The 2025 regular season was full of outstanding performances by the senior class, which proved to be deep and talented. As the 2026 rankings have been updated, we give a rundown of the post-season Top 10.   <ol class="wp-block-list"> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='392779' first='Jackson' last='Cantwell'], OT Nixa 6'8" 300 - Miami Commit - The PRZ number ranked player in the 2026 class since his freshman season. This University of Miami commit has not only held on to the spot, but has gotten better and more deserving with each passing season, including his senior season. The massive offensive tackle is the total package prospect with his size, athleticism, strength, mobility, speed, quickness and skill set at a run blocker and pass pro skills. He hasn't rested on his laurels or lofty ranking nationally and has continued to work to get better and make his team better. His Eagles are 10-0 and in the thick of the Class 6 race. 2. [player_tooltip player_id='1112565' first='Titan' last='Davis'], DE De Smet 6'5" 260 - Michigan Commit - Talented defensive lineman who played his heart on in the live game I watched from the sidelines. Great size and explosive quickness and get off combined with a tenacious motor. Titan has good strength but will get even bigger and stronger in the Wolverine S&C program, so it will be interesting to see if he moves inside on the next level. A versatile athletic big who has good upside and ceiling to still reach Was a leader of his teams defense. One of the more heavily recruited players in the state in his class. Started out as a quarterback when I first met him as a freshman. Good team player who is very coachable. Finished the season with 44 total tackles and 6 sacks despite being double and triple teamed all year. 3. [player_tooltip player_id='1130114' first='Jacob' last='Eberhart'], ATH Kirkwood 6'3" 210 - Illinois Commit - One of the top and most versatile athletes in the state. Really excelled at both receiver and safety in 2025. Has shown the ability to be able to play multiple spots on each side of the ball, including cornerback or EDGE/OLB, but is just a football player whose natural ability and athleticism allows him to do it all wherever you put him. Great speed, hands and ball skills. Can really rush the quarterback and is a physical tacklers who likes to him. Looks like the Illini like him as a safety prospect, but he made some highlight reel catches at receiver, including a tremendous one-handed grab for a touchdown in the game I watched him play from the sidelines this year. 4. [player_tooltip player_id='392813' first='Keenan' last='Harris'], LB SLUH 6'2" 220 - Mizzou Commit - Another great two-way player who was so important for his team not only as it's defensive leader from his linebacker position, but really stepped up in a role I was unfamiliar with him playing before running the ball as a Wildcat and running back. I had seen how talented he can be as a wide receiver, but Keenan ran wild on the ground with the ball in his hand. He brought the same physical style of player you see at linebacker as a running back and was a punishing ball carrier for for defenders to try and bring down. He also used his speed, vision and knowledge as a defender to his advantage. Defensively he covers a lot of ground sideline to sideline against the run and is a tremendous defender against the pass and like having and extra safety. Defensively he accounted for 75 tackles and a pick. Offensively he scored 12 touchdowns on the ground. 5. [player_tooltip player_id='849688' first='Rocco' last='Marriott'], QB Platte County 6'4" 212 - James Madison Commit - One of the top quarterbacks in the Midwest both athletically and skill wise. Rocco puts up video game type numbers while not usually playing full games due to the lopsided scores his offense puts up on the board. The talented senior is not a true dual threat, but he uses his 4.59 forty speed to make big plays either by design or when protection breaks down. Defenses have to pick the way they want to deal with him as he can use his feet to keep plays alive and then hit a receiver with a 60-yard pass using his quick release. He's completed 80% of his passes so far this season while throwing for over 2,800 yards and 42 touchdowns while chasing back-to-back state championships. Colleges have taken notice with recent offers coming from West Virginia, UCF and Missouri. 6. [player_tooltip player_id='284045' first='Ronelle' last='Johnson'], DL Blue Springs 6'3" 270 - Indiana Commit - A dominant defender for his team all season and in helping them advance in the playoffs. Johnson is a high energy, high motor defensive lineman who can play inside or out along the D-line. He's quick and explosive with the technique and strength to shed blocks and pressure the quarterback or chase down ball carries. He is a tough match up for interior offensive linemen who have a hard time handling his ability to shoot the gap and get pass them in the blink of an eye. Indiana did a good job scouting and landing him earlier this summer. 7. [player_tooltip player_id='284039' first='DeZephen' last='Walker'], RB Raymore-Peculiar 6'0" 205 - Oklahoma Commit - A high level prospect since middle school. The speedy running back prospect finished up his high school career and I believe will excel even more on the college level playing at an impressive SEC school like Oklahoma, where DeZephen will be able to showcase his speed in open space on a more regular basis. He has great size and strength, with good vision and the ability to make defenders miss. Once he makes it into the secondary he is hard to catch once he hits top speed. He also has good returner ability and can catch the ball. 8. [player_tooltip player_id='284043' first='Nick' last='McClellan'], DB CBC 6'0" 185 - Kansas State Commit - I can say enough about how impressive the development of McClellan has been, not only as a football player and athlete, but particularly as a quarterback. The big time athlete and defensive back prospect was forced to play QB in the state championship game a few year ago due to injuries and really was out of his element. Since then he has trained hard and developed his skills to the point where some colleges were looking at him at that positon for college. He really has the ability to play QB, safety, receiver or cornerback. He is a high football IQ player who has impressive ball skills and is a physical defender, which is what the Wildcats saw as they locked down his commitment. 9. [player_tooltip player_id='604213' first='Mason' last='Marden'], LB Ladue 6'3" 225 - Arizona State Commit - This record setting linebacker prospect has had a monster senior season and is still helping his team fight in the playoffs. Mason is big, strong, fast and loves to hit. He's one of the most physical defenders in his class and flies to the ball like a heat seeking missile. He covers a lot of ground and punishes playmakers and can rush the quarterback well, but he also has surprising and impressive cover skills in pass defense. He is the type of playmaker most defenses would love to have. His senior stats are off the charts with 174 total tackles with 2 sacks, 3 fumble recoveries and interception. 10. [player_tooltip player_id='1128413' first='Garrick' last='Dixon'], CB Ft. Zumwalt West 6'1" 175 - Kansas State Commit - One of the top overall athletes in the Midwest. This lockdown cornerback has crazy verified testing numbers of an 11-foot broad jump (NFL type number), 36" vertical jump and a 4.46 forty yard dash. That type of athleticism along with his impressive skill set he has developed has made him one of the top 10 prospect in the state for the class of 2026. Garrick has also helped his team on offense with his speed and top flight ball skills. He is also a physical defender against the run with good technique. Defensively, Dixon recorded 55 total tackles and 4 interceptions. On offense he scored 10 touchdowns and had almost 800 yards receiving. He was also the Wildcats top kick returner and their punter. He's a prospect to watch develop in college given his impressive abilities which keep getting better. </li> </ol>
