Every Sunday, we'll take a look at at on of fantastic individual performances. Following games each week, DM us @PrepRedzoneOK on X or email Michael@PrepRedzone.com to submit your picks. This week, we have breakdowns featuring 30 different players from across the state!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1837293' first='Ayden' last='Gaines'] - 2027 Wide Receiver/Defensive Back - Claremore</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Claremore senior [player_tooltip player_id='1837293' first='Ayden' last='Gaines'] is no stranger to this weekly breakdown as he's been dominant in all three phases of the game in 2026. In their win over Edison, Gaines came up big on both sides of the ball. He had two catches for over 100 yards and both went for touchdowns. He also turned around and had over ten tackles, a sack and three interceptions on the defensive side of the ball. Whether it's offense, defense or special teams, Gaines has proven to be Claremore's top playmaker, week after week this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1726786' first='Beau' last='Daniels'] - 2029 Running Back - Collinsville</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Collinsville has been playing lights out in the last several weeks after starting the season 0-4. They've won three straight, including a dominant win on the road over Tahlequah. During this win streak, the emergence of sophomore running back [player_tooltip player_id='1726786' first='Beau' last='Daniels'] cannot be overlooked. In the win over Tahlequah, Daniels had arguably the best performance of his young career. He carried the ball 31 times and finished with 237 yards and four touchdowns in the win. He's been producing at a much higher clip in the last month but his workhorse performance in the win on the road definitely deserved to be talked about. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1530096' first='Brayton' last='Carter'] - 2027 Athlete - Stilwell</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stilwell got their first win over Poteau since 2007 on Thursday night. 2007 was also the last year that the Indians made the playoffs. Senior [player_tooltip player_id='1530096' first='Brayton' last='Carter'] is a big reason why the Indians are 6-1 this season after going 2-8 last year. Despite the 2-8 record, it was apparent that Carter was an athlete to watch moving forward. He was outstanding in the win over Poteau Friday night and he once again did a little bit of everythin. He carried the ball 11 times and finished with nearly 100 yards and a touchdown. He also had five catches for over 100 yards and a touchdown as the Indians take another step to being playoff bound. </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 bounced back from their first loss on the season by putting up 60+ points in a win over East Central. After being somewhat limited in the loss to Bishop Kelley in week six, there were no limitations on [player_tooltip player_id='474870' first='Brock' last='Heilmann'] in their Friday night win over the Cardinals. The senior ran for 225 yards and three touchdowns on 15 carries as the Tigers rolled to the win. It was also our first chance to watch Heilmann in person this fall and he once again passed the eye test. He runs the ball with a physicality that is rarely matched week to week. Heilmann and the Tigers now look to finish the regular season strong. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1704000' first='Bryson' last='Francis'] - 2028 Quarterback - Owasso</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Owasso went on the road and took down Yukon and junior [player_tooltip player_id='1704000' first='Bryson' last='Francis'] continues to show why he might be the "X-Factor" for the Rams this season. Francis finished the night with ten carries for 229 yards and four touchdowns and he also had 50 yards receiving. A few weeks ago, Francis was used primarily as a receiver and a wildcat quarterback in limited instances. Last week, he started at QB and accounted for six touchdowns. This week, Owasso used him in different ways and he scored four more times. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1680267' first='Christian' last='Tschudy'] - 2027 Running Back - Mount St. Mary</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mount St. Mary senior running back [player_tooltip player_id='1680267' first='Christian' last='Tschudy'] was one of the players that we featured in our week seven players to watch. He immediately backed up the hype with a big performance. The Rockets came up short against North Rock Creek but Tschudy had a big time performance. He ran the ball 15 times and finished with 180 yards and a pair of touchdowns. We wrote about Tschudy being the "mack truck" of this Mount St. Mary offense and he had another stellar performance in what's been a strong senior year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1522515' first='Cole' last='Rolland'] - 2028 Quarterback - Checotah</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Checotah bounced back from a tough loss at home to Tahlequah Sequoyah by coming to Tulsa and beating up on Victory Christian. Junior quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='1522515' first='Cole' last='Rolland'] continued his monster junior season with another outstanding performance. He threw for 374 yards and three touchdowns on 12-21 passing. He also added over 150 yards and three touchdowns on 15 carries. Even in the loss to Sequoyah, Rolland was a dual-threat monster at quarterback and that just continued in week seven in the win over Victory Christian. