Spring football is about to begin in Oklahoma and that means it’s a wrap for the 7v7 travel circuit. We went to tournaments throughout the spring and saw some fantastic talent from Oklahoma nearly every single weekend. Over the next few days, we’re taking a look back at the best prospects that we had a chance to see in person. And here’s a disclaimer before we begin, a lot of these prospects played for Sooner 7 because we saw plenty of Sooner 7 throughout the 7v7 circuit. But we do have a few other prospects from other travel programs. In this post, it’s the quarterback special and we look at some of the top QB’s that performed well when we got a chance to see them in person.
Cal Swanson Cal Swanson 6'2" | 175 lbs | QB Ardmore | 2023 State OK – 2023 – Ardmore (C4)
Our first quarterback is one of several 2023 QB’s that have been on our radar for a while now. Ardmore and C4 QB Cal Swanson Cal Swanson 6'2" | 175 lbs | QB Ardmore | 2023 State OK had an outstanding junior season and in the one tournament we got a chance to see him, the hype was backed up. Swanson’s lower release allows him to sling the ball all over the field. We were impressed with the progression he’s made from this time last year to now. He certainly looks like a quarterback on the rise in a 2023 class in Oklahoma that is simply loaded at the QB position. Prospects in southern Oklahoma can sometimes be overlooked compared to QB’s in the two major metro areas but Swanson should not be one of those overlooked prospects. He’s an athlete that continues to get better every time he’s on the field.
David McComb David McComb 6'3" | 215 lbs | QB Edmond Memorial | 2025 State OK – 2025 – Edmond Memorial (Sooner 7)
He’s the top rated 2025 quarterback in Oklahoma and a top five overall prospect in the state’s class and it’s hard to argue either of those after watching him this offseason. Edmond Memorial QB David McComb David McComb 6'3" | 215 lbs | QB Edmond Memorial | 2025 State OK has had an outstanding offseason, full of dominating at 7v7 tournaments and also doing very well in camp settings. McComb recently started receiving offers and that should be just the start for this Edmond product. McComb absolutely looks the part and after watching him play and make some really impressive throws, it’s crazy to think about what he’ll look like in another three years. We’ve mentioned this before on here and in conversations this spring but McComb has the chance to be one of the highest rated quarterbacks to come out of Oklahoma in the last decade.
Gage Gundy Gage Gundy 6'3" | 200 lbs | QB Stillwater | 2023 State OK – 2023 – Stillwater (Sooner 7)
We’re not familiar with 7v7 programs from other states but we’ll put the quarterback group with Sooner 7 up against just about anyone in the country. They had a wealth of talent at the QB position and one of their top guys was Stillwater 2023 QB Gage Gundy Gage Gundy 6'3" | 200 lbs | QB Stillwater | 2023 State OK . After watching Gundy in several tournaments throughout the spring, we’re confident that he has the strongest arm in Oklahoma. At times, you’d feel bad for his receiver’s hands because he would be firing missiles into them. But at the same time, it allowed him to make throws that other quarterbacks simply don’t have the arm to make. Gundy also showed plenty of touch on his passes so he wasn’t just showcasing the strength. Going into his second year as Stillwater’s QB1, Gundy’s stock should be going up.
Kirk Francis Kirk Francis 6'1" | 185 lbs | QB Metro Christian | 2023 State OK – 2023 – Metro Christian (Sooner 7)
Yet another top 2023 quarterback in Oklahoma is Metro Christian QB Kirk Francis Kirk Francis 6'1" | 185 lbs | QB Metro Christian | 2023 State OK . The Metro QB has been on our radar since he was a freshman and he is really living up to the early career hype. Francis is a top five quarterback prospect in the state’s 2023 class but doesn’t have the physical size that the top two prospects have. It shouldn’t matter. Because in my opinion, Francis has the best arm talent of the 2023 class and it doesn’t take very long watching him to see what we mean. Throughout the 7v7 season, Francis was outstanding and routinely one of the top performers every weekend. Francis was at his best when he was pushing the ball down the field and he made some of the biggest throws look routine throughout the spring. There’s no secret that we’re high on Francis but he backed that up over the last few months.
Knox Dyson Knox Dyson 6'3" | 185 lbs | QB Owasso | 2024 State OK – 2024 – Union (918 Elite)
The only 2024 prospect to make this breakdown is Union and 918 Elite quarterback Knox Dyson Knox Dyson 6'3" | 185 lbs | QB Owasso | 2024 State OK . Union might have a quarterback battle on their hands going into this spring and summer because Dyson was lights out during the two tournaments we caught 918 Elite playing. Working with primarily his teammates at Union, Dyson earned his way onto this list with his play throughout the spring. He has a strong arm and also had showed extreme patience during the tournament settings. He also benefitted from not having to rotate in and out with another quarterback during the majority of games. So Dyson certainly put the work in and got plenty of reps. Union does bring back last year’s starting quarterback but Dyson might push him for the job. We’ll see more of Union in two weeks at team camp.
Shaker Reisig Shaker Reisig 6'0" | 185 lbs | QB Union | 2025 State OK – 2025 – Jenks (Sooner 7)
Right there with David McComb David McComb 6'3" | 215 lbs | QB Edmond Memorial | 2025 State OK is Jenks 2025 quarterback Shaker Reisig Shaker Reisig 6'0" | 185 lbs | QB Union | 2025 State OK and man it was fun to watch them on the same team this offseason. Reisig is right there with McComb as a top five prospect overall and the two will more than likely be battling for the top QB position over the next three seasons. So the fact that they were on the same team at times and within the same program made it very fun to watch from an evaluation perspective. Reisig was outstanding throughout the 7v7 season when it came to leading an offense. We’ve used the word “surgical” at times with Reisig because he goes to work and just moves an offense methodically down the field. He didn’t have to uncork bomb after bomb. He knew where his receivers were at all times and found them in the right spots.
Steele Wasel Steele Wasel 6'4" | 210 lbs | QB Choctaw | 2023 State OK – 2023 – Choctaw (Sooner 7)
Our final quarterback prospect is currently the top QB prospect in the state, regardless of class. And he has been in that spot for a while now. Choctaw 2023 QB and Akron commit Steele Wasel Steele Wasel 6'4" | 210 lbs | QB Choctaw | 2023 State OK was as much of a veteran as you could ask for coming into this 7v7 season. He’s been playing with Sooner 7 for years and his familiarity with the program and the offense that they run was easy to see translate on the field. Wasel was about as flawless as you could be throughout the circuit as he had a nice combination of big throws and then taking what the defense gave him and keeping drives alive. Wasel was also very careful with the ball and wouldn’t force it into windows that were not there. Wasel was arguably the most accurate quarterback that we got to see throughout the spring.
