Anyone is eligible to be added but this is a list that is reserved for the best of the best. This is our third week of adding names and it's still very early on in the season. But these three additions have already stood out this fall and all three came into this season, firmly established as some of the best players in the state of Oklahoma. We have three players that have been dominant on the offensive side of the ball so far this season and one that is a top ten overall prospect in the state's 2027 class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='474870' first='Brock' last='Heilmann'] - 2027 Running Back - Coweta</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Coweta senior running back [player_tooltip player_id='474870' first='Brock' last='Heilmann'] has been unstoppable so far as Coweta has put together back to back impressive wins over Wagoner and Pryor. We mentioned that Heilmann would be added to this watchlist during our live show on Saturday. This came after he ran for over 200 yards and also had over 100 receiving yards in a big week one win over Pryor. Through the first two games of the season, Heilmann has found the end zone ten times on the ground. While it's not likely, Heilmann is on pace to hit 50 rushing touchdowns by the start of the playoffs. Yes, that pace will probably go down but probably not by much. Heilmann has been an absolute monster for the Tigers since his freshman season and is one of the more productive running backs in the state. He's been a player that we've talked about and written about for a while now. The start to his senior season is not a surprise to us but we think he's definitely opening up some eyes across the state. Heilmman has Coweta looking like a serious state title contender. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1837043' first='Dominic' last='Forbes'] - 2027 Wide Receiver - Sand Springs</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sand Springs senior wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='1837043' first='Dominic' last='Forbes'] has been one of the state's best wide receivers since his breakout sophomore season. So it's no surprise that Forbes finds himself on this watchlist and will continue to be considered one of the best overall players in the state of Oklahoma. The Sand Springs senior has shattered almost every receiving record there is at Sand Springs and looks to put all of those numbers at a spot that they might not ever be touched. Last week, Forbes led the charge as the Sandites went on the road and beat rival Sapulpa after they dropped their season opener to Deer Creek. Forbes was able to produce at a high level at the wide receiver position but he would showcase his abilities as an overall playmaker in other areas. In short yardage situations on the goal line, Forbes would take direct snaps and powered his way into the end zone. That was something we saw from him as a sophomore. When in doubt, put the ball in Forbes' hands and good things tend to happen. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1030447' first='Kailib' last='Dillard'] - 2027 Wide Receiver/Defensive Back - Jenks</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It seemed like only a matter of time before we added Jenks standout and Florida commit [player_tooltip player_id='1030447' first='Kailib' last='Dillard'] to this list. He's committed to the Gators to play defensive back at the next level but there is no doubt that he is one of the state's best two-way players with the impact he also has on the offensive side of the ball. Last week was a good example of that as the Trojans got a bounce back win over Rogers in northwest Arkansas. Dillard could not be stopped at the wide receiver position and was a playmaker on both sides of the ball. Like Forbes, Dillard came into this season as a Preseason All State 1st Team selection at the wide receiver position. Now, it's going to be very interesting to see how he does in tonight's game against Bixby. In last year's meeting with the Spartans, Dillard had a huge game, finding the end zone a handful of times. And Bixby's secondary has plenty of new faces. That's a formula that could mean the Florida commit gets loose quite a few times on the Chapman Stadium turf tonight. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>PREVIOUS WATCHLIST ADDITIONS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/08/player-of-the-year-watchlist-week-zero-2/" data-type="link" data-id="https://prepredzone.com/2026/08/player-of-the-year-watchlist-week-zero-2/">- Week Zero</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/09/player-of-the-year-watchlist-week-one-2/" data-type="link" data-id="https://prepredzone.com/2026/09/player-of-the-year-watchlist-week-one-2/">- Week One</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