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1182029' first='Connor' last='Claborn'] - 2027 Running Back - Lawton MacArthur</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It has been an up and down season for Lawton MacArthur and senior running back [player_tooltip player_id='1182029' first='Connor' last='Claborn'] but he looked like his normal All State self in their win over El Reno. Claborn finished the night accounting for nearly 250 total yards and a pair of touchdowns in the win. In their season opener, Claborn was banged up and he has shown an unbelievable amount of grit this season, helping his team however he can and getting back on the field. Claborn will now focus on finishing the regular season strong and getting back to the playoffs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1695230' first='Curtis' last='Henley IV'] - 2027 Running Back - Mangum</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If Mangum goes on to win the state championship, senior running back [player_tooltip player_id='1695230' first='Curtis' last='Henley IV'] is going to have his fingerprints all over it. Henley has been unstoppable for the Tigers this season and he's once again on this weekly breakdown after another dominant performance in blowout victory. Henley finished the night with over 200 yards and four touchdowns on 16 carries. In a lot of the games this season, Henley's night is over by halftime. Despite that, he still runs circles around teams and produces at a high level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2243557' first='Dason' last='McBride'] - 2028 Running Back - Cascia Hall</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cascia Hall knocked off Kiefer 28-14 in a game that featured two undefeated teams coming into week seven. Junior running back [player_tooltip player_id='2243557' first='Dason' last='McBride'] was unstoppable in the win and accounted for all four Cascia Hall touchdowns. He finished the night with over 30 carries and had nearly 250 yards. So much of that production came in the second half as the Commandos outscored Kiefer 21-0 in the final two quarters. Cascia Hall's defense also deserves a shoutout as they held a Kiefer offense that averaged 60 points per game to just 14 points. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2339327' first='David' last='Love'] - 2028 Athlete - East Central</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>East Central came up short against Coweta but it was our first chance to see junior standout [player_tooltip player_id='2339327' first='David' last='Love'] and he definitely passed the eye test. He accounted for over 300 total yards and all three of East Central's touchdowns. Whether it was on offense or in special teams, anytime Love had the ball in his hands, he was a threat to take it to the house. Love is a player in the state's 2028 class that might be flying under the radar right now but he's definitely a playmaker that has a high ceiling moving forward. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1832786' first='Elijah' last='Hill'] - 2028 Running Back - Booker T Washington</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Booker T Washington lost a tough one at home, falling to Bartlesville in a shootout. But junior running back [player_tooltip player_id='1832786' first='Elijah' last='Hill'] or "Sonny" as he's known around BTW had a great performance. He ran the ball 21 times and finished with 325 yards and four touchdowns. The Hornets found themselves in a high-scoring affair and they needed their offensive playmakers to step up. Hill certainly did his part, finishing with 300+ yards on the ground and making big play after big play happen as the Hornets tried to stay in the district race. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1704643' first='Issac' last='Torres'] - 2028 Running Back - Pryor</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One week after being somewhat limited in a loss to Bishop McGuinness, Pryor junior running back [player_tooltip player_id='1704643' first='Issac' last='Torres'] went off in a blowout win. Torres ran for 280 yards and four touchdowns on just 18 carries. We don't have the stats for every running back in the state but we don't believe there is another running back that has more rushing yards and touchdowns than Torres as we head into week eight. Pryor has a very explosive and balanced offense but Torres has made a strong case for being their best player this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1837221' first='Jaedan' last='Adams'] - 2028 Running Back - Stillwater</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stillwater junior running back [player_tooltip player_id='1837221' first='Jaedan' last='Adams'] had the best performance of his 2026 campaign in their dominant win over Sand Springs. Adams finished the night with nearly 250 yards and four touchdowns on 29 carries. Adams was one of ten players that we featured as "players to watch" heading into week seven and he immediately backed up the hype with a performance that has to be one of the best of his careers. With Adams playing like that, this Stillwater team looks like a team that can contend for the state title. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1837757' first='Jarret' last='Norman'] - 2028 Defensive Back - Berryhill</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Berryhill has completely turned things around with district play starting and they are still in a position to contend for the district championship. Junior defensive back [player_tooltip player_id='1837757' first='Jarret' last='Norman'] had a big performance in their win last week. Norman had one of the better defensive performances of week seven. He finished the night with seven tackles and three interceptions in the win. Berryhill is a team that is flying under the radar right now in Class 3A but with players like Norman, they'll have a shot to make a run. