One big headline this offseason has been all the moving of top prospects around Oklahoma. Included in that storyline have been out of state products that are now in Oklahoma. And we have another one heading our way. On Tuesday night, Prep Redzone Oklahoma learned that 2025 running back Hudson Ball Hudson Ball 6'2" | 210 lbs | DL Jenks | 2025 State OK has enrolled at Jenks. Ball played his freshman year at Arkansas powerhouse Shiloh Christian in Springdale. However, he’s enrolled at Jenks and will join the Trojan football team.
Ball is the latest out of state prospect to come into Oklahoma and the second that has landed at Jenks in the last week. Former California 2026 quarterback Jackson Presley has joined the Trojan football team and was out with the Trojans on Monday night during passing league at Union. Other notable out of state move-ins include Deer Creek 2023 DB Dale Miller Dale Miller 5'10" | 165 lbs | DB Deer Creek | 2023 State OK , formerly of Hoover, Alabama. And then Durant 2024 DL XaDavien Sims XaDavien Sims 6'4" | 275 lbs | DL Durant | 2024 State OK , formerly of Sherman, Texas.
Just like with those last two prospects, Ball is already on the radar even though he just wrapped up his freshman year. This breakdown was from Tommy Tabler, who covers Arkansas for our brother site Prep Redzone Arkansas. He had this analysis of Ball.
“The Shiloh Christian running back is one of the most versatile running backs in the state of Arkansas. Ball runs with a good mix of power and speed. He is one of those running backs that can rush it between the tackles or cut it to the outside and take it for a big gain. One facet of his game that tends to get overlooked is ability to catch the football. Ball is a running back that I expect big things from over the next couple of seasons.”
Ball is ranked by the Arkansas site as a running back and was rated as the #2 running back and is #14 overall in the state’s 2025 class. He also played defense and that will certainly be an option for him at Jenks. The Trojan backfield is already pretty loaded with 2023 running backs Jaiden Carroll Jaiden Carroll 5'10" | 180 lbs | RB Jenks | 2023 State OK and Jalyn Stanford Jalyn Stanford 6'0" | 180 lbs | DB Jenks | 2023 State OK both returning. However, both Carroll and Stanford also play defense so there could be some reps for Ball at running back while those guys get a breather.
