The state of Arkansas will be well represented this coming weekend at the Dallas Pylon 7-on-7 tournament. We are going to look at some prospects to keep an eye on in this tournament.
Jabrae Shaw Jabrae Shaw 5'11" | 190 lbs | ATH Little Rock Mills | 2023 State AR -Athlete-Little Rock Mills-2023
One prospect that has been on a role since the 7-on-7 circuit started is Jabrae Shaw Jabrae Shaw 5'11" | 190 lbs | ATH Little Rock Mills | 2023 State AR . Shaw has a knack for making plays on both sides of the ball. On the offensive side of the ball, he uses his speed well to create separation from opposing defensive backs. Meanwhile, on the defensive side of the ball is a nightmare for opposing wide receivers to separate from. Shaw is one player with the potential to have a big tournament in Dallas.
Landon Jones Landon Jones 5'11" | 155 lbs | WR Lonoke | 2023 State AR -Wide Receiver-Lonoke-2023
To say Landon Jones Landon Jones 5'11" | 155 lbs | WR Lonoke | 2023 State AR has excellent speed is a bit of an understatement. He has the ability to turn a short pass pattern into an explosive one. Jones does a great job of creating separation by using his speed. He has a big opportunity to put his speed and pass catching ability on display this weekend. I expect Jones to cause plenty of headaches for the opposing cornerbacks in Dallas this weekend.
Preston Davis Preston Davis 5'11" | 210 lbs | LB Little Rock Christian | 2024 State AR -Linebacker-Little Rock Christian-2024
The Little Rock Christian linebacker exploded on to the scene during the 2021 football season. He is a prospect that continues to impress in 7-on-7 play. Davis uses his impressive speed to give opposing wide receivers plenty of problems. Davis showed that he could pick off passes during the regular season and has the opportunity to open some eyes this weekend in Dallas. Davis is a tackling machine and a player to watch out for during the 2022 football season.
Zamarion Wilson Zamarion Wilson 5'10" | 180 lbs | ATH Hot Springs | 2023 State AR -Defensive Back-Hot Springs-2023
Wilson is a tenacious defensive back that causes plenty of problems for opposing quarterbacks and wide receivers. In 2021, Wilson picked off four passes and made 44 tackles on the season. He has developed into a defensive back that quarterbacks tend to avoid throwing at. The Hot Springs defensive back has a chance to terrorize plenty of quarterbacks and wide receivers this weekend in Dallas.
Bryce Perkins Bryce Perkins 6'2" | 175 lbs | QB Van Buren | 2024 State AR -Quarterback-Van Buren-2024
Over the past few weeks, Perkins has shown that he can play any position ask of him. However, Perkins has the arm and ability to pick apart opposing defenses. The Van Buren quarterback can fit the ball into some tight windows. Perkins has done a great job over the past few weeks in 7-on-7 competition, and I look for that trend to continue in Dallas over the weekend.
Blair Ken Irvin III Blair Ken Irvin III 6'1" | 175 lbs | WR BENTONVILLE | 2026 State AR -Wide Receiver-Bentonville-2026
One player that has opened eyes of late is Blair Ken Irvin III Blair Ken Irvin III 6'1" | 175 lbs | WR BENTONVILLE | 2026 State AR . The Bentonville wide receiver has displayed excellent hands and a knack for hauling in tough receptions. One facet of Irvin III’s game that does not get enough respect is his speed. He has the speed to create separation and his routes are extremely smooth. Irvin III is a prospect that has the ability to explode on to the scene in Dallas this weekend.
Anton Pierce Anton Pierce 6'3" | 205 lbs | DB Little Rock Mills | 2023 State AR -Defensive Back-Little Rock Mills-2023
Pierce has been lighting up the 7-on-7 circuit over the past few tournaments, and I do not expect that trend to stop this weekend. Pierce is a player that can make plays on both sides of the field. However, his play sticks out on the defensive side of the ball. He can highpoint the football better than most wide receivers. Pierce is a player that folks will want to watch out for in Dallas.
