Jenks wide receiver Malakai Dillard Malakai Dillard 6'0" | WR Jenks | 2026 State OK is another 2026 prospect that has been on our radar for a while now. Dillard was a breakout star in 2023, when he was a sophomore with Lincoln Christian. He emerged as their top target in the passing game and had a terrific year. He backed that up with a fantastic showing in the offseason at various 7v7 tournaments and we continued to buy more stock in the 2026 playmaker. Last offseason, he moved over to Jenks and immediately became a big part of what the Trojans did in the passing game. He was lethal going over the middle and just had a knack for finding the soft spots in the defense. His recruitment has steadily took off.
