Cory Nichols Cory Nichols 6'0" | 180 lbs | ATH Bryant | 2023 State AR (23) | 6-0 QB/ WR | Bryant HS
Dual-threat QB is a two-sport athlete who plays basketball and football. Something coaches love seeing nowadays, two-sport athletes. He has very impressive speed and is a physical runner. Skills at QB and receiver should improve over time.

Chris Gannaway (23) | 5-9 RB / WR / SS | Bryant HS
Another two-sport basketball and football player. I like Chris’s speed and athletic ability as a return man and out of the backfield at running back. I think he will be a name to know as he gets more film out next season. But what I did see in his film was a back that can run in between the tackles and be shaky and makes defenders miss with his juke moves.

Brooks Edmonson Brooks Edmonson 6'4" | 275 lbs | OL Bryant | 2022 State AR (22) | 6-4 OL | Bryant HS
Brooks Is a versatile O-linemen that can play multiple positions, either guard or tackle. He keeps a good base and , loves his feet well. Once he makes contact with a player he locks on and has a good drive on defenders. Overall a good offensive linemen with good size and a lot fo potential.
Jack Cleveland (22) | 6-0 | Robinson HS
Underrated because of his height and size. Mechanics and footwork could use improvement but this is a good division II or III quarterback with a strong arm and decent speed. He can roll out to either side and throw a stirk off balance. He shows good velocity and touch on throws and is proficient in the short to the medium passing game.
Daryl Searcy Jr (22) | 6-0 RM/MLB | Robinson HS
FBS/FCS level prospect with dangerous speed and cut back ability out of the backfield. Holds offer to Arkansas State, Memphis, and North Texas. He is a well-built back with a solid base. He has the ability lateral speed to make a cut back running full speed at a defender and make them miss so that he can take it all the way. This back is amazing and I suspect more offers will come in for him very soon. His ability to run in between the tackles and vision to make moves before defenders know what to do is amazing.
Anthony Freeman Jr. (22) | 5-10 RB/DB | Robinson HS
A lengthy running back who is more known for his speed than his physicality. He won’t run over defenders but he will outrun them. His long strides allow him to accelerate at a higher level than most. He can catch out of the backfield or even be lined up at receiver. Probably a good division II or III type of a prospect.
Ashtyn Williams ( 23) | 5-11 MLB/WR | Robinson HS
I liked this linebacker’s size and physicality. This guy looks to take someone’s head off on every play. I think if he bulked up a little bit more he would be a solid FBS/FCS level prospect that has very good athleticism and potential. His ability to attack the ball is relentless. He can fly in for a TFL or sack in a blink of an eye.

E’Marion Harris E’Marion Harris 6'7" | 375 lbs | OL Joe T. Robinson | 2022 State AR (22) | 6-6 OL/DL | Robinson HS
E’Marion is one of Prepredzone’s top-ranked offensive linemen, and arguably one of the best in his class. This lineman has offers from Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Oklahoma, and many others. There is a strong possibility he could end up staying in-state and signing with Arkansas but there is also strong interest from Oklahoma and a tug a war battle is taking place for one of the best. He has a devastating first punch and is a nasty blocker. He is also surprisingly very athletic for his size and could see him being utilized as a pulling guard that just demolished defenders on pulling plays for Harris. We will see where he chooses to play and update accordingly.
Parker Perry Parker Perry 6'4" | 175 lbs | WR Little Rock Parkview | 2022 State AR (22) | 6-4 WR | Parkview HS
Obviously, Parker is an amazing physical specimen at 6-4 and is a great NO.1 receiver on the outside. Definitely a great FBS/FCs type of prospect who can run decent routes and has good speed. He shows kick feet at the line of scrimmage and can fake out defenders and get open
C/22 WR’ (@ParkerPerry20) is a real problem at 6’4‼️ pic.twitter.com/BdMI6e5heD

Jaylon White (22) | 6-3 DB/QB | Parkview HS
Ballhawk on defense. He will light someone up like a Christmas tree coming downhill on a runner. He is a tough, physically hitter and can cover the field in the defensive backfield very well. I will say he is more of a hybrid defender at FS. He is big enough to play linebacker but fast and athletic enough to play DB. Terrific athlete and I would love to have him on my team as a coach because he will bring a spark and ignite the defense when it may be down. All it takes is for one big hit to ignite the fire of the rest of the defense and Jaylon can sure deliver. Oh and he plays basketball as well and is just as good on the court as he is on the gridiron.

James Jointer James Jointer 6'0" | 205 lbs | RB Little Rock Parkview | 2022 State AR (22) | 6-0 RB/SS | Parkview HS
No need for introductions here, James is one of the best running backs in his class. Which is why he is highly ranked on ours. James is your all-purpose back, maybe even a bruiser. But I wouldn’t want to take away from his speed because this guy can fly. Give him the open space to make a few moves and he’ll be gone in an instant. I love that he can be physical as well, put his head down, and plow in between the tackles-on-goal-line situations. This back can do it all. Look to have a high ceiling in college and could even make a name for himself in the pros. Arkansas is very interested in James as well as many others counting James 27 division one offers.
Joseph Himon II ( 22) | 5-10 RB/SS | Pulaski Academy
Joseph has had an outstanding career so far earning him interest from colleges like Kansas, Louisiana Tech, Louisville, and Miami. His career stats total 3225 yards rushing on 317 carries, 39 rushing touchdowns, and 57 total. This guy is a beast, and he can gas defenses with his elite speed. This is your speedster back who you can also feed a bunch of times and hit out of the backfield with a lot of receptions. Terrific back and I cant wait to see his senior season and where he ends up picking to go. Sources close say Kansas is among favorites as well as Miami and SMU. His top ten list is a respectable one.
Blessed to be in this position! pic.twitter.com/jTDkdumgTr

Charlie Fiser (22) | 6-1 QB | Pulaski Academy
In Charlie’s junior year he threw for over 2700 yards and 38 touchdowns. He has a 4.56 GPA and a 29 ACT, he’s a very bright student-athlete. I think would make good division II or II prospects. Nothing really well honestly wow you about Charlie’s physical build or game but he is a decent quarterback with requisite arm strength and plays for a well-coached team.
