Expert Analysis
Michael Knight | Prep Redzone Scout
The final defense-only player on this breakdown is Owasso senior linebacker Kunta Jordan Kunta Jordan 6'0" | LB Owasso | 2023 State OK . Similar to Millwood’s Carter who stood out in the final game of the year, Jordan stood out to us in the first game of the year. Jordan was an absolute game-wrecker at the linebacker position. From the opening game, it became very obvious that not only was Jordan going to be one of the breakout stars of the young season, but he was going to be one of the better players at his postiion in the state, regardless of class. Owasso had a roller coaster of a season but one of the more consistent players for them all year has been Jordan at the linebacker position. He definitely became one of the better linebackers in a very loaded 2023 class.

There were quite a few breakout players on the defensive side of the ball this season but Owasso senior linebacker Kunta Jordan Kunta Jordan 6'0" | LB Owasso | 2023 State OK is near the top of the list. Jordan would finish as Owasso’s leading tackler on the season and once again had a strong performance in their game on Friday. The first time we saw Jordan and the impact he was having on the field was in the first meeting with Bixby back in August. Despite the loss, Jordan was one of the best defensive players on the field that night and the same can be said again about him this time around. Jordan led the team with eight tackles on the night, including two of them coming for a loss. And Bixby’s offense obviously had a a big night but anytime they did stumble, Jordan was one of the causes. He’s emerged as one of the top available linebackers in the 2023 class.

Similar to Hills on the offensive side of the ball, there was another breakout player from that week zero game against Bixby and that was senior linebacker Kunta Jordan Kunta Jordan 6'0" | LB Owasso | 2023 State OK . From that point on, we’ve been watching what Jordan can do on the field and he added even more depth to an already loaded linebacker class in the state this year. Jordan has lived in opposing backfields this season. He has over 100 tackles on the season and is tied for the lead in sacks and tackles for loss. That doesn’t include the numbers of hurries that he has and his ability to put pressure on the quarterback and get him on the move. Going up against Bixby in August, Jordan had success and he’ll look to lean on that this week as the Rams look to capture their third state title in the last six years.

While we thought that Hills was a good candidate to be a breakout star this season, one Owasso Ram that we didn’t see coming was senior linebacker Kunta Jordan Kunta Jordan 6'0" | LB Owasso | 2023 State OK . This linebacker has been lights out for the Rams all season and he’s going to be incredibly important to their success on Friday night. He’s been Owasso’s most productive player on the defensive side of the ball and the Rams will need that production as they go up against a Union offense that has been one of the most balanced and high-scoring offenses in the state. Jordan and the Owasso defense had success in their regular season meeting and they’ll need to see what worked well and try to build on that this week to contain the Union offense.

The third linebacker on this breakdown is Owasso’s Kunta Jordan Kunta Jordan 6'0" | LB Owasso | 2023 State OK , adding yet another name to an already loaded linebacker position. Early on in the season, Jordan stood out immediately as he flew all over the ball. Similar to the other linebackers on this breakdown, it looks like Jordan translates more to a middle linebacker or inside backer in a 3-4 look. Jordan is a linebacker that will fly all over the field and makes as much of an impact in defending the pass as he does in the run game. We really like the combination of size and skill for Jordan and when we checked him out earlier this season, he was immediately a name to write down and add to this 2023 group.
