Greyson Riggins Greyson Riggins 6'3" | 190 lbs | ATH DeWitt | 2024 State AR -Athlete-DeWitt-2024
Riggins is one of the most versatile prospects in the class of 2024. He works effectively on both sides of the ball for the Dragons. On the offensive side of the ball, Riggins has worked at the tight end, wide receiver, and quarterback positions. He has the athleticism to create problems for the opposing defensive players attempting to cover him in the passing game. Meanwhile, on the defensive side of the ball he has the speed coming off of the edge to cause plenty of problems for opposing offensive linemen. Riggins had the opportunity to attend prospect day at the University of Arkansas over the weekend. I expect a big 2023 season from Riggins.

Whether he rushes between the tackles or cuts it to the outside. Chairs is an impressive wide receiver out of the backfield and is a prospect to watch out for this upcoming season. Chairs earned a scholarship offer from the University of Central Arkansas a few days ago and this should be the first of numerous offers coming his way.
Dizzy Dean Dizzy Dean QB Elkins | 2024 State AR -Quarterback-Elkins-2024
Dean throws the football with accuracy to all levels of the field. He has a strong arm and can fit the ball into some tight windows. He is dangerous when he gets out of the pocket. Dean is always looking to make the throw first, however, he does not mind using his legs to pick up yards on the ground. Dean earned a scholarship offer from Central Arkansas a few days ago. I expect Dean to open more eyes and earn more scholarship offers over the next few months.
