Tyrell Crosby
As a University of Oregon freshman in 2014, offensive tackle Tyrell Crosby — a 2013 "Champion on the Rise" from Green Valley High School — played in all 15 games. Despite missing all but two games in his third year — he broke his left foot — by the end of his college career, he had received several awards, including 2017 Pac-12 Offensive Lineman of the Year. He’s now a member of the Detroit Lions. Eduardo Rossal
Randall Cunningham Jr.
High jumper Randall Cunningham Jr. was a Gatorade 2013 track and field athlete of the year — no wonder we made him a "Champion" the next year. In 2015, his first year at USC, he was an All-American. In 2016, he took first in the NCAA Division 1 Outdoor Track and Field Championships. At the 2018 NCAA Indoor Championship, he won with a USC record jump of 7 feet, 6.2 inches. ER
