FOOTBALL
Bayler Black – Caddo
Bayler was on track to earn All-District honors before an injury sidelined him for half the season. Despite the setback, he still posted outstanding numbers: 66 total tackles, 52 solo stops, 10 tackles for loss, and 1 sack. A true student of the game and a rare athletic talent, Bayler has all the tools to become a special player. As a coach’s kid, his football IQ, work ethic, and leadership speak for themselves.
Easton Loudermilk – Coalgate
Easton is a big, strong athlete who moves exceptionally well. He consistently hauls in tough catches on offense and is a relentless pass-rusher on defense, always finding a way to get to the quarterback.
Bryce Bee & Jecoryous Frost – Idabel
Sophomore Bryce Bee is an explosive young talent who is expected to be a force in the trenches for years to come. Freshman Jecoryous brings a dynamic presence to the skill positions and has the potential to start on both sides of the ball in his first year—an exciting prospect for the future of the program.
Christian Smith – Madill
A dedicated two-sport athlete, he approaches everything he does with purpose and intensity. He constantly evaluates and critiques himself in every aspect, always striving to be the best version of himself for whichever sport is in season.
Rodney Washington – McAlester
Unbelievably talented, he was underutilized last season—but as just a freshman, that was to be expected. Now, with a year of varsity football experience under his belt, he’s poised for a breakout season at wide receiver.
Andy Perez & Kaden Susstairre – Quinton
These incoming freshmen have shown great promise at the junior high level. They’re hardworking, high-character kids with a ton of potential and a bright future ahead.
Carter Cole – Sulphur
A versatile 6’2″, 185-pound athlete, he can line up at multiple positions for the Bulldogs—including quarterback, wide receiver, free safety, and cornerback. He’s also a dangerous return man on special teams. After seeing significant playing time as a freshman in 2024, he’s set to have a major impact in the 2025 season.
Ryder Evans – Valliant
Ryder is a 6’3″, 195-pound sophomore who made several impactful plays last season, highlighted by a pick-six, despite limited playing time. With a full year of growth, maturity, and work in the weight room, 2025 has all the makings of a breakout season for him.
