Hood River’s Miller to compete in Les Schwab Bowl in Portland

HOOD RIVER — Hood River Valley High School’s Jack Miller will compete in the 2026 Les Schwab Bowl on Saturday, June 27, at Lewis and Clark College in Portland.

The Les Schwab Bowl features top high school football players in the state of Oregon and Southwest Washington, splitting them into two teams (Team Columbia and Team Willamette) in an all-star style game. The Bowl moved from a North vs. South geographical match-up in 2022 to a two-team live draft process where teams are now a mix of players from all over the state and region.

Miller, a 2026 graduate of HRVHS and a standout offensive and defensive lineman for the Eagles during the 2022-25 seasons, will play for Team Columbia Saturday. Miller helped the Eagles to an 8-2 overall record in 2025, reaching the state playoffs for a school record fourth consecutive year.

During his time with the Eagles, Miller played three varsity seasons in blue and gold, capping his prep career with an OSAA 5A second team all-state selection on the defensive line, as well as earning OSAA 5A NWOC co-defensive lineman of the year honors.

Miller, who is also a track and field standout, will continue his education in La Grande this fall and will compete for Eastern Oregon University’s men’s track and field team.

Columbia Gorge News will provide updates on Miller’s time at the Les Schwab Bowl.
