RELATED   <a href="https://youtu.be/Wk1hd0DLj9Y" data-type="link" data-id="https://youtu.be/Wk1hd0DLj9Y">- 2026 Preseason All State 2nd Team Highlights</a>   OFFENSE   QB - [player_tooltip player_id='1235926' first='Drew' last='Frankenfield'] - Senior - Owasso [player_tooltip player_id='1235926' first='Drew' last='Frankenfield'] is the most experienced quarterback coming into this season in Class 6A-1. He'll be a three-year starter for Owasso and has taken the Rams to the last two state championship games. This season, he's looking to lead the Rams back to the title game and raise the gold ball to cap off a very successful high school career.   RB - [player_tooltip player_id='474870' first='Brock' last='Heilmann'] - Senior - Coweta [player_tooltip player_id='474870' first='Brock' last='Heilmann'] will be entering his fourth season as a starter for Coweta. Heilmann was without a doubt one of the best running backs in 5A football last season. Heilmann was a critical part of Coweta going from missing the playoffs in 2024 to capturing the district championship last fall. He's another star RB in a loaded Class 5A.   RB - [player_tooltip player_id='1084102' first='Justin' last='Palacios'] - Senior - Hooker [player_tooltip player_id='1084102' first='Justin' last='Palacios'] is another four-year starter at the running back position. He's been a standout for Hooker since his freshman season and has produced at a high level in the last three seasons. Palacios is also a standout linebacker but he has been one of the more productive running backs in Oklahoma over the past three seasons.    WR - [player_tooltip player_id='807020' first='Cooper' last='Hooker'] - Senior - Pryor (Oklahoma State Commit) [player_tooltip player_id='807020' first='Cooper' last='Hooker'] was our 2025 Comeback Player Of The Year after missing the majority of his sophomore season, he came back with a vengeance in 2025. This year, he'll take the field for Pryor and immediately become one of the top playmakers in Class 5A. Whether it's at receiver or returning kicks, anytime he gets the ball in the open field, he's a threat to score.   WR - [player_tooltip player_id='1704215' first='Noah' last='Lloyd'] - Senior - Talihina [player_tooltip player_id='1704215' first='Noah' last='Lloyd'] returns for his senior season after being incredibly productive over the last two seasons. You can probably count on one hand the number of receivers that have better numbers than Lloyd over the past two seasons. After helping lead Talihina to a state championship last fall, he's back and hungry for more in 2026.   TE - [player_tooltip player_id='1530058' first='Ben' last='Kolar'] - Senior - Norman North (Stanford Commit) [player_tooltip player_id='1530058' first='Ben' last='Kolar'] enters his senior season as a very versatile player to watch in Class 6A-1. Offensively, Kolar is the perfect tight end where he can be an extension of the offensive line or split out as a receiving tight end. Kolar will also turn around and cause havoc as an edge rusher but the Stanford commit is a tight end standout.   OL - [player_tooltip player_id='1409130' first='Devin' last='Smith'] - Sophomore - Broken Arrow [player_tooltip player_id='1409130' first='Devin' last='Smith'] is on his way to being arguably the most dominant offensive lineman in the state. Smith broke into the starting lineup for Broken Arrow last season as a freshman. It was pretty clear that Smith was going to be a foundational piece for Broken Arrow moving forward. He's firmly established himself as one of the state's top 2029 prospects.   OL - [player_tooltip player_id='1833634' first='Gavin' last='Wilson'] - Junior - Bixby [player_tooltip player_id='1833634' first='Gavin' last='Wilson'] is coming off a breakout sophomore season in 2025. It shouldn't be a surprise at this point that the Spartans have another potential star emerging along the line of scrimmage. This season, Wilson will be an anchor of the offensive line and also turn around and cause problems as a defensive lineman.    OL - [player_tooltip player_id='1834818' first='Jake' last='Matthews'] - Senior - Ada [player_tooltip player_id='1834818' first='Jake' last='Matthews'] is coming off a very productive offseason where he improved his game heading into his senior season. Matthews was one of the breakout prospects of the 2025 season and he was a name that we didn't know much about at this time last year. Now, he's looking to firmly establish himself as one of the top guys at the position.   