Coweta running back Brock Heilmann Brock Heilmann 5'10" | 190 lbs | RB Coweta | 2027 State OK is an example of a prospect that opponents will wonder how he’s not in college already when they face him this fall. Heilmann has been starting for the Tigers since his freshman season and last year, he put everything together for a very strong junior season. After the Tigers went 2-8 during his sophomore season, Heilmann helped lead them to a 9-2 record and the district championship as a junior. We have gotten a chance to watch Heilmann a handful of times over the last several years at our offseason showcase events. Every time we see him, he’s one of the best running backs in attendance. He runs the ball hard, has speed to break away from defenders in the open field and is a nightmare to bring down in a one on one situation.

2027 running back Brock Heilmann Brock Heilmann 5'10" | 190 lbs | RB Coweta | 2027 State OK returns for his fourth season as Coweta’s starting running back. He’ll have a legitimate shot to surpass 5,000 career rushing yards this season. Last year, he was one of the best running backs in the state, regardless of class. And after we got a chance to watch him in person again back in May, we think he’s primed for a monster senior season. Running behind a very experienced offensive line, Heilmann has the potential to put up big numbers. And as a fourth year starter, there won’t be many running backs in the state that have more touches than Heilmann.

Coweta’s Brock Heilmann Brock Heilmann 5'10" | 190 lbs | RB Coweta | 2027 State OK is another 2027 prospect that we’ve written about from very early on in his high school career. At this point, it feels like Heilmann has been playing for the Tigers for five or six years now but he’s about to enter his senior season. We have a feeling that a lot of Coweta’s opponents will feel the same way when they see Heilmann returning in 2026. He was the go-to weapon for Coweta as they had a huge bounce-back season in 2025. He did a little bit of everything for the Tigers. He was a dynamic runner but could also catch passes out of the backfield. And he also had an impact for Coweta in the return game.

Coweta’s Brock Heilmann Brock Heilmann 5'10" | 190 lbs | RB Coweta | 2027 State OK is another running back that has been playing significant time since his freshman season and has been producing at a very high level. He’s come into this season and has been on an absolute mission and he has the Tigers playing really good football as we head into the playoffs. We watched Heilmann in person once this season and the first time he touched the ball, he took a kickoff back for a touchdown. He’s absolutely electric in the open field and he has put up some monster numbers this season. He’s always produced at a high level but he’s continued to grow and he’s certainly a 2027 RB name to watch this offseason.

Last fall, Heilmann was incredibly productive. He finished with more than 1,500 yards of total offense as a sophomore. Heilmann got plenty of playing time as a freshman but he really had his breakout season last fall. Now, in our opinion, he goes into this season as one of the top running backs to watch in Class 5A. He has legitimate speed and is a physical runner and plays the game with a high IQ. He could put up monster numbers this fall.

Coweta running back Brock Heilmann Brock Heilmann 5'10" | 190 lbs | RB Coweta | 2027 State OK was another name that we knew about before he entered high school. He really impressed us during one of our Prep Redzone Next events during the spring of his 8th grade year. He entered high school and immediately earned playing time on the varsity level and he was able to produce at a very high level, right from the start. Heilmann is continuing to get better and better and that production that we saw early on in his career is continuing to be on the rise. We might have mentioned this in the past but we like the core of Coweta’s roster going into the 2025 season because of the youth they’ve had the last few years. Heilmann is a big part of that and he could be one of the top running backs to watch in Class 5A, not only this fall but looking ahead to the 2026 season as well.
