Every year the Bulldogs make deep playoff runs that result in an appearance at War Memorial Stadium. In 2021, the Bulldogs reached the state championship game but fell just short against the El Dorado Wildcats. We are going to look at some key players returning for the 2022 season and what can be expected in the fall.
Looking first at the offensive side of the ball for the Bulldogs. The quarterback position is always one that is deep and talented for Greenwood and that will be true in 2022. Quarterback Hunter Houston Hunter Houston 6'2" | 205 lbs | QB Greenwood | 2023 State AR will return for his senior season. Houston had a strong season in 2021. He threw for 3,080 yards and 26 touchdowns. He has a strong arm, and he does a good job of hitting the open wide receiver in stride. Another quarterback that is coming up through the ranks is Kane Archer Kane Archer 6'1" | 205 lbs | QB Greenwood Bulldogs | 2026 State AR . Archer already has three scholarship offers and is a prospect that is going to light up Friday nights in the future.
Meanwhile, the Greenwood receiving corps is always a talented one and usually has two or three guys that can put up big numbers. With Peyton Carter and Luke Brewer Luke Brewer 6'1" | 185 lbs | WR Greenwood | 2022 State AR both moving on, the Bulldogs are going to be counting on some guys to step up in 2022. LJ Robins LJ Robins 5'11" | 165 lbs | WR Greenwood | 2024 State AR is a player that will see some at the running back spot as well as the wide receiver position. Robins racked up over 1,200 yards receiving last season and has the potential for a bigger season in 2022.
At the running back spot, Jake Glover Jake Glover 5'5" | 145 lbs | RB Greenwood | 2023 State AR and LJ Robins LJ Robins 5'11" | 165 lbs | WR Greenwood | 2024 State AR will both see snaps at the position. Both are adapt at catching the ball out of the backfield. Robins and Glover each have good speed and the ability to make people miss. Greenwood does a great job of keeping the running backs involved in the passing game. However, the Bulldogs are anything but a one-dimensional football team. Keep an eye on the rushing attack.
The defensive side of the ball has always been a scrappy bunch for the Greenwood Bulldogs. Linebacker Evan Williams was all over the field for the Bulldogs a season ago. Williams racked up 138 tackles and 10 tackles for loss a season ago. Sophomore Eli Whitaker Eli Whitaker 5'11" | 175 lbs | LB Greenwood | 2024 State AR is a linebacker coming up through the ranks to keep an eye out for over the next two seasons. He plays with good speed and can live in the opposing backfield if not accounted properly. The Bulldogs always have a talented group and the 2022 season should not be any different.
