OKC Public Schools
QB Shyheim Johnson 6-1, 190, Sr. Putnam City West Patriots
Johnson may not be on your radar now, but by the end of the season you will certainly know his name. Johnson can hurt you with his arm or his legs. Look for the senior to have a best year as a Patriot.
RB Colin “King” Bruner 5-10, 165, Sr. Crooked Oak Ruf-Nex
A hard runner, Colin “King” Bruner has the speed to outrun a defense and the power to run through would-be tacklers. Bruner will have some big games this season and will find himself on some watch lists as the season moves forward.
WR Jaden Nickens 6-3, 190, Jr. Millwood Falcons
One of the top receivers in the state, Jaden Nickens has the size, speed and hands to hurt a defense on any given play. Nickens will stretch the field for the Falcons giving them a serious deep ball threat. He is being recruited by several DI teams.
OL Adam Owedetallah 6-3, 255, Sr. Putnam City North Panthers
Maybe the best offensive lineman not getting as much publicity as he should. The Panthers tackle has the strength to battle in the trench and the technique to beat more athletic defensive players.
DL Alexis Hernandez 5-9, 276, Sr. U.S. Grant Generals
Considered undersized for the position, Alexis Hernandez is a tough, physical player who ignores the size advantage most offensive linemen will have. Anyone battling Hernandez will finish the game knowing it was a fight all night long.
LB Brayden Knox 6-3, 215, Sr. Putnam City Pirates
With his size and speed, Brayden Knox comes into his final season as one of the top linebackers in the OKC area. Knox is getting looks from college prospects and should find a home at the next level.
DB Cha’Uncley Law 6-1, 205, Sr. Southeast Spartans
A two-way starter for the Spartans, Cha’Uncley Law is a dynamic player who can shut down a passing game with his ability to read, react to the ball. Law will have an impact on offense as well as a wide receiver.
