2027 Pre-Season All-State Team

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2026 Kansas high school football season kicks off on September 4th. We are excited to present the 30 esteemed members of our Class of 2027 preseason All-State team. We expect these prospects to either continue their path of dominance or break out in a major way. These seniors either have the production, physical tools, and factors to play at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Offense:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>QB: [player_tooltip player_id='1643737' first='Reign' last='Illian'] (Maize South)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>QB: [player_tooltip player_id='1700711' first='Dan' last='Sogard'] (Blue Valley)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>QB: [player_tooltip player_id='934072' first='Holden' last='Applebee'] (Mill Valley)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>RB: [player_tooltip player_id='1613502' first='Roman' last='Byers'] (Piper)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>RB: [player_tooltip player_id='491873' first='Arieus' last='Finley Jr.'] (Derby)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>RB: [player_tooltip player_id='2067404' first='Jaxson' last='Green'] (Andover Central)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>WR: [player_tooltip player_id='856864' first='Pearce' last='George'] (Maize)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>WR: [player_tooltip player_id='1341050' first='Jacob' last='Lockett'] (Blue Valley)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>WR: [player_tooltip player_id='1263895' first='Jordan' last='Lockett'] (Blue Valley)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>TE: [player_tooltip player_id='934074' first='Stone' last='Zambo'] (Mill Valley)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>OL: [player_tooltip player_id='944909' first='Gus' last='Corsair'] (Hays)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>OL: [player_tooltip player_id='1703633' first='Tyson' last='Ross'] (Andover)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>OL: [player_tooltip player_id='1113283' first='Alijah' last='Shaw'] (Blue Valley North)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>OL: [player_tooltip player_id='2254792' first='Noah' last='Reid'] (Shawnee Mission North)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>OL: [player_tooltip player_id='1125648' first='Maddox' last='McGinnis'] (Wichita Northwest)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Defensive</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DE: [player_tooltip player_id='2254803' first='Ben' last='Collins'] (Emporia)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DE: [player_tooltip player_id='1113168' first='Brody' last='Pfannenstiel'] (Hoisington)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DE: [player_tooltip player_id='1612732' first='Tyson' last='Phillips'] (Wichita Heights)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DT: [player_tooltip player_id='1113284' first='Ayden' last='Koehn'] (Cheney)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DT: [player_tooltip player_id='944910' first='Tanner' last='Geist'] (Hays)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DT: [player_tooltip player_id='1673800' first='Zion' last='Thornton'] (St. Thomas Aquinas)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>LB: [player_tooltip player_id='1124985' first='Kale' last='Kern'] (Great Bend)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>LB: [player_tooltip player_id='993089' first='Rett' last='Daniels'] (Blue Valley North)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>LB: [player_tooltip player_id='2063119' first='Marcus' last='Boganowski'] (Junction City)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>LB: [player_tooltip player_id='2084675' first='Charlie' last='Peek'] (Basehor Linwood)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DB: [player_tooltip player_id='933826' first='Cooper' last='Ohnmacht'] (Great Bend)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DB: [player_tooltip player_id='403631' first='Cordale' last='Johnson'] (Wichita Northwest)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DB: [player_tooltip player_id='1612742' first='Joseph' last='Mortensen'] (Manhattan)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DB: [player_tooltip player_id='1673801' first='Jackson' last='Riley'] (Maize South)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DB: [player_tooltip player_id='1631999' first='CJ' last='Hess'] (Bishop Miege)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
