OFFENSE   QB - [player_tooltip player_id='473754' first='Cruz' last='Campbell'] - Senior - Tuttle   Tuttle senior quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='473754' first='Cruz' last='Campbell'] was the state's top quarterback in 2025. The Tuttle senior threw for over 3,100 yards and 42 touchdowns while completing over 71 percent of his passes and only one interception. More importantly, Campbell helped lead the Tigers to an undefeated season and the Class 4A state championship. In his last two seasons at Tuttle, he had a 27-1 record as QB1, finishing with over 80 passing touchdowns and reaching the title game each year.   RB - [player_tooltip player_id='693905' first='Delijah' last='Matthews'] - Junior - Carl Albert   Carl Albert junior running back [player_tooltip player_id='693905' first='Delijah' last='Matthews'] was without a doubt the breakout star of the 2025 football season. We thought that Matthews had a chance to have that breakout moment but we didn't anticipate over 2,000 yards and 40+ touchdowns on the ground. Matthews broke Carl Albert's single season rushing touchdown record in the semifinals and then padded that number as the Titans captured their 20th state championship in program history. Matthews already has eyes on #21.   RB - [player_tooltip player_id='402378' first='KD' last='Jones'] - Senior - Jenks   Jenks senior running back [player_tooltip player_id='402378' first='KD' last='Jones'] had a season to remember as he completely rewrote the Jenks rushing record books. Jones is a 1st Team All State selection for the second consecutive season. Jones became the school's all time leading rusher in just three seasons. Imagine what he could have done with four years in the Jenks backfield. Jones ran for north of 2,000 yards and had one of the best individual performances of the year in their regular season win over Mustang.   RB - [player_tooltip player_id='472321' first='Ritson' last='Meyer'] - Senior - Elgin   Elgin senior running back [player_tooltip player_id='472321' first='Ritson' last='Meyer'] has been a touchdown machine throughout his career but this season, he took his talents to a completely new level. Despite the Owls losing multiple D1 signees on the offensive line, Meyer finished this year with 47 total touchdowns, including scoring 41 touchdowns on the ground. He finished with nearly 1,700 yards and has been arguably the state's best "workhorse" running back over the last two seasons. He totaled over 100 touchdowns in his career.   WR - [player_tooltip player_id='1530080' first='Dom' last='Forbes'] - Junior - Sand Springs   Sand Springs junior wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='1530080' first='Dom' last='Forbes'] is another player on the first team that has rewritten the record book at his respective school and he still has one more year to pad those numbers. Forbes has been one of the state's very best wide receivers over the last two seasons. And during their 2025 run, Forbes was incredibly important as the Sandites climbed the mountain and won the first state championship in nearly six decades. There are no more questions, Forbes is one of the state's absolute best.   WR - [player_tooltip player_id='1403519' first='Xavier' last='Okwufulueze'] - Senior - Rejoice Christian   Rejoice Christian senior [player_tooltip player_id='1403519' first='Xavier' last='Okwufulueze'] helped lead the Eagles to another state championship. You can make the argument that one of his best individual performances was in the state championship win over Tonkawa. He was a machine on offense and also made big plays on defense. That's been his story over the last two years. He can impact both sides of the ball but when it came down to it, his impact as a constant mismatch on offense gave him the nod at wide receiver.   OL - [player_tooltip player_id='1530067' first='Cooper' last='Hackett'] - Junior - Fort Gibson   Around this time last year, Fort Gibson junior offensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='1530067' first='Cooper' last='Hackett'] became one of the more sought-after 2027 OL prospects in the country. Hackett's ceiling moving forward is off the charts from an athletic standpoint. And throughout his junior season, he was the foundation for an offense that was one of the more underrated units in Class 4A. Hackett was committed to Texas Tech before flipping to Oklahoma during his junior season.   OL - [player_tooltip player_id='591882' first='Dawson' last='Matthews'] - Senior - Ada   Ada senior offensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='591882' first='Dawson' last='Matthews'] is one of several guys on this first team that started for all four seasons. Matthews was also a big part of Ada having a lot of success on the offensive side of the ball over the last few seasons. Matthews was the leader on an offensive line that paved the way for Ada to be equally as dominant in the pass game as they were in the run game. Matthews is headed to the next level after dominating week in and week out at the high school level.   OL - [player_tooltip player_id='1304600' first='Kaden' last='Moody'] - Senior - Broken Arrow   Broken Arrow senior [player_tooltip player_id='1304600' first='Kaden' last='Moody'] is the first of three Tigers to earn 1st Team honors. Moody was the key piece of a Broken Arrow offensive line that was one of the more improved units during the 2025 season. Offensively, the Tigers were able to be incredibly balanced and Moody was a big key for that. And when you look at their lineup across the offensive line, you saw a lot of talent across the board. Moody seemed like the leader of that group on and off the field.   