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1834732' first='Jayce' last='Kent'] - 2029 Running Back - Inola</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It has been a rocky season for Inola and sophomore running back [player_tooltip player_id='1834732' first='Jayce' last='Kent'] has been banged up at various times in the year but he's coming off the best performance of his young career. Kent ran for nearly 350 yards and five touchdowns on 17 carries. The 348 yards he ran for ended up being a single game record for Inola football. Kent was one of the best freshmen in the state last season and while this season has been rocky, Thursday night's performance is one example why he's one of the better running backs in this class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2448323' first='Jonah' last='Miller'] - 2030 Quarterback - Chisholm</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Chisholm bounced back from a tough loss to Cascia Hall by beating up on Dewey Thursday night. Freshman quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='2448323' first='Jonah' last='Miller'] continues to have a breakout season for the Longhorns and he had a terrific performance as a passer and as a runner. He threw for nearly 300 yards and six touchdowns on 12-18 passing. He then turned around and had 121 yards and a touchdown on eight carries in their blowout victory. Miller is one of several 2030 prospects we featured earlier in the week on Prep Redzone Oklahoma.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1838145' first='Josiah' last='Hardy'] - 2028 Running Back - Millwood</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Millwood had the upset of the week as they went on the road and took down Cashion in overtime on Thursday night. We went back and watched a lot of that game and junior running back [player_tooltip player_id='1838145' first='Josiah' last='Hardy'] stood out in the win for the Falcons. First off, Hardy ran for a couple touchdowns but he also had a touchdown reception. That touchdown reception came in overtime and it came after Cashion fumbled their possession away. Hardy's touchdown reception was the game winner and he continues to have a strong junior year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1839047' first='Karrson' last='Davis'] - 2028 Quarterback - Fort Gibson</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fort Gibson had one of the best wins from week seven as they scored the go-ahead touchdown with five seconds left to stun Skiatook 28-24. Junior quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='1839047' first='Karrson' last='Davis'] led the way for the Tigers and had the most clutch performance of week seven. Skiatook went up 24-21 with less than a minute left and Davis had to march the Tigers down to have a chance to win. He did just that and he tossed the game-winning touchdown with five seconds left to get the win as Fort Gibson continues to roll in Class 4A. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1678735' first='Kase' last='Adams'] - 2027 Quarterback - Sallisaw</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sallisaw remained undefeated with a 21-point win over Ada on Thursday night. Senior quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='1678735' first='Kase' last='Adams'] continues to be one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the state, not just in Class 4A. He had another performance in week seven that backed up that claim. Adams threw for over 150 yards and two touchdowns on 12-19 passing. He also added over 150 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Adams has been getting the job done all season with his arm and legs and has Sallisaw looking like a serious 4A contender. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1833188' first='Kaysen' last='Fredieu'] - 2027 Wide Receiver/Defensive Back - Holland Hall</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Holland Hall continues to be one of the top teams in their district and they took down Rejoice Christian 14-7 on Thursday night. Senior wide receiver and defensive back [player_tooltip player_id='1833188' first='Kaysen' last='Fredieu'] led the way on both sides of the ball. Fredieu caught four passes for 125 yards and two touchdowns. He accounted for both of Holland Hall's touchdowns and he turned around and had an interception on the defensive side of the ball. Fredieu and Holland Hall now turn their attention to a week eight showdown with Sperry that could decide the district title. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1718189' first='Keyshaun' last='Brown'] - 2027 Quarterback - Wagoner</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wagoner got off to a very bumpy start without senior quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='1718189' first='Keyshaun' last='Brown'] but now that he's back in the lineup, the Bulldogs have an opportunity to finish off the regular season strong. Brown stood out once again in their week seven victory. He finished with over 200 passing yards and a touchdown on 9-16 passing. He also added two touchdowns on the ground. With Brown back in the offensive lineup, the Bulldogs have an opportunity to finish the season strong and get one of those playoff spots in this district. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1833350' first='Kyran' last='Myers'] - 2028 Wide Receiver - Broken Arrow</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Broken Arrow found themselves down 3-0 after one quarter to Mustang but exploded for 28 second quarter points to put the Broncos away by halftime. Junior wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='1833350' first='Kyran' last='Myers'] was part of the offensive explosion after that slow start. Myers caught three passes for 161 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the win. Myers is a player that got on our radar back in the spring at one of our 7v7 tournaments. He's been a consistent playmaker for the Tigers this season on a roster full of next level players. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1524935' first='Landen' last='Griffith'] - 2027 Quarterback - Talihina</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Talihina took care of business against Central Sallisaw and senior quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='1524935' first='Landen' last='Griffith'] was once again in the spotlight. His performance in the win felt like a typical one but it was anything but. He threw for nearly 250 yards and four touchdowns on 13-17 passing. He also finished with six carries and over 50 yards and a pair of touchdowns on the ground. But more importantly, Griffith passed former Locust Grove QB Mason Fine for the state's career total offense record. He's now accounted for 14,269 yards of total offense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1167484' first='Michael' last='Kent'] - 2028 Quarterback - Bartlesville</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For the second straight week, Bartlesville got a massive 6A-2 win and for the second straight week, junior quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='1167484' first='Michael' last='Kent'] led a very explosive offense and earns a spot on this breakdown. The Bruins went to Tulsa and took down Booker T Washington and put up 60+ points in the process. For the second straight week, Kent accounted for over 400 yards on the offensive side of the ball and he accounted for seven touchdowns in the win. Kent and the Bruins are looking more and more serious as a 6A-2 contender in this district. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1832582' first='Noah' last='Torrez'] - 2027 Running Back - Marlow</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Marlow got one of the bigger wins of week seven when they went on the road and beat Kingfisher in overtime. Senior [player_tooltip player_id='1832582' first='Noah' last='Torrez'] has been outstanding for the Outlaws all season and it was Torrez that helped Marlow hand Kingfisher their first loss all season. Torrez finished with four touchdowns on the ground, including what would end up being the game-winning score in overtime. Torrez is a big reason why you can't overlook Marlow as a serious state championship contender in a wide open and deep Class 3A.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1522522' first='Ryder' last='Waddell'] - 2028 Linebacker - Poteau</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Poteau came up short to Stilwell on Thursday night but star linebacker [player_tooltip player_id='1522522' first='Ryder' last='Waddell'] continued to show why he's one of the better defensive prospects in the state's 2028 class. Waddell finished the night with nearly 20 tackles, with the majority of them being solo tackles. He also had four tackles for loss, forced a fumble and made a couple catches on the offensive side of the ball. Head coach Jake Hayes called Waddell's stat line "the best since I've been here," and you look at the numbers and it backs that statement up. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1530107' first='Ty' last='Jerrell'] - 2027 Linebacker - Pocola</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pocola has been explosive on offense but senior linebacker [player_tooltip player_id='1530107' first='Ty' last='Jerrell'] was the standout in their week seven victory on Thursday. He finished the night with ten tackles, including six coming behind the line of scrimmage as he was terrorizing their opponent from start to finish. Jerrell also had a sack in the win. But he also produced on the offensive side of the ball. He had 42 yards receiving and a touchdown in the win. Pocola continues to be a team to look out for in Class A-1, although they play in one of the more chaotic districts. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1184832' first='Tyson' last='Hawkins'] - 2027 Athlete - North Rock Creek</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's time to start talking more about North Rock Creek senior [player_tooltip player_id='1184832' first='Tyson' last='Hawkins'] being one of the best overall players in the state this season. He's definitely been that in Class 3A and his performance in their win over Mount St. Mary is a good example why he's one of the best in the state. He caught seven passes for over 100 yards and a touchdown. He also carried the ball the ball ten times for nearly 100 yards and two touchdowns. He also had ten tackles and an interception on defense. He's been a rock star for North Rock Creek in 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1828411' first='Wesley' last='Woody'] - 2028 Running Back/Defensive Back - Bishop Kelley</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On Friday, we added Bishop Kelley junior [player_tooltip player_id='1828411' first='Wesley' last='Woody'] to our Player Of The Year Watchlist. He was going on it anyway but this came less than 24 hours after he had another spectacular outing in a win over Glenpool. Woody finished with 26 carries and went for over 200 yards and four touchdowns. He also had a handful of tackles on the defensive side of the ball. Bishop Kelley is one of the hottest teams in Class 5A and it's no surprise that Woody's play has taken off during this current winning streak the Comets are on. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