OL - [player_tooltip player_id='1140727' first='Paxton' last='Pitchford'] - Senior - Stillwater [player_tooltip player_id='1140727' first='Paxton' last='Pitchford'] comes into this season as one of the absolute best interior offensive lineman prospects in the state. It doesn't matter where he lines up on the line of scrimmage, he's an absolute bulldozer up front for the Pioneers. Stillwater has a chance to be really good on offense and it's going to start with Pitchford up front.   OL - Philip Loadholt - Junior - Booker T Washington Philip Loadholt has been starting for Booker T Washington since his freshman season. This offseason, he moved over to Broken Arrow before returning to Booker T Washington for his junior season. He is the anchor for this Hornet offense at the center position. They have the chance to be really good on offense and it starts with Loadholt up front.   DEFENSE   DL - [player_tooltip player_id='1171162' first='Cadriann' last='Olds'] - Senior - Booker T Washington (Baylor Commit) Cardriann Olds heads into his senior season with a new team in Booker T Washington and an opportunity to team up with another future Big 12 prospect on the defensive line. The Hornets were already going to be nasty on the line of scrimmage but Olds gives them a nightmarish edge rusher to go with arguably the best defensive lineman in the state.   DL - [player_tooltip player_id='1831885' first='Damon' last='Davis'] - Senior - Millwood [player_tooltip player_id='1831885' first='Damon' last='Davis'] makes the move over from Southeast to Millwood for his senior season and should be an instant impact player for the Falcons. Davis was one of the bigger breakout stars from last season. By early October, he already had double digit sacks and showcased an unbelievable burst off the edge that gave opposing linemen problems.   DL - [player_tooltip player_id='913667' first='Kade' last='Barton'] - Senior - Mount St. Mary [player_tooltip player_id='913667' first='Kade' last='Barton'] moves over to Mount St. Mary after a dominant season in 2025 with Guthrie. He is an absolute game wrecker coming off the edge and this could end up being a very memorable season for the Rockets. Barton is just one piece to a defensive line that has the potential to become one of the best DL units in Class 3A football this season.    DL - [player_tooltip player_id='1297665' first='Luke' last='McInelly'] - Senior - Jenks (Navy Commit) [player_tooltip player_id='1297665' first='Luke' last='McInelly'] is such an interesting player to watch because he's never been the biggest defensive lineman on the field and it's never really mattered either. McInelly has that nasty streak to go along with a deep skillset that makes him incredibly productive for the Trojans. He'll look to close his career by leading Jenks back to the top in 6A-1.   LB - [player_tooltip player_id='1830547' first='Darion' last='Thomas'] - Senior - Carl Albert [player_tooltip player_id='1830547' first='Darion' last='Thomas'] might have been one of the more underrated defensive players in the state last season. Carl Albert's defense had some absolute stars on that side of the ball. But it was Thomas that was a tackling machine and always seemed to be around the football on every snap. Now, he enters 2026 as the unquestioned leader on defense.   LB - [player_tooltip player_id='1171160' first='Kade' last='Pratt'] - Senior - Broken Bow [player_tooltip player_id='1171160' first='Kade' last='Pratt'] made the most of his first season with Broken Bow last year. He was a tackling machine and one of the state's best in that category. As the Savages go into this season, the expectations are incredibly high and Pratt is a big reason behind that. Look for Pratt to be one of the top defenders in Class 4A this season.    LB - [player_tooltip player_id='1831002' first='Nathan' last='Hobbs'] - Senior - Bixby [player_tooltip player_id='1831002' first='Nathan' last='Hobbs'] enjoyed a breakout junior season in 2025 and now returns as one of the leaders on a relatively young Bixby squad in 2026. Right from the start of the season, Hobbs was a breakout star and is just the latest example of a standout linebacker that has come through this Bixby pipeline. He's a quarterback's worst nightmare to deal with.   DB - [player_tooltip player_id='2149526' first='Bryson' last='Brown'] - Senior - Broken Arrow (Oklahoma State Commit) [player_tooltip player_id='2149526' first='Bryson' last='Brown'] has been considered one of the state's best cornerback prospects for well over a year now. Brown has been recruited by schools all over the country and eventually landed with Oklahoma State. Brown is also part of a Broken Arrow secondary that has next level talent all over the place as he looks to lock down one side of the field.   