With Mullen back and very comfortable in this Cascia Hall offense, along with the majority of Cascia Hall's weapons at wide receiver, we expect more records to fall this season. Mullen has really established himself as one of the high ceiling quarterback prospects in the state's 2026 class. We should see his production go up this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='434614' first='CJ' last='Turnbull'] - Quarterback - Millwood</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Whenever you're talking about the state's 2026 class, there might not be another player, let alone another quarterback that has more career starts already than Millwood quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='434614' first='CJ' last='Turnbull'] and he's only halfway done with his high school career. The expectations are for Millwood to contend for the state title again this season. Turnbull made a big jump from freshman year to sophomore year and now looks to do the same this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='756912' first='Elijah' last='Muhammad'] - Athlete - Checotah</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='756912' first='Elijah' last='Muhammad'] made the move this offseason from Muskogee to Checotah and he could end up being an instant impact player for the Wildcats this season. Checotah already has one of the best playmakers in the state and adding a player like Muhammad, who can do a lot of things well just makes them deeper. This spring, Muhammad saw his recruitment start to take off and it might not be slowing down anytime soon. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='805100' first='Ben' last='Daniels'] - Wide Receiver - Collinsville</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Collinsville wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='805100' first='Ben' last='Daniels'] is definitely a name to know going into this season. When you look at his production, specifically in the second half of the season last year, you see a wide receiver on the rise. And with Collinsville losing their top wide receiver to graduation, we expect Daniels to fit into that spot this season. He has next level talent and we think this could end up being a big year from a production standpoint. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='206345' first='Conner' last='Quintero'] - Quarterback - Heritage Hall</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='206345' first='Conner' last='Quintero'] has been one of the more intriguing quarterback prospects in the state's 2026 class since even before his freshman season. Quintero has absolutely lit it up in the offseason at various 7v7 tournaments and camps. He's earned the attention of college coaches. But he's waiting to have that breakout moment underneath the Friday night lights. He gets a fresh start this fall at Heritage Hall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='402387' first='Trey' last='McGlothlin'] - Athlete - Bixby</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bixby athlete [player_tooltip player_id='402387' first='Trey' last='McGlothlin'] is a prospect that feels primed to breakout at some point this fall. McGlothlin is an athlete that we've watched over the last 18 months and he's developed into a player that can make an impact in a variety of spots. Offense, defense or special teams, McGlothlin can do a little bit of everything. For Bixby this fall, we expect him to bring that impact to the defense and special teams specifically. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='478923' first='Anthony' last='Johnson'] - Running Back - Norman</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Running back [player_tooltip player_id='478923' first='Anthony' last='Johnson'] is another player that made a move this offseason. He went from Southmoore to Norman and that makes the Tigers another team to watch in Class 6A-1. When he was healthy, Johnson was a terrific running back last season. If he stays healthy this year, he could end up being a breakout player at a running back position in the 2026 class that keeps getting deeper and deeper. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='840706' first='Tristan' last='Thompson'] - Offensive Lineman - Kansas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kansas offensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='840706' first='Tristan' last='Thompson'] is a prospect that we first watched in the spring of last year. He was just finishing up his freshman year in high school and he already looked the part from a physical standpoint. This season, the Comets have a chance to be one of the top teams in their respective class. Thompson is going to be the anchor on the offensive line for an offense that could be very dangerous.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='382955' first='Brady' last='Scott'] - Wide Receiver - Hilldale</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We wrote about him just a few weeks ago following our spring camp tour. But the message remains the same here. Hilldale wide receiver is one of the more underrated playmakers in Class 4A and in the state's 2026 class. Scott has speed for days and he also packs a punch and isn't just a speedy wide receiver that can't take a hit. In fact, in a lot of cases, he's looking to dish out a hit while he's making a big play happen. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='505619' first='Jack' last='Mendoza'] - Offensive Lineman - Jones</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We go back to the line of scrimmage for our last prospect on this breakdown. Jones offensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='505619' first='Jack' last='Mendoza'] is a lineman prospect to keep an eye on this season. First off, Jones usually has one of the better offenses in their class and this season is no exception. And Mendoza is a prospect that we think has a high ceiling as an interior offensive lineman at the next level. This could be a big season for him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
