AJ Lyons-Jerrell
AJ
Lyons-Jerrell
6'0" | 195 lbs | RB
Pocola | 2025
State
OK
– 2025 Running Back – Pocola
7 Carries – 154 Yards – 4 Touchdowns – 30 Yard Passing Touchdown
Pocola moving down to Class A has immediately made them a team to watch this fall in that class and a big reason behind that is the 2025 running back AJ Lyons-Jerrell AJ Lyons-Jerrell 6'0" | 195 lbs | RB Pocola | 2025 State OK . He had a breakout freshman season and appears to be one of the top running backs in a very loaded 2025 class. Jerrell had an excellent scrimmage last week and this could be just the start of what’s to come from him this fall. He finished with over 150 yards and four touchdowns and only had seven carries. He also threw a 30-yard touchdown pass. It’s clear that Pocola is going to get creative with how they use their potential superstar at running back.
Blaze Berlowitz

6'3" | 195 lbs | QB
Cushing | 2023
State
OK
– 2023 Quarterback – Cushing
12-17 – 294 Yards – 3 Touchdowns
One player that found his way on this weekly list quite a bit last season was Cushing 2023 quarterback Blaze Berlowitz Blaze Berlowitz 6'3" | 195 lbs | QB Cushing | 2023 State OK . There’s no doubt that Berlowitz has quite the supporting cast at wide receiver but he continues to put up monster numbers at the quarterback position. Berlowitz threw for nearly 300 yards and three touchdowns as the top ranked Tigers look to be a serious threat in Class 4A. They’re looking to put the memories of last year’s playoffs behind them as they have one more scrimmage tuneup before opening up the 2022 season in week one against Bristow.
Chance Wilson

Wilson

Rejoice Christian | 2023
State
OK
– 2023 Quarterback – Rejoice Christian
11-13 – 257 Yards – 5 Touchdowns – 96 Rushing Yards – 2 Rushing Touchdowns
It shouldn’t be a surprise at this point when Rejoice Christian quarterback and Montana State commit Chance Wilson Chance Wilson 6'3" | 185 lbs | QB Rejoice Christian | 2023 State OK puts up insane numbers but here we are. They only played two quarters against Sperry and Wilson threw for over 250 yards and five touchdowns and also added nearly 100 yards and a pair of rushing touchdowns. Wilson was a finalist for our Player Of The Year award last year and it looks like he’s picked up right where he left off from his phenomenal junior season. Rejoice Christian will also be playing in one of week zero’s top games as the Eagles will travel to face two-time Class A champ Cashion.
DJ McKinney

Union | 2023
State
OK
– 2023 Running Back – Union
12 Touches – 200 Yards – 3 Touchdowns
Union would end up going into overtime with Bentonville, Arkansas in their mini game on Thursday night. Star running back DJ McKinney DJ McKinney 6'0" | RB Union | 2023 State OK finished off an excellent scrimmage with the game-winning touchdown in the overtime period. That would cap off a night where he was a threat in the run and pass game. McKinney finished with 200 total yards on 12 touchdowns and three total touchdowns, including the game-winning TD in overtime. McKinney and the Redhawks will open up their 2022 season at home on Friday night, welcoming in Westmoore before facing rivals Broken Arrow and Jenks in back to back weeks.
Rhett Winchester
Rhett
Winchester
5'11" | 180 lbs | RB
Edmond Memorial | 2025
OK
– 2025 Athlete – Edmond Memorial
15 Touches – 227 Yards
We’ve written quite a bit about Edmond Memorial’s young talent and how the Bulldogs could be primed for a breakout year and surprise quite a few teams. One of those young and talented prospects is 2025 athlete Rhett Winchester Rhett Winchester 5'11" | 180 lbs | RB Edmond Memorial | 2025 OK and he got loose quite a bit during the scrimmage week. He touched the ball 15 times and would finish with nearly 230 total yards. Winchester is another 2025 prospect to keep an eye on moving forward. He was already on our radar and after a stellar start like that, we have even more reason to be excited about the Bulldogs. They open up the season at home this week against Moore.
