William Voos – 2026 | Running Back | Sabetha High School (KS) | @WillVoos
Named Combine Champion and MVP, Voos delivered elite performances across multiple testing categories. His speed, explosiveness, and power caught the eyes of coaches and scouts, and his work ethic stood out even more. A powerlifter and track standout, Voos is driven by a relentless desire to improve. With consistent top-tier camp performances and growing interest from 7v7 programs, Voos is poised for a major recruiting surge.
Jaylon Harris – 2026 | Wide Receiver | Cedar Vale High School (KS) | @JaylonHarr3
At 6-foot-4, 215 pounds, Harris was impossible to miss during the combine. His size was matched by his athleticism and body control. He made multiple acrobatic catches and displayed his ability to box out defenders using his frame. Already holding an offer from McPherson College, his recruitment will likely escalate with further exposure this fall.
Nelson “Lik” Armstrong – 2026 | Running Back | Wellington High School (KS) | @JalikArmstrong
Armstrong posted the fastest 40-yard dash of the day at 3.39 seconds, demonstrating elite acceleration. Already offered by McPherson, Armstrong validated that interest by showing he’s more than just speed, he is a capable receiver out of the backfield and a legitimate three-down back.

Clocking in at 4.41 seconds in the 40-yard dash, Harris showed that he is among the fastest players in his class. With his talent and his position in a hotbed of football recruiting, Harris is expected to attract increased attention and scholarship offers heading into his sophomore season.
Genesis Cooper – 2026 | Defensive Back/Wide Receiver | Highland Park High School (KS) | @GenesisCoo5558
In his first-ever camp, Cooper turned heads with natural ability, top-end speed, and raw athleticism. Conversations with coaches and scouts confirmed what the tape showed, he has tremendous upside. With more camp exposure, position training, and 7v7 reps, Cooper could emerge as a major recruit.
Trevon Brooks – 2027 | Wide Receiver | Santa Fe Trail High School (KS) | @TrevonBrooks919
Only a junior, Brooks displayed sharp route-running and the physicality to fight through defenders during one-on-one drills. At 5-foot-10, 165 pounds, he is a promising slot receiver who will elevate his recruiting profile with continued exposure and Friday night production.
Malachi Hines – 2026 | Defensive Back | Wichita Southeast High School (KS) | @uhhMali_
One of the most polished defensive backs at the event, Hines shut down receivers in one-on-one drills using strong fundamentals and elite footwork. He recorded a 4.23 Pro Agility and a 31.4-inch vertical, highlighting his explosiveness and coverage range.
Brody Sedlacek – 2027 | Linebacker | Hanover High School (KS) | @BrodySedlacek
Sedlacek impressed with strong instincts, lateral quickness, and the ability to stay with running backs and tight ends in coverage. His pass-rushing skills and pursuit angles made him one of the more complete linebackers in attendance.
Cayden Couchman – 2026 | Running Back | Scott City Community High School (KS) | @CouchmanCa2802
Standing at 6-foot-3 and weighing 190 pounds, Couchman combines ideal size with acceleration out of the backfield. Expect him to generate significant recruiting interest with a productive junior season.

A versatile athlete, Marcotte returns kicks, runs with authority, and provides strong coverage and tackling from the linebacker position. At 5-foot-11, 185 pounds, he is a threat both as a running back and a defensive asset.
Rylan Morrell – 2027 | Running Back/Linebacker | Nickerson High School (KS) | @Rylanmorrell22
Already a well-known talent in Kansas, Morrell proved once again that he is among the top two-way players in his class. As a running back, he is effective both inside and on the perimeter. Defensively, he plays with discipline and instinct. With continued training and quality coaching, he projects as a future Division I recruit.
Braigan Dinkel – 2029 | Quarterback | Russell High School (KS) | @Braigan472809
Despite being from the Class of 2029, Dinkel demonstrated outstanding quarterback mechanics, footwork, and field vision. At 5-foot-9, 165 pounds, he has plenty of time to grow and develop. His dual-threat capability makes him a long-term name to remember.
Leighton Dinkel – 2030 | Wide Receiver | Russell High School (KS) | @LeightonDinkel
A rising star in the Class of 2030, Dinkel already shows strong football instincts, leadership qualities, and athletic upside. His early understanding of the game suggests he will be a top-tier recruit in the coming years.
Ethan Coutre – 2026 | Defensive End | Hesston High School (KS) | @Coutre_Ethan
At 6-foot-2 and 230 pounds, Coutre was the most explosive lineman at the event. He recorded the top vertical (34.4 inches) and best broad jump (10 feet, 7 inches). With a fast first step and advanced pass-rushing technique, Coutre is a top defensive end in the state.

Bryis Alford – 2027 | Quarterback | Baldwin High School (KS) | @bryisalford3
A coach’s dream, Alford was the first in line at every drill. His athleticism is elite for a quarterback, highlighted by a Long Agility time of 11.93 seconds and the fastest L-Cone time of the entire event at 7.00 seconds. He continues to establish himself as one of the hardest-working and most dynamic quarterbacks in his class.
