moved from Arkansas to Oklahoma in between his freshman and sophomore seasons. We were told that he could be a game-wrecker for the Trojans on the defensive line. He had a solid sophomore season but when we saw him again last fall as a junior, it all clicked. Ball was indeed that game-wrecker that we were told about nearly two years ago and he has the potential to be one of the more disruptive defensive linemen in the state, regardless of class. Ball is an absolute force and was one of the hardest hitters that we covered in person last fall. And in the last month, his recruitment has started to take off.

introduced himself to Oklahoma high school football after moving to Jenks from Arkansas. And throughout his sophomore season in 2022, you could see flashes of what he could be, specifically as a defensive end. This season, it’s all come together and he is an absolute game-wrecker. We’ve seen a ton of football this season. We’ve seen some great football players everywhere in the state. There hasn’t been another player that has hit harder than Ball at Jenks. He leads the Trojans in sacks and when he hits a ball carrier, that ball carrier moves backwards. Ball against the Bixby offensive front is a marquee match-up.

and he’s the first of two Jenks Trojans on this post. Last season, we thought that Ball had a ton of potential as a prospect but we still weren’t sure how he projected to the next level. That’s not the case anymore after seeing him in person a few times this season. Ball is an absolute nightmare to deal with on the line of scrimmage and he really impressed us earlier this season when we saw the Trojans in person. We mentioned it then and we’ll bring it up again. It was like Ball was a cement wall that was on the move. To this point, Ball is still the hardest hitting prospect that we’ve been able to watch in person this season. The Jenks coaches can’t say enough about him and it’s only a matter of time before his recruitment blows up.
