Players to watch
Reid Macon, 6-0, 175-pound, QB, Sr.
Minus the first half of the first game in program history four years ago, Macon is the only starting quarterback the Wolves have ever had. Macon has taken that job seriously and run with it tallying an incredible 30-10 record as the starting quarterback while becoming one of the top passers in the entire state. As a junior last season, the reigning Press Pass Sports 2024 Player of the Year threw for 3,528 yards with 36 touchdowns.
Kane White-Tinsley, 6-1, 175-pounds, Sr.
White-Tinsley can is a dangerous threat on the outside and a playmaker on the defensive side. Offensively, White-Tinsley caught 64 passes for 1,064 yards with 12 touchdowns. In the secondary, White-Tinsley was a force racking up 55 tackles with an eye-popping nine interceptions.
Keegan Collins, 6-6, 285-pounds, OL-DL, Sr.
The Kansas State commit was a 2024 All-State selection and earned a reputation as one of the top lineman not only in the Texas Panhandle but across the state with his weekly play. Gifted with size, Collins put in the work and made life miserable for defensive lineman grading out at 97 percent with 49 pancake blocks.
Boston Ladd, 5-10, 165-pounds, WR-DB, Sr.
Ladd is a Swiss Army Knife for head coach Adam Cummings and always delivers when called upon. As a receiver, Ladd made 37 catches for 415 yards with four TDs, but it was his defense that shined. Ladd can play multiple defensive positions racking up 84 tackles with six interceptions.
