2026 Sports in Kansas Boys🏀 Defensive Player of the Year (All-Classes)
Sam Simmons Jr., Olathe North Sr.
Cam Love, Olathe North Sr.
Leo Schoenberger, Baldwin Sr.
Jack Herd, South Central Sr.
Dayne Johnson, Silver Lake Sr. (Not pictured)
Five of the top defenders in Kansas, representing all levels of the state while showcasing elite defensive impact regardless of class.
The Defensive Player of the Year selections are not done strictly by classification. Instead, we select five players statewide as part of our All-Classes Defensive Team.
Our process/criteria/guidelines guarantees representation across the state:
• At least one player has to be from large schools (6A/5A)
• At least one player has to be from mid-sized schools (4A/3A)
• At least one player has to be from small schools (2A/1A-I/1A-II)
The remaining selections are awarded to the best overall defensive players in Kansas, regardless of class.
This allows us to recognize elite defensive impact at every level of the state while still honoring the very best players, no matter where they play.
Full bios and interviews to follow tonight and tomorrow.
