EDITOR’S CHOICE

These are the top seven players in the Stillwater area hub, ranked by VYPE editors regardless of position.

# 1 Gabe Brown – ILB – Senior – Stillwater 

With multiple DI offers on the table, Gabe Brown is one of the top linebackers in the state and will help Stillwater to another great season. Brown is the prototypical inside linebacker. 

#2 Tyler Voss – RB/LB – Senior – Morrison 

After rushing for nearly 2,000 yards in his junior season, Morrison’s Tyler Voss is looking to lead the Wildcats to another double-digit winning season. Voss had 34 TDs last season. 

#3 Noah Townly – WR – Senior – Cleveland 

A crafty wide receiver for the Tigers, Townly runs crisp routes and understands where the openings are in a defense. His speed allows him to make big gains with every reception. 

#4 Gage Gundy – QB – Junior – Stillwater 

Another gunslinger from the Gundy camp, Gage Gundy has the size and the arm to make a huge impact for the Pioneers this season. Expect Gundy to be a topic of conversation this fall. 

#5 Gabe Martinez – SS – Senior – Cleveland 

Martinez notched 99 tackles and two interceptions last year as a junior. The strong safety also forced one fumble. Martinez plays a fearless and aggressive brand of football.  

#6 Barrett Stevenson – LB – Junior – Pawnee 

This kid is a sideline-to-sideline linebacker who tackles with purpose. Look for Stevenson to thrive in the 4-2-5 scheme the Black Bears will utilize this season. 

#7 Caden Hall – RB/S – Senior – Perry 

Running back/safety Caden Hall was outstanding last year for the Maroons. His production at both positions made him a standout player and someone to watch this season.
