This is so incredible for me as a Mom! I am so proud of my son. Devin really is an amazing kid.
4A All-Idaho First Team Offense Varsity Extra: High School Sports Idaho Statesman

JAKE LAMMERS, JEROME, QB
The 6-foot-2 senior played 10 games because he was hurt in the second quarter of Jerome's state quarterfinal victory against Nampa, but completed 241-of-351 passes for 2,803 yards, and 23 TDs. Lammers also ran 95 times for 262 yards and 13 TDs. "This young man is responsible for the J-town turnaround," Minico coach Tim Perrigot wrote.
SKYLAR MORGAN, MINICO, RB
The 4A Player of the Year, known as "Poke" at Minico, makes his second consecutive appearance on the first team. At 5-foot-10, 185 pounds, Morgan carried the ball 275 times for 2,062 yards and 26 touchdowns. He also had 11 receptions for 140 yards and three more touchdowns. " 'Poke' is Minico football," Minico coach Tim Perrigot wrote.
DEVIN DROGHEI, HILLCREST, RB
The 5-foot-9, 175-pound 4A/5A High Country Conference offensive player of the year finished his junior season with 32 TDs. In Hillcrest's state championship victory against Jerome, he had four TD runs and finished the game with 26 carries for 292 yards. "Dominated the state championship game," Middleton coach Bill Brock wrote.
MIKE DECKER, POCATELLO, TE
The 6-foot-2, 215-pound 4A District Five player of the year finished his senior season with 28 catches for 460 yards and 10 touchdowns. Decker helped Pocatello advance to the state quarterfinals, where it lost 42-21 to eventual state champion Hillcrest. "Good receiver, great blocker," former Bishop Kelly coach Jack Parker wrote of Decker.
GUS CALLEN, JEROME, WR
Minico coach Tim Perrigot wasn't shy in expressing his admiration of the 6-foot-3, 160-pound junior. "J-town should change his name to 'Clutch'," Perrigot wrote. Callen finished the season with 82 receptions for 940 yards and eight TDs. "Without a doubt, the go-to receiver of 4A football," Jerome coach Gary Krumm wrote.
KOBY CAMPBELL, CENTURY, WR
At 6-foot, 150 pounds, the senior was named District Five offensive player of the year. He averaged 20 yards per catch and finished the season with 40 catches for 815 yards and 11 TDs. Century lost to Hillcrest in the first round of the playoffs. "Great student and football player," Century coach Nate Borchert wrote of Campbell, who sports a 3.8 GPA.
ETHAN WATT, NAMPA, OL
The 6-foot-1, 250-pound senior's work in the trenches helped Nampa advance to the state playoffs, where the Bulldogs lost to finalist Jerome in the quarterfinals. Behind Watt and his fellow linemen, All-Idaho second-team quarterback and Southern Idaho Conference offensive player of the year Quaid Morris passed for 1,020 yards and rushed for 820.
SHANE OLIVERSON, PRESTON, OL
Preston's first All-Idaho first-team selection since 2003 also is a second-team defensive lineman. He was a second-teamer on offense and defense last year. The 6-foot-4, 245-pound senior was named District Five lineman of the year. "Devastating run blocker with the necessary skills to be a great pass blocker, too," Preston coach Shawn Marlow wrote.
JAKE LEWIS, MOUNTAIN HOME, OL
Also a Southern Idaho Conference first-teamer, the 6-foot-1, 240-pound junior left tackle provided holes for 1,160-yard running back Tallon Pauley and protection for 1,364-yard passer Kyle Kerfoot. He is a two-year starter for Mountain Home, which advanced to the state semifinals, but lost to eventual champion Hillcrest 49-43 in Idaho Falls.
SHAE ANDREWS, POCATELLO, OL
With the 6-foot-3, 205-pound senior leading the way on the offensive line, Pocatello advanced to the 4A state playoffs for the sixth consecutive season and finished with an 8-2 record after losing to eventual champion Hillcrest in the quarterfinals. "Best O-lineman in southeast Idaho," Pocatello coach Tom Harrison wrote of the District Five first-team selection.
NATHAN ASTEL, HILLCREST, OL
The 6-foot, 220-pound junior was listed as an offensive and defensive lineman for the state champions, but he excelled on offense. The 4A/5A High Country Conference first-teamer helped lead the way for High Country offensive player of the year Devin Droghei. With Astel anchoring the offensive line, Hillcrest averaged 39.8 points per game.
SERGIO MENDOZA, JEROME, K
At 5-foot-6, 145 pounds, Mendoza didn't cast an imposing shadow, but the senior had a big leg that helped the Tigers advance to the state championship game against Hillcrest. Mendoza converted 55-of-59 extra points and he made 3-of-5 field goals to finish third on the team with 64 points. On kickoffs, he recorded two touchbacks.« Back to Varsity Extra: High School Sports
