Donovan Whitten Donovan Whitten 6'3" | 220 lbs | QB Arkadelphia | 2023 State AR -Arkadelphia
Whitten is a sophomore that has the perfect size for the quarterback position. He does an impressive job of keeping his eyes down the field as he is moving around in the pocket. Whitten is a player that is a dangerous dual-threat option at the quarterback position. Whitten is not brought down on the initial contact, in fact, he is usually looking to deliver the shot instead of taking one. He has played on both sides of the ball for Arkadelphia. Whitten has played the linebacker position and he has done well at the linebacker spot as well. Whitten is going to be a player to keep an eye on whether it be on the offensive side or the defensive side of the ball.

The first characteristic that observers notice about Luke King Luke King 6'2" | 205 lbs | QB Hazen | 2023 State AR is that he is not afraid to throw the deep ball.
