As always, it has been another busy week in the Natural State with spring football and scholarship offers making the news. However, camp invites are always something to keep an eye on this time of year as well. No need to wait any longer, let’s check what is making news this week.
Malachi Henry Malachi Henry 6'1" | 175 lbs | WR Van Buren | 2023 State AR -Wide Receiver-Van Buren-2023
The Van Buren wide receiver had a strong 2021 season, and he has continued that momentum into the offseason. Henry has excellent hands and the speed needed to create separation from opposing defensive backs. Earlier in the week Henry earned a scholarship offer from Murray State University. I expect Henry to continue the build off of the work he has put in thus far and have a strong 2022 football season. Van Buren has the talent to open some eyes this season and make a playoff run.
Hunter Houston Hunter Houston 6'2" | 205 lbs | QB Greenwood | 2023 State AR -Quarterback-Greenwood-2023
The Greenwood Bulldogs have the potential to be one of the most talented teams in the state this season. Hunter Houston Hunter Houston 6'2" | 205 lbs | QB Greenwood | 2023 State AR has displayed a strong arm. He has the ability to fit the ball into some tight windows. On Tuesday, Houston earned a scholarship offer to Southwest Baptist University. After having a strong 2021 season, Houston has the potential to continue playing at a high level for the Bulldogs.
Joe Trusty Joe Trusty 6'3" | 215 lbs | QB Alma | 2023 State AR -Quarterback-Alma-2023
The 2023 class of quarterbacks in the state of Arkansas is one that has flown under the radar. Recently, Trusty had the opportunity to put on a show at the Rivals Camp. The Alma Airedales has a quarterback that can fire the ball into a wide receiver. However, Trusty has the talent to take some heat off the pass and throw the fade routes. He had a strong 2021 campaign, and he is one prospect that is expected to have a strong 2022 football season. Trusty is one of my sleepers going into this season.
Kane Archer Kane Archer 6'1" | 205 lbs | QB Greenwood Bulldogs | 2026 State AR -Quarterback-Greenwood-2026
Over the years, Greenwood has become a quarterback factory. The Bulldogs have two quarterbacks that have scholarship offers on the roster. Archer has shown an ability to make difficult throws look easy. He can fit the ball into some tight windows. The talent he has earned him several more scholarship offers over the past few days. Louisville and Ole Miss has each extended a scholarship offer to the Greenwood signal caller. The potential is very high for this young quarterback.
Greyson Jerry Greyson Jerry 5'11" | 180 lbs | LB Fayetteville | 2026 State AR -Athlete-Fayetteville-2026
One prospect to keep an eye on over the next few months is Greyson Jerry Greyson Jerry 5'11" | 180 lbs | LB Fayetteville | 2026 State AR out of Fayetteville. He has the speed and the hands needed to play the linebacker or running back positions. Over the years, Fayetteville has produced a number of quality linebackers and Jerry is no different. The ceiling is extremely high for Jerry. He is a prospect that received an invitation to compete in the Football University Top Gun event this summer in Florida.
