5A state semifinals despite entering the playoffs as the No. 13 seed. Willamette, Thurston, Junction City, Lowell and Triangle Lake all surged to the quarterfinals.

Here is a look at which local football soccer stars were voted among the best in Oregon by the state's coaches. All-state lists for Class 3A, 2A and 1A had not been announced at the time of publication.

Willamette’s Tony Cumberland, center, scores a touchdown against Sheldon. Cumberland was named the 6A co-defensive player of the year.