DB - [player_tooltip player_id='1067472' first='Fisher' last='Lai'] - Senior - Cascia Hall [player_tooltip player_id='1067472' first='Fisher' last='Lai'] has been one of the state's best two-way players over the last two years. It should be mentioned how electric he can be on the offensive side of the ball. But when it comes down to it, Lai has proven time and time again that he is a lockdown cornerback. He's been pivotal to their success during the last two seasons.    DB - [player_tooltip player_id='1829699' first='Kade' last='Klein'] - Junior - Jenks [player_tooltip player_id='1829699' first='Kade' last='Klein'] is another player that wasn't on our radar at this time last year but it certainly didn't take long to get there. Klein is listed here as a defensive back but he's one of the rare players that feels very comfortable at all three levels of the defense. And that is bad news for every offense that has to gameplan against Klein and the Jenks defense.   DB - [player_tooltip player_id='946188' first='Tyson' last='Laster'] - Senior - Ardmore [player_tooltip player_id='946188' first='Tyson' last='Laster'] is another prospect that could make an argument for being an “athlete” on the All State teams for what he does on both sides of the ball. But there is no doubt that Laster has been one of the better cornerbacks in the state and that's been the case since early on in his career. But don't forget that he will be an outstanding threat on offense as well.   KICKER/ATHLETES   K - [player_tooltip player_id='1830700' first='Jaxon' last='Burton'] - Senior - Claremore [player_tooltip player_id='1830700' first='Jaxon' last='Burton'] returns for his senior season after emerging as a special teams weapon for Claremore last season. The Zebras are looking to make more noise in 2026 after beating a district champion in the first round of the playoffs a year ago. Having Burton as their special teams X-Factor could certainly make them a team to look out for in Class 5A.   ATH - [player_tooltip player_id='602991' first='Braeden' last='Baker'] - Senior RB/LB - Broken Arrow [player_tooltip player_id='602991' first='Braeden' last='Baker'] is making the jump from 3A football to 6A-1 football this fall. Baker was a star for Lincoln Christian at the running back position. Now, he adds depth to Broken Arrow's running back room and he turns around and could be a potential standout on the defensive side of the ball. We think Baker is a star in the making on defense.   ATH - [player_tooltip player_id='1689504' first='Connor' last='Arant'] - Junior TE/DE - Bixby [player_tooltip player_id='1689504' first='Connor' last='Arant'] started to blow up a little over a year ago as one of the 2028 prospects to watch and now he's the top guy in this class. Offensively, he gives Bixby the ultimate threat in the red zone with his size at tight end. Defensively, he's an edge rusher that has caused chaos very frequently. His role should also expand as he goes into his junior season.   ATH - [player_tooltip player_id='1832582' first='Noah' last='Torrez'] - Senior ATH - Marlow [player_tooltip player_id='1832582' first='Noah' last='Torrez'] is right near the top of the list of players we're excited to watch this season. The last time we watched Torrez, he was running for nearly 400 yards and countless touchdowns in the Class C state title game. This summer, he moved from Ryan to Marlow and immediately makes the Outlaws a very fun team to watch as they move up to Class 3A.   ATH - [player_tooltip player_id='1838000' first='Ridge' last='Blackbear'] - Junior RB/LB - Tahlequah Sequoyah [player_tooltip player_id='1838000' first='Ridge' last='Blackbear'] was one of our favorite players to break down following the 2025 football season. Offensively, Blackbear was an outstanding running back for Tahlequah Sequoyah. He played the position like a linebacker, which makes sense considering he's also a starting linebacker for the Indians. He's another very productive two-way player.   ATH - [player_tooltip player_id='1325101' first='Vann' last='Wildcat'] - Senior RB/LB - Pawhuska [player_tooltip player_id='1325101' first='Vann' last='Wildcat'] is another two-way monster at the running back and linebacker position. Last season, Wildcat was one of the more productive two-way players in the state. This season, expect for him to have an even bigger role for the Huskies and specifically on the offensive side of the ball. He was very important to their success last year and that remains the same.
