Here is a recent article on more recruiting and those who have committed.

http://www.herosports.com/news/portland-state-reaps-recruiting-benefits-from-standout-season" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;


Here's a look at the 2016 Portland State commitment list, which will surely grow a bit before national signing day next week and probably afterwards too (NOTE: These are the recruits HERO Sports could verify. NCAA rules prohibit a school from discussing its recruits until they sign with the school).
OL Moustapha Toure Hood River, Ore. 6'7" 300
QB Davis Alexander Gig Harbor, Wash. 5'11" 180
ATH Takoda Browne San Diego, Calif. 5'10" 165
DB Ryan Wood Glendale, Ariz. 6'2" 195
LB Dylan Hanley Grants Pass, Ore. 6'3" 225
LB Avery Jones Beaverton, Ore. 6'3" 200
OL Tom Laverde Portland, Ore. 6'5" 270
TE A.J. Ruffin Tacoma, Wash. 6'5" 250
DE Mason Vega Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. 6'4" 220
 
The only one I have heard of that's missing from that list is Kenton Bartlett, who's mentioned above. It's starting to look like an excellent class.
 
The Vikings just got even bigger!:

TRI-CITY HERALD

Kamiakin’s Sorensen says he’ll play at Portland State

Kamiakin senior offensive lineman Korbin Sorensen tweeted Friday night that he will be going to Portland State University.

The tweet read: “Proud to announce the future of my education and football will be at Portland State University! #RollViks.”

The 6-foot-6, 275-pound Sorensen also received scholarship offers from Idaho and Montana State.

Sorensen received Mid-Columbia Conference, Tri-City Herald All-Area and Associated Press Class 3A state first-team honors last season. He also appeared on The (Tacoma) News Tribune All-State team.

Not sure why his HUDL profile says he's a DT. Every one of his highlight films shows him on the OL (where by the way he really shows some good persistence on his blocks). Great to have him aboard!
 
Keith Moore will make his decision tomorrow evening between Eastern Washington, UTEP or Portland State. Go PSU, Roll Viks!!!!!!! He sure looks good in green :nod: !!!!!!

"Comes down to these 3 schools... Making my decision tomorrow evening, stay tuned!"

"On to the next chapter in my life. Portland state see you soon"