OL - [player_tooltip player_id='528027' first='Kaeden' last='Penny'] - Junior - Bixby   Bixby junior [player_tooltip player_id='528027' first='Kaeden' last='Penny'] is the first of three Spartans to earn 1st Team honors. Penny has firmly established himself as one of the best offensive lineman prospects in the state. When we caught him in person during the 2025 season, we saw a player that was a nightmare for opponents on both sides of the ball. But Penny was excelling against the top competition when he lined up on offense. Bixby producing another top-notch OL prospect should surprise nobody.   OL - [player_tooltip player_id='467408' first='Ryley' last='Kester'] - Senior - Jenks   Jenks senior [player_tooltip player_id='467408' first='Ryley' last='Kester'] started for two seasons at Sand Springs before starting the last two years at Jenks. Kester has also seen plenty of playing time at almost every single position along the offensive line. No matter where he lined up, he was always the baddest man on the offensive line. We've written about Kester playing with a mean streak that makes him so fun to watch. But let's also face it, with the season that Jones had at running back, we had to have a Jenks OL represented here as well.   DEFENSE   DL - [player_tooltip player_id='1699009' first='Bruce' last='Lee Roberts III'] - Senior - Edmond Memorial   An absolute monster in the interior of the defensive line, Edmond Memorial senior [player_tooltip player_id='1699009' first='Bruce' last='Lee Roberts III'] was a terror for opposing offenses all season. The first thing Roberts did was make life miserable for opposing quarterbacks by routinely getting into the backfield. But when opponents would punt, Roberts was still there, getting into the backfield like his life depended on it, finishing with five blocked punts this season. Roberts played at a very high level all season at Oklahoma's top level.   DL - [player_tooltip player_id='1539931' first='Lebron' last='Royal'] - Senior - Carl Albert   Carl Albert senior [player_tooltip player_id='1539931' first='Lebron' last='Royal'] was a big part of arguably the best defensive unit in Carl Albert history in 2024. He came back as a senior determined to not let the Titans fall off in any capacity and he certainly did his job. For the second straight year, Royal was one of the best defensive linemen in the state. He was among the state's best when it came to getting after the quarterback. He got to his target plenty of times and even when he didn't, he made things very uncomfortable.   DL - [player_tooltip player_id='1179993' first='Nakwaine' last='Carter'] - Senior - Southmoore   Southmoore senior defensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='1179993' first='Nakwaine' last='Carter'] was one of the more disruptive players in the state and he did it week after week over the last few seasons. We got a chance to watch Carter in person a couple times in 2025 and in both instances, Carter was arguably the best player on the field. Carter owned the middle of the defensive line and with that, he owned the line of scrimmage. There was no question that Carter belonged among the best in the state on the defensive line.   LB - [player_tooltip player_id='473879' first='Case' last='Alexander'] - Junior - Washington   Washington junior linebacker [player_tooltip player_id='473879' first='Case' last='Alexander'] had another stellar season, despite the Warriors having to settle for the silver ball in a memorable 2A-1 state title game. Alexander continues to be a linebacker that plays the game with an energy that never slows down. This season, we also saw the Washington junior have a much more expanded role on the offensive side of the ball. He became one of the top pass catchers on the team but he remained at his best on defense.   LB - [player_tooltip player_id='414994' first='Cord' last='Nolan'] - Senior - Bixby   Bixby head coach Loren Montgomery told us during the 2025 season that senior linebacker [player_tooltip player_id='414994' first='Cord' last='Nolan'] was the "alpha" of this championship team. And when you consider just how talented and experienced that roster was during their 2025 title run, anybody that is considered the "alpha" is going to grab our attention. Nolan has been playing for the Spartans since he was a freshman and his role continued to expand over the last four years, until he was one of the unquestioned best players in Oklahoma.   LB - [player_tooltip player_id='1176238' first='Israel' last='Hammons'] - Junior - Choctaw   Choctaw junior linebacker [player_tooltip player_id='1176238' first='Israel' last='Hammons'] has settled into his role as one of the state's best linebackers. But when it comes to Hammons, there is no doubt that he can play just about anywhere on the field and at any position. In fact, Hammons has done that in the past for the Yellowjackets. But when we watched Hammons at various times this season, he was routinely making big play after big play and it was from the linebacker position. He took a monster step forward as a junior.   LB - [player_tooltip player_id='587272' first='Luke' last='DeBusk'] - Senior - Jones   Jones senior linebacker [player_tooltip player_id='587272' first='Luke' last='DeBusk'] finished off his career with the Longhorns as a four-year starter and he finished on top. The Longhorns dethroned Washington and won the 2A-1 state championship. DeBusk finished this season with nearly 100 tackles, leading the team in that category once again. And if you watched the Longhorns in person or on film this season, you saw #12 everywhere. He's been one of the best linebackers in the state for a while now and he went out on top.   DB - [player_tooltip player_id='415161' first='Braeden' last='Presley'] - Senior - Bixby   Bixby senior [player_tooltip player_id='415161' first='Braeden' last='Presley'] picked up right where he left off at the end of his junior season. From the opening game of Presley's senior year, it was clear that he was going to be one of the best two-way players in the state of Oklahoma. It didn't matter if it was on offense or defense, Presley found a way to have a major impact. He even had an impact in the special teams department throughout the year. Presley got the nod here as a first team selection on defense.   DB - [player_tooltip player_id='1179994' first='Da'Jon' last='Green'] - Senior - Choctaw   Choctaw senior [player_tooltip player_id='1179994' first='Da'Jon' last='Green'] firmly established himself as one of the best two-way players in the state during his senior campaign. We've known that Green was a lockdown cornerback and he was once again that this season. But Green also added a true playmaker element to the offensive side of the ball. But like several other defenders on this breakdown that might have seen time on both sides of the ball, Green was at his absolute best when he was on defense and locking down an opposing WR.   DB - [player_tooltip player_id='485526' first='Noah' last='Gillespie'] - Junior - Broken Arrow   Broken Arrow cornerback [player_tooltip player_id='485526' first='Noah' last='Gillespie'] had a breakout junior season, firmly establishing himself as one of the top lockdown corners in the state. It didn't matter who he was lined up against or who the opponent was, Gillespie routinely came out on top. Gillespie joined Broken Arrow in the summer before his junior season and immediately became a guy that the Tigers could rely on defensively. He's also the first of two Tiger DB's to earn All State 1st Team honors.   DB - [player_tooltip player_id='478124' first='Semaj' last='Stanford'] - Junior - Broken Arrow   Broken Arrow junior [player_tooltip player_id='478124' first='Semaj' last='Stanford'] made the move from Jenks to BA nine months ago and has continue to elevate his game. He joins Gillespie as 1st Team selections from a BA secondary that was loaded with next level talent. Not only did Stanford take charge in a BA secondary that was very talented, he was also special on offense and in special teams. Stanford has earned All State 1st Team honors two straight seasons and will look for a third straight year in 2026.   KICKER/ATHLETES   K - [player_tooltip player_id='1830473' first='Cooper' last='Housley'] - Senior - Lincoln Christian   Lincoln Christian senior [player_tooltip player_id='1830473' first='Cooper' last='Housley'] was a huge weapon for the 3A state champs in the special teams department. He was routinely putting kickoffs into the back of the end zone for touch backs. He went 82-85 on PATs throughout the season and when it came to Lincoln Christian's offense, they weren't settling for field goals very often. Housley was also someone Lincoln Christian could rely on to bomb a field goal attempt if the offense had a rare moment of stalling out.   ATH - [player_tooltip player_id='858870' first='Blaine' last='Hipp'] - Senior - Hominy   Hominy senior [player_tooltip player_id='858870' first='Blaine' last='Hipp'] is one of the most underrated players in the state because if you've seen him in person, you would wonder why he's not being talked about as one of the best in Oklahoma. Offensively, Hipp has played a ton of positions but he was a true dual-threat quarterback for the Bucks in 2025. Defensively, he was a hybrid defender that looked just as comfortable playing linebacker or dropping back in coverage. He helped guide Hominy to a Class A-2 runner up finish.   ATH - [player_tooltip player_id='1328091' first='Cooper' last='McCord'] - Senior - Adair   Adair senior quarterback and linebacker [player_tooltip player_id='1328091' first='Cooper' last='McCord'] helped guide the Warriors to a perfect 14-0 record and a Class 2A-2 state championship. Offensively, McCord was a physical quarterback that could beat defenses with his arm or when he took off downfield or in short yardage situations. Defensively, McCord was an outstanding linebacker that had an energy that never seemed to slow down. McCord also had one of the best individual performances during the two championship weekends.   ATH - [player_tooltip player_id='1328118' first='Kamieon' last='Compton-Nero'] - Sophomore - Rejoice Christian   Rejoice Christian quarterback and defensive back [player_tooltip player_id='1328118' first='Kamieon' last='Compton-Nero'] is the only sophomore to earn All State 1st Team honors. He helped guide the Eagles to another state championship in 2025 and he did it playing at a very high level at multiple positions. Offensively, he took over as QB1 and was one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks in the state. Defensively, he was still just as productive from the secondary. He was equally dominant on both sides of the ball.   ATH - [player_tooltip player_id='1524935' first='Landen' last='Griffith'] - Junior - Talihina   Talihina junior quarterback and defensive back [player_tooltip player_id='1524935' first='Landen' last='Griffith'] might have had the best statistical season of anyone in 2025. But more important than numbers, Griffith led the Golden Tigers to a 14-0 record and the Class A-2 state championship. But offensively, he threw for over 4,100 yards and 53 touchdowns while also running for more than 1,300 yards and 22 touchdowns. He also had 74 tackles and six interceptions on defense. He's accounted for 126 offensive touchdowns in the last two seasons.   ATH - [player_tooltip player_id='1569774' first='Maddax' last='Mobly'] - Senior - Sulphur   We've said this a few times over the last two years but just in case you're new here, Sulphur senior [player_tooltip player_id='1569774' first='Maddax' last='Mobly'] is one of the best "big game players" that we've seen over the last few seasons. Mobly has been a big reason why the Bulldogs made back to back trips to the Class 3A state championship game. Offensively, Mobly is equally effective as a traditional running back or making catches out of the backfield. He's also an absolute terror on the defensive side of the ball.
