Hawkins has a set of productive wide receivers to target downfield. Adrian Scott leads the way with 27 catches, 468 yards receiving, 4 TDs. Dom Bruester and Jermaine Adams Jr. are close behind with Bruester’s 20 catches, 173 yards, and 1 TD and Adams’ 15 Catches, 315 Yards for 4.
Broken Arrow sits at 6-3, their only losses of the season to Owasso, Jenks, and Edmond Santa Fe. With three-star ILB Darryan Moss back from injury, Putnam City will be facing off against a Tigers team in fighting shape.
Tigers Players to Watch
4-star junior RB/CB Maurion Horn – Recruited as an athlete, Horn has offers from Arkansas, Oregon, Texas, USC, Kansas, Baylor, Nebraska, Oklahoma State, and OU among others. He and his partner Sanchez Banks account for nearly 200 rushing yards per game on average. Banks actually leads the team in touchdowns, but the combination of Banks and Horn is lethal.

On his path to playing Division One football, @DarryanMoss, a playmaking linebacker and Weber State target, has overcome every challenge he has faced. #PurpleReign #WeAreWeberhttps://t.co/mZA51keGM5— Weber State Weekly (@WeberStateWkly) October 27, 2020
WR/FS RJ Spears-Jennings – no offers yet, but Memphis is courting him. He has had a huge impact in his Junior season, leading the team in receiving yards and becoming a force on kick returns.
Check out Broken Arrow's big timer, could end up being the best WR in the '22 class, no doubt right at the top of that class, size and great hands, break away speed and a frame built to make big plays, Jennings has interest from Memphis and we think will be a huge prospect. https://t.co/x80n2L3Tjx
