Over the next fer weeks, many of the high school football prospects in the state of Arkansas will be attending college football camps. We are going to look at some prospects to keep an eye on going into camps this weekend.
Carter McElhany Carter McElhany 5'7" | 155 lbs | WR Greenbrier | 2023 State AR -Wide Receiver-Greenbrier-2023
Carter McElhany Carter McElhany 5'7" | 155 lbs | WR Greenbrier | 2023 State AR has started the camp season off in strong fashion. McElhany ran a blazing 4.35 forty-yard dash at the Memphis camp earlier in the week. The Greenbrier wide receiver is looking continue to display his skills at the Dallas camp hosted by SMU and TCU this weekend. McElhany has opened some eyes this offseason and I look for that trend to continue well into the 2022 season. He is one of my sleepers getting ready to claim the spotlight fully. Keep an eye on McElhany this weekend.
Akira Fujibayashi Akira Fujibayashi 5'11" | 220 lbs | OL Greenwood | 2026 State AR -Offensive Line-Greenwood-2026
The state of Arkansas has always produced quality offensive linemen and the next one to watch out for Akira Fujibayashi Akira Fujibayashi 5'11" | 220 lbs | OL Greenwood | 2026 State AR . The Greenwood Bulldogs are going to be loaded with talent over the next few years. Fujibayashi does an impressive job at the center position with a good snap and being extremely quick to get into opposing defensive linemen. Folks can get a good look at Fujibayashi this weekend at the All-Arkansas Camp being hosted by Central Arkansas in Conway.
Donovan Whitten Donovan Whitten 6'3" | 220 lbs | QB Arkadelphia | 2023 State AR -Quarterback-Arkadelphia-2023
It has been a strong week for Arkadelphia quarterback Donovan Whitten Donovan Whitten 6'3" | 220 lbs | QB Arkadelphia | 2023 State AR . Whitten is fresh off an impressive performance at both Ouachita Baptist and Henderson State University. Earlier in the week, Whitten earned a scholarship offer from Ouachita Baptist. Whitten will be attending the Dallas camp this weekend as well. He is a quarterback that is an accurate passer and can be dangerous when scrambling for the opposing defense. Whitten has built some good momentum the past few weeks and I expect a strong performance in Dallas this weekend.
Hunter Marshall Hunter Marshall 5'8" | 245 lbs | OL Farmington | 2024 State AR -Offensive Linemen-Farmington-2024
The Farmington offensive lineman is showing this week that he is not afraid to put in some work. Marshall will be attending the North Texas camp this weekend, as well as the SMU camp. Marshall has terrific speed, and he continues to use it well to keep the opposing defensive linemen off balance. Marshall had an extremely impressive 2021 season and I look for that trend to continue this season. Marshall is another prospect with the potential to have a strong weekend in Dallas.
Chauncey Johnson Chauncey Johnson 6'5" | 300 lbs | OL Lonoke | 2024 State AR -Offensive Linemen-Lonoke-2024
The 2024 offensive line class is shaping up to be an incredibly strong one in the state of Arkansas. Johnson has everything you like to see at the left tackle spot. He plays with a chip on his shoulder and loves to finish his block. Johnson uses his power well and he mixes it with quick feet to terrorize opposing defensive linemen. He is another offensive lineman that folks will want to watch out for this weekend. Johnson will be at the Ouachita Baptist offensive line camp this weekend.
We will cover the performances from all the camps going on during the weekend. The work to get to the 2022 season has fully started. Be sure to check in here on regular basis and the Prep RedZone Arkansas staff will keep you up to date.
