Mobly Named OCA Athlete Of The Year

Former 3-Sport Bulldog And Navy Signee Named State’s Top Athlete

One of the most accomplished athletes ever to wear a Sulphur Bulldog uniform has added another prestigious honor to an already remarkable career.

Sulphur High School graduate Maddax Mobly was named the Oklahoma Coaches Association Male Athlete of the Year during the organization’s Hall of Fame Banquet Saturday evening on the campus of the University of Central Oklahoma. The statewide honor recognizes Mobly’s outstanding achievements in football, wrestling and baseball, capping a high school career that ranks among the finest in Sulphur history. Now preparing to begin his freshman year at the United States Naval Academy, Mobly was unable to attend the ceremony because of his commitments at the academy. His parents, Chad and Jodie Mobly, along with his sister, Makella, accepted the award on his behalf.

The recognition comes just months after Mobly was honored as the Bill Lannom Male Athlete of the Year during Sulphur High School’s annual All-Sports Banquet, where he was celebrated for an athletic career defined not only by record-breaking performances but also by exceptional leadership.

Sulphur Athletic Director and Head Football Coach Corey Cole said Mobly’s impact on the Bulldog athletic program extended far beyond statistics.

“He is one of the most accomplished and decorated athletes in the history of Sulphur athletics,” Cole said. “Maddax is the best servant leader I have had the pleasure to coach. He is loved and respected by his teammates and opponents for his will to win and his desire to make everyone around him better. He is the most dynamic athlete we have ever had, but more importantly, he is an even better young man who serves as an incredible influence for the current and future athletes of Sulphur.”

Cole said Mobly’s greatest legacy is the example he set for others.

“Maddax had an incredible career at Sulphur in football, wrestling and baseball. His stat lines were amazing, but his biggest contribution wasn’t any stat line. It was his ability as a leader at Sulphur,” Cole said. “He didn’t care about personal accolades. He just wanted the Bulldogs to win and was willing to do whatever it took to make that happen.”

Mobly’s accomplishments speak for themselves.

On the football field, he became the first player in Sulphur history to earn First Team All-State honors from The Daily Oklahoman. He was also selected First Team All-State by the Tulsa World, earned Oklahoma Coaches AssociationAll-State honors, was chosen for the OCA Class 3A All-Star Team, and received First Team All-State recognition from Prep Redzone.

A four-year starter who played in 50 career games, Mobly rewrote the Sulphur record book. He finished his career with a school-record 91 total touchdowns, 6,741 all-purpose yards, 121 receptions, 2,231 receiving yards and 26 receiving touchdowns. He also rushed for 3,602 yards and 58 touchdowns while recording 318 tackles, 10 interceptions and seven fumble recoveries on defense.

His success continued on the wrestling mat, where he compiled a 98-26 career record. Mobly captured two regional championships, qualified for the state tournament three times, and earned third-place finishes at the state tournament in both 2025 and 2026.

On the baseball diamond, Mobly was a four-year starter who finished with a .365 career batting average while collecting 102 hits and scoring 103 runs.

The Oklahoma Coaches Association honor serves as the latest recognition for a young man whose accomplishments have left a lasting mark on Sulphur athletics. While the records and awards are impressive, those who coached and competed alongside Mobly say his greatest achievement was the leadership, character and selflessness he displayed throughout his career.

The Oklahoma Coaches Association also recognized Kelby Beller, of Washington, as its Female Athlete of the Year. Beller earned the statewide honor after excelling in basketball, football, track and field, cross country, fast-pitch softball and slow-pitch softball.
