Continue ReadingOne of my favorite articles to write is the article that discusses the players that have moved up in the rankings since the last rankings update. The class of 2023 is a class that continues to impress me with just how talented it is. In this article, we are going to highlight the prospects that moved up in the rankings since the last update. We will update the recruiting rankings several more times this year so players will be added and moved up the list.
Quincy Rhodes Jr.-Linebacker-North Little Rock
The versatility that that the North Little Rock has is extremely impressive. Rhodes Jr. can shift from the linebacker position to the any of the positions along the defensive line. He has the speed to be a nightmare for opposing offenses. Rhodes Jr. continues to improve and has recently earned a scholarship offer from the University of Arkansas. Rhodes Jr. is a prospect that has had no trouble moving up the rankings.
Donovan Whitten Donovan Whitten 6'3" | 220 lbs | QB Arkadelphia | 2023 State AR -Quarterback-Arkadelphia
The Arkadelphia quarterback has been performing well in the camp circuit over the past few weeks. He finished with a fourth-place finish at the Elite Eleven a few weeks ago. After accounting for 4.287 yards and 49 touchdowns, Whitten has set the bar high for a strong 2022 season. Whitten is one prospect that continues to put in the work during the offseason and that has become evident. He is another player that moved up in this edition of the Prep RedZone Arkansas rankings.
Carter McElhany Carter McElhany 5'7" | 155 lbs | WR Greenbrier | 2023 State AR -Wide Receiver-Greenbrier
One trait that has become clear over the past few months is that McElhany runs extremely smooth routes. The Greenbrier wide receiver has the talent of being able to turn a small gain into an explosive play in the bling of an eye. The past few weeks have seen McElhany continue to hone his craft and mix his route running with his burning speed. McElhany is a wide receiver that continues to improve week and the school that offers him has the chance to wind up with a great wide receiver.
Anton Pierce Anton Pierce 6'3" | 205 lbs | DB Little Rock Mills | 2023 State AR -Defensive Back-Little Rock Mills
Versatility is the name of the game for Anton Pierce Anton Pierce 6'3" | 205 lbs | DB Little Rock Mills | 2023 State AR . The Little Rock Mills prospect plays the safety and wide receiver positions with impressive precision. From the defensive back perspective, he is a player that does a great job of playing the ball in the air. Meanwhile, on the offensive side of the ball Pierce has the athletic ability to go up and snag the ball at its highest point. Pierce has continued to raise his game in the 7-on-7 circuit and has moved up in the rankings in the process.
Amarie Rogers Amarie Rogers 6'4" | 220 lbs | TE Maumelle | 2023 State AR -Tight End-Maumelle
The Maumelle tight end is a player that can perform run and pass blocking duties effectively. Rogers blocks like he has a chip on his shoulder and in the process, it gives him a mean streak. However, Rogers has soft hands and the ability to haul difficult passes in for receptions. He gives Maumelle a major target in the red zone, and he has the potential for a strong 2022 football season. The offseason work has led to Rogers moving up the rankings.
Chris Gannaway Chris Gannaway 5'10" | 175 lbs | RB Bryant | 2023 State AR -Running Back-Bryant
Gannaway has been one of the most consistent performers in the class of 2023. The Bryant running back is everything you want out of an every down running back. He can catch the ball out of the backfield and make plays in the passing game. Gannaway is a patient runner that will wait for the rushing lane to develop before picking his lane. He has played at an extremely high level over the past year, and I look for that trend to continue. Gannaway has the potential to continue his climb in the Prep RedZone Arkansas 2023 rankings.
