Now that non-district play is in the rear view mirror and the high school season really starts heating up this week with district play beginning, it’s time to launch a new weekly feature! Every Friday, we’ll take a look at three of the best players in the state of Oklahoma. This is our first Player Of The Year Watchlist post. We’ll take a look at three game changers that are well on their way to being finalists for the Prep Redzone Oklahoma Player Of The Year award. Every Friday, we’ll look at three players who have been playing outstanding football. Here’s a look at the first three players.
[player_tooltip player_id="38509" first="Bryce" last="Drummond"] - Senior Quarterback - Pawhuska
Our first player is Pawhuska senior quarterback [player_tooltip player_id="38509" first="Bryce" last="Drummond"], who is currently committed to North Texas. Coming into the season, many expected Drummond and Pawhuska to be among the best in Class A and they have certainly lived up to that so far this season. The Huskies are 3-0 and have put up massive numbers on the scoreboard in each of their wins. Their offense is averaging over 60 points per game as they’ve scored at least 60 in all three games. Drummond has obviously excelled in the offense so far this year. He’s thrown for 1,042 yards and 14 touchdowns on 56-82 passing. He’s also added 188 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. He’s also had an impact on defense but you can’t help but see the damage he’s done on offense. Drummond might be leading the best offense in Oklahoma, regardless of class.
[player_tooltip player_id="38579" first="Javyn" last="Wright"] - Senior Quarterback - Vian As opposed to Drummond at Pawhuska, Vian quarterback [player_tooltip player_id="38579" first="Javyn" last="Wright"] does just about all of his damage on the ground. He is one of the top rushers in the state and has gotten better after helping lead Vian to the 2A title game a year ago. The Wolverines are off to a 4-0 start and opened district play on Thursday against Keys. They won handily with a 64-0 victory. Wright only played in the first quarter, where he had six carries for 113 yards and a pair of touchdowns. For the season, Wright now has 82 carries for 749 yards and nine touchdowns. He’s also 3-5 for 133 yards and a pair of touchdowns. His best game came in week two, when they knocked off John Marshall on the road. He was 2-2 for 120 yards and a touchdown and also added 232 yards and pair of touchdowns on 31 carries in the win.
[player_tooltip player_id="38521" first="Qwontrel" last="Walker"] - Senior Running Back - Stillwater Our final player has been a regular in Oklahoma when it comes to putting up big numbers and being considered one of the best in the state. Stillwater senior running back [player_tooltip player_id="38521" first="Qwontrel" last="Walker"] continues his climb up the state’s all time rushing charts. The Pioneers have only played two games but Walker has been outstanding in both. In wins over Edmond Santa Fe and Mustang, Walker has 53 carries for 503 yards and nine touchdowns. In the victory over Mustang, Walker took the opening play for a touchdown and that put him over 6,000 yards for his career. With their week three game being cancelled, that could hurt Walker’s chances at reaching the record. But he’s still on pace to have another fantastic season and help lead the Pioneers right back to the 6A-D2 state championship game.
