There were quite a few Oklahoma high school football quarterbacks who turned in phenomenal performance in Week 5.

As a matter of fact, there was one quarterback who was literally perfect, completing all 21 of his pass attempts while throwing for more than 400 yards and five TDs. Other quarterbacks had huge nights both throwing and running with the football.

And there were other standouts in the state, too, one of which completed one of the most bizarre touchdowns someone may ever see.

Now, it’s your turn to determine who should be the latest High School On SI Oklahoma Football Player of the Week for the 2026 season. Read about the Week 5 nominees below, then cast your vote in the poll. 

Congratulations to the winner of last week’s voting: Kion Floranda of Midwest City Carl Albert, who kicked a 23-yard field goal in the final seconds of the Titans’ 17-16 win against Guthrie, which tied the 11-man record of the longest winning streak in state history at 58 consecutive wins.
