Senior offensive lineman and Tulsa commit Ryley Kester Ryley Kester 6'4" | 265 lbs | OL Jenks | 2026 State OK will be a four-year starter on the offensive line this fall. He spent his first two seasons at Sand Springs and became an All State-caliber player with the Sandites. Last summer, he moved over to Jenks and remained that dominant player along the line of scrimmage. Kester has the ability to line up just about anywhere he needs to be on the offensive line and dominate. This spring, he was taking a lot of snaps at center and also playing some defense. No matter where he lines up, he’s bringing a lot of fight to the opponent and plays with an unstoppable mean streak that you just don’t see very often in high school football.

Jenks offensive lineman Ryley Kester Ryley Kester 6'4" | 265 lbs | OL Jenks | 2026 State OK continues to be one of our favorite prospects to watch in this class. Kester might not have some of the measurables that the other offensive linemen in this class has but we’ll put our chips on Kester to get the job done. He’s another 2026 prospect that has been considered an absolute monster since his freshman season. In fact, we’ve known about Kester since before his freshman year and every time we’ve seen him in person, he’s backed up the hype. He projects to becoming more of an interior offensive lineman at the next level and we think he’ll be incredibly successful, wherever he ends up. For us, it’s the combination of skills and drive that puts Kester in a spot all by himself. Kester knows how to use his hands and has multiple ways to beat his opponent. Then he doesn’t have a battery that runs out and is going to make you fight for all four quarters.

Jenks offensive lineman Ryley Kester Ryley Kester 6'4" | 265 lbs | OL Jenks | 2026 State OK continues to be the unquestioned top offensive lineman in the state’s 2026 class. This offseason, Kester moved from Sand Springs to Jenks and immediately made the Jenks offensive line a unit to watch this season. We’ve said this in the past but it’s incredibly relevant when you’re talking about the type of player that Kester is. The Jenks junior is arguably the most aggressive offensive lineman in Oklahoma. He plays with a mean streak that you either have or you don’t have. He’s not a dirty player by any means but he is looking to punish the guy in front of him on every single snap. He’s been one of our favorite players to watch in person, whether it’s in a game or camp setting, he looks to dominate every rep he gets.

Sand Springs 2026 offensive lineman Ryley Kester Ryley Kester 6'4" | 265 lbs | OL Jenks | 2026 State OK has been on our radar since the summer prior to his freshman season. He hasn’t disappointed and has continued to grow as one of the state’s very best at his position. Kester worked at the center position on Sunday and he impressed us once again. Kester came to our camp last April and he walked away with the MVP award for his position. And the thing that stood out to us that day was the same thing that stood out to us on Sunday. The mean streak. Kester looks to punish his opponents and he only has one mission when the ball is snapped and that’s to put his opponent down.
