<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>To close out the 2022 football season in the state of Arkansas. The staff at Prep Redzone Arkansas has added plenty of new names that are debuting on he 2023 Prep Redzone Arkansas rankings. For this edition, of the rankings, we had plenty of new names to add to the roster. The talent in high school football in the state of Arkansas continues to be on the rise and we have a number of talented players to introduce you to in this column.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='456764' first='Evan' last='Williams']-Linebacker-Greenwood-6'2” 215-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Greenwood linebacker was one of the most impressive prospects in the state of Arkansas during the 2022 football season. Williams has excellent instincts and does an impressive job of defeating blocks to get into the opposing backfield. He amassed over 160 tackles during the season and helped lead the Bulldogs to a state championship game appearance. Williams is a prospect with the talent and the potential to play on Saturdays in the future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='465861' first='Jordon' last='Harris']-Tight End-Pine Bluff-6'6” 230-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It should come as no surprise to hear that the Pine Bluff Zebras have another talented prospect at the tight end position. The Zebras did a great job of lining Harris up all over the field and he was extremely effective on both sides of the ball. Harris is one of those tight ends that is not just a pass-catching threat. He can help clear rushing lanes and block for his teammates. Harris has attracted plenty of attention from college scouts and I look for him to be a prospect that plays on Saturdays in the future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='471070' first='Heath' last='Griffin']-Running Back-Harding Academy-6'1” 205-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harding Academy running back [player_tooltip player_id='471070' first='Heath' last='Griffin'] is another running back that has had an excellent high school football career. He is a prospect that does a great job of being able to run the ball between the tackles. An area that gets overlooked in his game is his ability to catch the ball out of the backfield. Griffin is one of those running backs that can hurt you in multiple areas of the game. He has won numerous state championships for Harding Academy and is a prospect that has the potential to play on Saturdays in the future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='315838' first='Erik' last='Barrientos']-Offensive Line-Fort Smith Northside-6'3” 260-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Over the past two decades, the Northside Grizzlies have had no trouble when it comes to producing talented offensive linemen. Barrientos is a versatile prospect that can play all along the offensive line. He has the frame to add more weight and become an impressive offensive lineman at the next level. Barrientos has quick feet and does a great job of getting out of the stance and into the opposing defensive lineman. Barrientos is a prospect to watch out for on National Signing Day.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
