is a versatile Class of 2027 athlete who has the ability to impact the game in multiple ways off the edge. Standing at 6’4″ and 200 pounds, Ditmore has the frame and athleticism to create problems for opposing offenses. He put together an impressive season with 85 total tackles, 14 quarterback hurries, 12 sacks, 8 pass deflections, and 3 fumble recoveries. Ditmore is a stand-up defensive end who does a great job getting off blocks quickly and creating pressure on the quarterback. His length is a major asset, and even when he doesn’t get all the way to the quarterback, he has the ability to get his hands up and disrupt passing lanes. He consistently finds ways to affect the passing game. What really stands out is Ditmore’s motor. He continues to chase plays down from the backside and has the athleticism to track down running backs in space. He also shows the ability to drop into coverage and make open-field tackles, giving Tonkawa another versatile piece on defense. With his size, length, motor, and ability to contribute as a pass rusher, run defender, and coverage player, Ditmore is a defensive weapon who should continue to attract attention as he enters his junior season.

is one of the more underrated prospects in the state. That includes on our end as we should talk about this guy more as one of the better two-way players in the state. Defensively, Ditmore is an absolute nightmare for opposing offensive linemen. He finished last season with over 50 tackles and nearly ten sacks, coming off the edge. But that wasn’t his only impact. Ditmore was also a really solid tight end for the Buccaneers and caught a touchdown in the state championship game. Ditmore is one of the fastest guys on the team and that’s terrifying to think about when you see how big he is in person.

Tonkawa made a run to the Class A-1 state championship game in 2025 and they have their sights set on a return to Edmond in 2026. And we think the Buccaneers could make it back when you look at some of the names they bring back on defense. And it starts up front with

coming off the edge. Ditmore will also play some offense for Tonkawa this season at the tight end position but there is no doubt that his production was at it’s best on the defensive side of the ball. Ditmore is an absolute monster coming off the edge and in our two chances to see Tonkawa in person, Ditmore was playing the game like a man possessed and was very fun to watch. He has size, good bend coming off the edge and a motor that doesn’t seem to slow down. And he’s just one of several players just like that on this Tonkawa defense. Ditmore was a breakout star in 2025 and debuts here at #77 overall.
