The Prep Redzone Stock Up Showcase tour rolled through Oklahoma over the weekend and we saw some outstanding football throughout the event. Athletes from all over Oklahoma, and some of the surrounding states and beyond came to Broken Arrow to go up against top competition and be coached and evaluated from college coaches in this region. Throughout the next few days, we'll have a ton of prospect breakdowns on Prep Redzone and video content dropping on our <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@PrepRedzoneOklahoma">YouTube Channel</a>. Our coverage began with a look at <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/02/stock-up-showcase-positional-mvps/">the positional MVPs from Sunday's event</a>. We continue our coverage here with a look the offensive skill positions. We had a very deep and talented group at wide receiver but we also saw a handful of running backs stand out throughout the three hours in Broken Arrow.   [player_tooltip player_id='1981821' first='Alijah' last='Princeston Steele'] - 2029 Running Back - Westmoore   Our first offensive standout is one of a handful of running backs to shine bright on Sunday. Westmoore freshman [player_tooltip player_id='1981821' first='Alijah' last='Princeston Steele'] immediately got our attention on Sunday with his size and speed. We caught Steele on film in the last month when doing our 2029 breakdowns. Looking at him up close on Sunday, he simply looked bigger than we anticipated and when you combine that with the speed he showcased, you have a running back that we are very intrigued with moving forward. This will be a running theme moving forward. Westmoore's freshmen class has dudes and Steele is one of them.   [player_tooltip player_id='1679361' first='Brody' last='Merritt'] - 2029 Wide Receiver - Pocola   Pocola freshman wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='1679361' first='Brody' last='Merritt'] was a 2029 prospect on our radar after he had a very productive freshman season. He was one of the state's leading receivers in the freshman class. We wanted to watch him in person, going up against DB after DB and see how his overall game stacked up compared to the production we saw in the fall. He checked that box and is going to be a fun player to watch moving forward. Pocola isn't shy about throwing the ball around either. Merritt has the tools to be one of the top wide receivers in Class A-1 as soon as this fall.   [player_tooltip player_id='1833738' first='Cyrus' last='Johnson'] - 2029 Wide Receiver - Stillwater   Stillwater freshman [player_tooltip player_id='1833738' first='Cyrus' last='Johnson'] debuted in our 2029 rankings last week as a top ten overall prospect. We think he's one of the best two-way players in the class already but on Sunday, he was working almost exclusively at the wide receiver position. Johnson is incredibly smooth with his route running and he makes difficult catches look very easy. That was our biggest takeaway with his game on Sunday. He's the type of wide receiver that has a catch radius that is just bigger than most other receivers his age. He knows how to find the ball and make a play on it at the exact right time.   [player_tooltip player_id='1692341' first='Gracian' last='Jones'] - 2028 Wide Receiver - Ketchum   Ketchum sophomore wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='1692341' first='Gracian' last='Jones'] is another perfect example of why we love doing these showcases and events in general in the offseason. We didn't know about Jones coming into Sunday's event and we were immediately impressed with the Ketchum product. We got a chance to watch a few of his reps during the 1 on 1 portion of camp and Jones does a great job of catching the ball in traffic. His performance Sunday made us want to see more of him in the future and we're going to go back and check out his film from this past season because he's a hidden gem.   [player_tooltip player_id='1461909' first='Hunter' last='Purvis'] - 2027 Wide Receiver - Jones   We could make a very strong argument that Jones junior wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='1461909' first='Hunter' last='Purvis'] was the camp's overall MVP on Sunday. Purvis was without a doubt the best tester and then he followed it up with an absolutely dominant performance in 1 on 1 drills. You'll want to check out YouTube Channel for highlights of Sunday's event because Purvis made the best catch that we caught on camera. We walked away from the camp having a significantly higher opinion of Purvis moving forward as a prospect. The camp is called "Stock Up Showcase" and nobody raised their stock more than Purvis.   [player_tooltip player_id='2108477' first='Ian' last='Willis'] - 2027 Wide Receiver - Deer Creek   Deer Creek junior wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='2108477' first='Ian' last='Willis'] is the first of two Antlers on this breakdown that stood out at the wide receiver position. Willis is a wide receiver with good size and uses his route running to create natural separation. When we were watching Willis go through the different 1 on 1 match-ups, it seemed like the on-field IQ was incredibly high to simply get open and make a play on the ball. That really stood out to us considering each wide receiver was working with different quarterbacks throughout the day. It didn't matter who was throwing the ball to Willis, he was getting open.   [player_tooltip player_id='1684110' first='Jackson' last='Parks'] - 2027 Wide Receiver - Pryor   In our opinion, Pryor junior wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='1684110' first='Jackson' last='Parks'] was one of the breakout stars of the 2025 season so we were fired up to watch him go to work in person on Sunday. Parks immediately caught our attention with a good time in the 40-yard dash. And when you consider Parks was one of the bigger wide receivers in attendance, that's a scary combination to look out for moving forward. We believe that Parks is one of the more underrated 2027 prospects and he definitely has a lot of momentum going right now to have that breakout moment as a prospect this spring and summer.   [player_tooltip player_id='1664120' first='Josiah' last='Chester'] - 2027 Wide Receiver - Del City   Del City 2027 wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='1664120' first='Josiah' last='Chester'] first got on our radar last spring at our showcase event and he followed it up with another solid performance on Sunday. And when it comes to wide receivers at these showcases, you can stand out in several different ways. For Chester, he didn't have the best quarterback luck and wouldn't always have the best balls coming his way. But that didn't take away from his evaluation. Time after time, Chester was getting open and it didn't matter who was throwing him the ball or what route he was running. He found a way to get yards of separation in the blink of an eye.   [player_tooltip player_id='2124780' first='Khalil' last='Spurrier'] - 2028 Running Back - Pryor   Pryor sophomore running back [player_tooltip player_id='2124780' first='Khalil' last='Spurrier'] is a 2028 prospect that we first saw in person last fall. He was breaking away from defenders in garbage time of a big Pryor victory. We were impressed that night and we were impressed on Sunday seeing him in action. Spurrier performed very well and was one of a handful of running backs that really stood out. The running back group wasn't big but the talent at the top was definitely noticeable. Spurrier is a running back that we really like moving forward. He's a prime candidate for being a breakout player this fall.   [player_tooltip player_id='1164646' first='Mason' last='Mayhew'] - 2028 Wide Receiver - Deer Creek   Deer Creek sophomore wide receiver is not a stranger to standing out at our Prep Redzone events. We feel like every time we've seen Mayhew in person, he's better than the last time and that was the case once again on Sunday. Mayhew continues to impress us with his breakaway speed and his ability to beat just about every defender he sees in a foot race. While his teammate Willis is more of a methodical route runner to create separation, Mayhew uses his speed and twitchy moves to get himself open. His improvement over the last year was noticeable and grabbed our attention.   [player_tooltip player_id='1177875' first='Max' last='Whitekiller'] - 2027 Wide Receiver - Collinsville   Collinsville junior wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='1177875' first='Max' last='Whitekiller'] is a 2027 prospect that we are very intrigued with moving forward. First off, he caught just about everything thrown his way on Sunday and when you combine that with how well he runs, you have a prospect that is on the rise. The thing we like about Whitekiller is the potential element. Collinsville loses quite a bit from their skill department to graduation. That's going to open the door for Whitekiller to become the go-to target for the Cardinals. And if Sunday was any indication, he's more than ready and will grab that opportunity and run with it.   [player_tooltip player_id='2104925' first='Tyler' last='Belew'] - 2028 Wide Receiver - Pryor   Pryor sophomore wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='2104925' first='Tyler' last='Belew'] is the final Pryor Tiger on this breakdown as they had an outstanding performance as a whole on Sunday afternoon. For Belew, things started for him during the testing portion of the showcase. He immediately got our attention with some of his times. He would then follow that up with sure hands during individual drills and then 1 on 1 competition. Belew was definitely one of the shiftiest wide receivers in Sunday's showcase. And this was a group that had a lot of talent in that typical slot receiver spot. Belew was near the top of the list.
