2029 running back Jayce Kent Jayce Kent RB Inola | 2029 State OK was a big reason the Longhorns came from out of nowhere to be a 3A quarterfinalist.

Overall, he had 18 touchdowns and also had over 40 tackles and three interceptions on the defensive side of the ball. In our opinion, Kent was one of the better playmakers in Class 3A last season. At this time last year, we didn’t know anything about him. That won’t be the case moving forward.
