Lake Oswego Lakers DE Elijah Smith Enters Transfer Portal
Elijah Smith, a highly touted junior defensive end at Lake Oswego High School, has entered the transfer portal, sources close to the program confirm. The move comes on the heels of a coaching change at the 6A program. Smith's decision to explore other options is not unexpected, given the scarcity of top-tier defensive linemen in the state. The Lakers will undoubtedly feel the loss, as Smith was a key contributor to the team's success in previous seasons. The Oregon native is reportedly drawing interest from programs in California, Washington, and Idaho, who are seeking to bolster their defensive lines for the upcoming season. Smith's recruitment is expected to be closely watched, as he is considered one of the top prospects in the region.
