For scouts and fans both it will be a preview of players that should make plenty of plays next season. Let’s take a look at a few of the guys that are going to explode on to the scene next season.
Cameron Vanzant Cameron Vanzant 6'2" | 175 lbs | QB Farmington | 2024 State AR -Quarterback-Farmington
Many people are well aware of Cameron Vanzant Cameron Vanzant 6'2" | 175 lbs | QB Farmington | 2024 State AR . The Farmington signal caller led the Cardinals to 8-3 record in 2021. In the process, he led a dynamic offense that could hit you with the big play or hit you with a time-consuming drive. In 2021, Vanzant threw for 2,407 yards and 28 touchdowns on the season. He is a quarterback that I am expecting big things from over the next few years. The potential he has is impressive and the Cardinals should make plenty of noise next season.
Skylar Purifoy Skylar Purifoy 6'5" | 215 lbs | TE Hot Springs Lakeside | 2024 State AR -Tight End-Hot Springs Lakeside
The Lakeside Rams have plenty of talent at the skill positions. Skylar Purifoy Skylar Purifoy 6'5" | 215 lbs | TE Hot Springs Lakeside | 2024 State AR gives the Rams a big target in the red zone. However, he can make the receptions to extend drives and he uses his 6’5” frame well to high point the football. Purifoy will also block and clear the path for his teammates. The potential for a big 2022 season is something that Purifoy has. Keep an eye on this Lakeside Ram, he is going to be a good one.
Charleston Collins Charleston Collins 6'4" | 240 lbs | DL Little Rock Mills | 2024 State AR -Defensive Line-Pine Bluff
Collins is a versatile defensive lineman that can play the edge rushing position or kick inside and play the tackle spot. He has excellent quickness and can terrorize the opposing quarterback with his speed. At 6’5”, the Pine Bluff defensive lineman can just put his hands up and affect the opposing passing game. Collins has the potential to have a big 2022 season. Pine Bluff is always loaded on the defensive line, and he fits in well with his skill set. Look out for Collins in 2022.
Jonathan Goins Jr Jonathan Goins Jr 6'2" | 205 lbs | ATH Sylvan Hills | 2024 State AR -Athlete-Sylvan Hills
Goins Jr is an impressive athlete and can play all over the field for Sylvan Hills. He saw time at the linebacker position this season and racked up 60 tackles on the season. However, he was not finished there, he also went on to earn all-conference honors on the season. Goins Jr has that mix of power and speed to defeat the blocks and get into the backfield. He is a prospect that I expect to have an even bigger 2022 season. Goins Jr has a very high ceiling, and he has the potential to explode next season.
Cooper Jones Cooper Jones 6'3" | 215 lbs | LB Little Rock Christian | 2024 State AR -Linebacker-Little Rock Christian
Jones reads the plays well and is not caught out of position. He can play either the linebacker or safety positions and is not afraid to deliver a blow. Jones plays with a chip on his shoulder and can make plays on the football. He is a player that uses his hands well to defeat blocks and he will not miss tackles. Jones is a player that was impressive in 2021 and I expect him to be even more impressive 2022.
