The list now stands at 150 players, ranging from the top tier D1 prospects, all the way down to small college recruits. You can check out the full rankings <strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/oklahoma/rankings/2021-rankings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RIGHT HERE. </a></strong>Today, we will be highlighting five quarterbacks who are some of the best in Oklahoma's senior class. We have a mix of stat sheet stuffers and ultimate winners. Stay tuned to Prep Redzone Oklahoma over the next few days as we close out our evaluations for the class of 2021! <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="38534" first="Ben" last="Harris"] - Carl Albert (Ranked #69 Overall)</strong></span> We begin with a player who we believe is the most decorated quarterback in state history. Carl Albert quarterback [player_tooltip player_id="38534" first="Ben" last="Harris"] has started 53 games and is 51-2 with four state championships. However, it's not just about the wins and the state championships, although what else do you need? Harris is a very accurate quarterback and an underrated athlete and has the ability to tuck the ball and run. While he doesn't have some of the stats the others have, look at his game and who is around him. He's consistently had some of the best running backs in the state in his backfield. He hasn't had to dominate a game with his arm. Don't think that he can't do it. He's proven that he is one of the best of all time. <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="38509" first="Bryce" last="Drummond"] - Pawhuska (Ranked #23 Overall)</strong></span> No quarterback put up the monster numbers that we saw from Pawhuska quarterback [player_tooltip player_id="38509" first="Bryce" last="Drummond"]. The Pawhuska offense was literally the best in state history with the most points in the regular season. Drummond was a dual-threat monster but his passing numbers reached new heights in 2020. Drummond began his high school career as a fantastic athlete that also happened to play quarterback. As he grew and continued to improve, Drummond became one of the best overall quarterbacks in the state. In fact, he's our top quarterback in this senior class. He's already signed and on campus at North Texas. He's the latest Oklahoma quarterback to make his way south to North Texas, continuing that pipeline. <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="38527" first="Dayton" last="Wolfe"] - Westmoore (Ranked #78 Overall)</strong></span> Similar to several other quarterbacks on this list, Westmoore's [player_tooltip player_id="38527" first="Dayton" last="Wolfe"] has been on the radar for several years now. In fact, we're sure that plenty of Westmoore's opponents are glad that Wolfe is finally graduating after all the numbers he put up in the last three seasons as their starter. Wolfe was arguably the best dual-threat quarterback in this senior class as he put up some big numbers in the passing and rushing game. However, while he began his career primarily as a runner, he continued to progress every season as a passer and became very accurate and efficient in the passing game. Wolfe has been one of the more consistent quarterbacks in this senior class and has a bright future ahead of him. <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="63287" first="Denver" last="Wilson"] - Oklahoma Christian School (Ranked #72 Overall)</strong></span> Senior quarterback [player_tooltip player_id="63287" first="Denver" last="Wilson"] is a very interesting prospect to evaluate if you didn't follow EVERY Oklahoma school. Wilson was the starting quarterback for Casady, a school that played an independent schedule and was not in the OSSAA. However, Wilson would play his senior season at Oklahoma Christian School and helped lead the Saints all the way to the 2A semifinals. Wilson has always been a really good quarterback prospect but he simply didn't get some of the publicity that other quarterbacks got because Casady didn't get as much coverage. But it only took one season for Wilson to show that he is right there in the conversation with the other quarterbacks in this class and was a fast riser up the rankings. <strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">[player_tooltip player_id="38531" first="Mason" last="Williams"] - Bixby (Ranked #93 Overall)</span></strong> We finish up with a quarterback who is right there with [player_tooltip player_id="38534" first="Ben" last="Harris"] when it comes to most decorated quarterbacks in state history. Williams lost his first start as a sophomore and didn't lose again. He went 36-1 with three straight state championships. In addition to all of the wins and the rings, Williams has rewritten the passing record book at Bixby with over 100 passing touchdowns in his career. Williams is still unsigned and has been one of the more overlooked recruits in this 2021 class. Despite the stats, the wins and the ability, college coaches seem to be getting stuck on Williams being under 6'0. From the outside looking in, it seems like that is the only thing holding Williams back and it isn't right.
