was one of the best wide receivers in the state and he only backed up that claim during his junior season. Shettron once again put up big numbers, despite being double teamed on a constant basis. He also was a playmaker in the return game as Santa Fe would get very creative with how to use their junior star.

. It didn’t take long to figure out that Brown would be one of the best defensive ends in Oklahoma. Brown would finish with 15 sacks on the season and had a memorable interception in the state title game. Brown will go into 2021 as one of the best defensive players in the state, with a very high ceiling.

and he’s been doing it for over two years now. Wright was once again an absolute wrecking ball for the Wolverines up front.

was one of, if not the best ball hawks in the state of Oklahoma this season. The Ram standout finished off his senior season with 11 interceptions on the season and also had 19 for his career. He would rewrite the record book at Owasso when it came to interceptions.

had already committed to OU and was considered one of the best in Oklahoma. He backed that up in a big way and took his game to the next level, helping lead the Yellowjackets to the state title game. Mukes doesn’t have the stats as some of the other DB’s but that’s because opposing offenses wouldn’t test the Choctaw standout. Mukes would shut down opposing passing games.
