Five champions were crowned on Sunday and in a first for our Oklahoma tourneys, five different programs took home titles. In 18U, TheUNIT 918 Platinum would capture their second PRZ 7v7 title after winning the Sooner State Shootout last year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It wasn't easy for them as they had to win four straight games in the span of two hours to take home the title. And that included beating a Sooner 7 team in the quarterfinals that they lost to on Saturday. They would then beat a different Sooner 7 squad that was the top seed. Below, we take a look at the five guys that stood out the most while we were watching. Keep it locked in to Prep Redzone for more coverage from this weekend!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='693998' first='Braxton' last='Daniel'] - 2027 Tight End - Jenks</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We've been relatively high on Jenks 2027 tight end [player_tooltip player_id='693998' first='Braxton' last='Daniel'] for a while now but this weekend was the best performance we've seen from him in person. Daniel checks a lot of the boxes and there is definitely a large upside moving forward but it also looks like he's starting to turn the corner and take that next step forward as an overall athlete. This weekend, Daniel was a match-up problem for smaller defenders. He used his size and athleticism to his advantage. He was a nightmare to deal with inside the 10-yard line and there were times when the play was simple. Throw it up and let Daniel go get it. Daniel definitely has some momentum heading into spring ball next month. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='595677' first='Levi' last='Brooks'] - 2026 Quarterback - Booker T Washington</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Booker T Washington 2026 quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='595677' first='Levi' last='Brooks'] played the role of the closer this weekend in Broken Arrow. Brooks came out on Sunday and in the games that we watched, he wasn't starting the game but he would routinely finish it. And in the championship game in particular, Brooks came in and led a comeback victory over Sooner 7. And the thing that we liked the most about Brooks and his game Sunday was the poise. There were multiple times when they had their backs against the wall and they always answered with Brooks staying calm, cool and collected. He has routinely played well at our 7v7 tournaments and this weekend was no different. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='402384' first='Skyler' last='Moorman'] - 2026 Quarterback - Union</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If Brooks was the closer, that meant Union 2026 signal caller [player_tooltip player_id='402384' first='Skyler' last='Moorman'] was the starter and he had a really good day on Saturday. We got a chance to watch them up close for two games on the first day and each time, Moorman was able to execute really well and he was dropping dots all over the field. This was our first time seeing Moorman in person after he announced he was moving over to Union from Collinsville. Moorman has had a very successful career and when he was healthy last year, he was incredibly productive. It will be fun to see how he responds to the challenge of moving up to Class 6A-1 and competing against some of the state's best. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='858876' first='Tayveon' last='Parry'] - 2026 Running Back - Union</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another Union prospect that continued to stand out is 2026 running back [player_tooltip player_id='858876' first='Tayveon' last='Parry'] and this guy stood out on both sides of the ball. In the championship game in particular, Parry was the best player on the field. He made an impact on offense, consistently getting wide open and still able to pick up yards after the catch. Parry also played defense and after watching the video we shot, Parry was all over the place, making plays on the ball. Parry was one of the breakout stars from the 2024 season. And as we've mentioned in the past, Parry was an absolute monster for Union in the passing game as a pass catcher. He's very underrated in the state's 2026 class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1297670' first='Tristian' last='Birmingham'] - 2027 Wide Receiver - Sand Springs</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last week at the MoKan 7v7 tournament, Sand Springs 2027 wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='1297670' first='Tristian' last='Birmingham'] was named the MVP for the 18U division. He clearly took that momentum into this weekend because he was one of the best players that we watched in person this weekend. On Saturday, Birmingham was incredibly dangerous with his route versatility. He could beat defenses in a variety of ways. After one game in particular, Birmingham said he was the best player in the tournament. He might not be wrong. The Sandite standout also stood out on defense as a defensive back. We're continuing to buy all the stock we can on Birmingham because he's taking that next step as a prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
