High school football schedules for the 2026 season are beginning to drop nationwide, and the football-rich state of Oklahoma is no exception. Among the powerhouse programs finalizing their fall slates is the Jenks Trojans, a perennial contender and a consistent pipeline for college talent.

Coming off a stellar 10-2 campaign that ended in the Oklahoma Class 6A-I state semifinals with a heartbreaking 39-36 loss to eventual finalist Owasso, the Trojans are poised for another run. They finished last season ranked No. 2 in the state by Massey Ratings and return a core of key players, including promising 2027 three-star offensive tackle Odaefe Oruru and safety Kailib Dillard.

The newly released 2026 schedule promises a thrilling gauntlet for the Trojans. It features a high-profile, out-of-state opener against Texas powerhouse Southlake Carroll at the historic Cotton Bowl, followed by a challenging mix of in-state rivalries and tough road tests. The full schedule is as follows:

Aug. 27 – at Southlake Carroll (TX), 7 p.m. (Cotton Bowl)
