Prep Redzone Oklahoma was on hand for the Sooner7 Classic 7v7 tournament in Broken Arrow over the weekend. We saw some outstanding football from start to finish and starting today and continuing over the next few days, we’ll be highlighting some of the top performers from the action we saw first hand. We kicked things off in the last few days by highlighting the top performers we saw.
Michael’s Top Performers
Jake’s Top Performers
We continue that coverage today by looking at some of the standouts from C4’s 15U team that has a good mix of Southern Oklahoma and Northern Texas players. Be sure to stay locked into the website for more coverage from the Sooner7 Classic and as always you can follow us on Twitter for all the latest in high school football in Oklahoma. @PrepRedzoneOK
Ethan Richardson – 2024 WR – Leonard, TX
First up is one of the best performers of all the 15U WRs that I got to watch a lot of. Richardson is only a freshman but is already 6’3″ 180 Lbs. with a great frame to add some more strength and weight. Besides having a casual 10 touchdowns on the weekend, Ethan flashed a good ability to separate with his route running and speed, and he put his vertical and ball skills on full display as he had some of the best catches of the weekend on numerous jump ball situations where he was vastly outnumbered in coverage. Richardson is a guy we really enjoyed watching and one that Texas high school fans and recruiters need to have on their watch list as a potential breakout star in 2021.
Phoenix Grant – 2023 QB – Sherman, TX
Grant took the majority of the QB snaps for this C4 Future team and he looked the part of a QB1 for the majority of the tournament. The wind was a huge factor on some deep throws that died in the air for Grant and all the QBs in Broken Arrow over the weekend, but even when throwing straight into it, Grant threw nice tight spirals for most of the tournament. We also really liked the touch and timing he displayed on intermediate throws outside the hashes along with his poise towards the end of some of their close games. Size isn’t a concern with Grant as he is 6’1″ and is listed at 170 already. The connection between him and Richardson was lethal over the weekend and should be one that we see a lot of at these events.
Aaron Lyle – 2024 WR/DB – Wynnewood, OK
The first of our 2 Oklahoma standouts from this team is one that I was really surprised with. Lyle played free safety for most of the weekend and had one of the most productive tournaments of all the 15U DBs I saw. Lyle is only 5’11” 150ish pounds but what he lacked in size and play strength he certainly made up for with speed, instincts, and ball skills. Lyle was constantly baiting QBs into deep throws over the middle before closing on the ball quickly and either deflecting the pass or picking it off and taking it the other way. Lyle is still incredibly young and a bit undersized, so his recruitment may not take off in the near future, but he has already shown he has the athleticism and instincts to play at a high level in pass coverage. If he can continue to grow physically and as a defensive back we could be looking at a future sleeper for the 2024 class.
Blake Stewart – 2024 RB/WR – Sulphur, OK
Stewart is a guy that caught my eye early on in the tournament because of his body type and frame. He’s about 6’1″ and looked to be about 170-180 Lbs but looked more like a traditional RB than a 70n7 pass catcher. I then had a chance to see him on the field in C4’s 2nd or 3rd game and really liked what I saw. He has a great body for the running back position and showed some natural, soft hands to go with his good speed off the ball and in the open field with the ball. If Stewart can become a consistent producer in the passing game over the off-season his stock and value for both high school and college coaches will rise pretty quickly.
