Five champions were crowned on Sunday and in a first for our Oklahoma tourneys, five different programs took home titles. In the 18U division, we saw some great quarterback play, despite the terrible windy conditions. We covered signal callers from <strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/04/theunit-918-platinum-takes-18u-title/">The UNIT</a></strong> &amp; <strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/04/looking-at-sooner-7s-18u-squads/">Sooner 7</a></strong> earlier this week but in this breakdown, we're putting the spotlight on three more quarterbacks that turned heads in Oklahoma, including a QB headed to the ACC this fall. Keep it locked in to Prep Redzone for more coverage from this weekend!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1586245' first='Cole' last='Slepecki'] - 2026 - Bentonville, AR. (GC7)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our first quarterback standout is Bentonville 2026 signal caller [player_tooltip player_id='1586245' first='Cole' last='Slepecki'] and while the majority of standouts from this weekend were from Oklahoma, this Arkansas QB caught our attention immediately. We got a chance to watch Slepecki for two games on Saturday and the first thing that really stood out was how much he got everyone involved on the offense. He was spreading the ball around to different receivers and that put a lot of pressure on opposing defenses because they couldn't focus on slowing down one guy. Then you throw in his rifle of an arm and you had a strong and accurate quarterback that kept defenses on their heels on Saturday. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1260997' first='Dylan' last='Taylor'] - 2027 - Union (918 Elite)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We don't know if Union 2027 quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='1260997' first='Dylan' last='Taylor'] is going to be QB1 for the Redhawks this fall. But we know he's going to absolutely battle for it every chance he gets. Taylor has continued to impress us at various Prep Redzone events. Whether it's the 7v7 tournaments or offseason camps, Taylor has routinely been one of the quarterbacks that we feature. And the truth is, it centers around his steady growth as a passer and from a physical standpoint. He looks bigger than when we first started watching him 15 months ago. Taylor had another good weekend at the PRZ7v7 event and the thing that stood out the most this weekend was his accuracy on the deep ball. It was on point. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='242231' first='Grady' last='Adamson'] - 2025 - Deer Creek (Yo Gameday)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We're used to seeing some of the best prospects at the PRZ 7v7 Circuit but this one was a head turner on Saturday and Sunday. Deer Creek QB and Georgia Tech signee [player_tooltip player_id='242231' first='Grady' last='Adamson'] got everyone's attention. Every now and then, you see current seniors play in these tournaments but very rarely do you see a P4 signee. Adamson was slinging the ball all over the field and showcasing the arm that's made him one of the top quarterbacks in the state's impressive 2025 class. He also got out there and ran around on defense at times. We asked Adamson why he was playing and he simply put that it was one last opportunity to play with his teammates and have some fun on the football field. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
