Let’s take a look at some prospects that are moving up the 2025 rankings.
Quentin Murphy Quentin Murphy 6'1" | 190 lbs | QB Little Rock Parkview | 2025 State AR -Quarterback-Joe T. Robinson-6’1” 190-Pounds
During the course of the 2022 season, Quentin Murphy Quentin Murphy 6'1" | 190 lbs | QB Little Rock Parkview | 2025 State AR has opened plenty of eyes with his impressive play. Murphy has a strong arm, which he has put on display this season. The Joe T. Robinson signal caller does a great job of throwing his receivers open.

Grant Karnes Grant Karnes 6'0" | 175 lbs | WR Greenwood | 2025 State AR is a wide receiver that exploded on to the scene in 2022. The Greenwood wide receiver can be lined up in the slot or split out wide with equal effectiveness. Karnes has the speed to stretch the field deep and always seems to be in position to catch the football for his quarterback. He does a great job of working his way back to his quarterback. The Bulldogs are an extremely talented team going into the 2023 season and I look for Karnes to have another big season in 2023.
Owen Miller Owen Miller 6'1" | 160 lbs | QB Harding Academy | 2025 State AR -Quarterback-Harding Academy-6’1” 170-Pounds

Wimberly is one of the most intriguing prospects in the class of 2025. He has played all over the field for the Miners over the past few years. Wimberly has manned the safety, cornerback, quarterback, and wide receiver positions over the past year. On the offensive side of the ball, Wimberly can make plays with his legs and his arm. Meanwhile, on the defensive side of the ball he has shown the ability to pick off passes and take them the other direction. I expect a big 2023 season from Wimberly, he is a prospect to watch out for.

Hayes is a prospect that has the speed to cause problems for opposing wide receivers. Hayes is physical enough with opposing wide receivers to bump them off routes. He has no problems making tackles. Hayes has the potential do big things in the Robinson secondary over the next couple of years.

Fort Smith Northside never fails to produce several talented prospects every season. Camron Massey Camron Massey 6'0" | 180 lbs | WR Northside | 2025 State AR is a wide receiver to watch out for with the Grizzlies.
