Omolo has led the Wampus Cats’ offense for the past two seasons, and he has been impressive in doing so. He does an excellent job in moving around in the pocket and extending the play. Omolo’s ability to keep his eyes down the field as he is scrambling is another area that he excels in. The Conway signal caller has the potential to have a strong senior season for the Wampus Cats this upcoming season.
Aaron Smith Aaron Smith 6'6" | 265 lbs | OL Conway | 2023 State AR -Offensive Line-2023
Smith had an incredibly impressive season for the Wampus Cats. The versatile left tackle anchored the offensive line for the Wampus Cats this season. Smith helped opening plenty of rushing lanes for the Conway offense. Meanwhile, he did an excellent job of keeping Omolo’s jersey clean this season. It will be interesting to see where Smith lands on National Signing Day. He has the ability to play on Saturdays and the team that lands him has got a great player that will have no problem improving the offensive line he plays for.
Wade Simpson Wade Simpson 6'0" | 185 lbs | LB Conway | 2023 State AR -Linebacker-2023
Over the past two years, the Wampus Cats’ defense has had plenty of talented prospects.

He did an excellent job of tracking the football and making plays on the ball. Simpson does an impressive job of defeating blocks and making plays in the opposing offensive backfield. The Conway linebacker is a prospect to watch out for on National Signing Day.
What to Expect in 2023:

Signal caller Donovyn Omolo Donovyn Omolo 6'0" | 180 lbs | QB Conway | 2024 State AR will return for his senior season. Omolo has the potential to be put up some strong numbers next season. Look for Omolo to continue to open plenty of eyes during the offseason. Meanwhile on the defensive side of the ball, Qauayaser Whitehead Qauayaser Whitehead 6'3" | 315 lbs | OL Conway | 2024 State AR is a defensive lineman that has the potential to terrorize the opposing offensive backfield.
