It is the week of spring break in the state of Arkansas and many prospects are taking advantage of the time to take visits to colleges recruiting them. In this article, we are going to highlight some of the prospects that have taken or will take visits to Oxford this upcoming weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='153886' first='Charleston' last='Collins']-Defensive Line-Little Rock Mills-2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The defensive line class in the class of 2024 is one of the most impressive that the state of Arkansas has seen in several years. Collins is extremely quick and uses his speed well to disrupt the opposing offensive backfield. He does an excellent of pressuring the quarterback. Meanwhile, he is a defensive lineman that can play the edge or tackle spots and do so with equal effectiveness. Collins had the opportunity earlier in the week to pay a visit to Ole Miss. Collins is a prospect to watch out for this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='149570' first='Courtney' last='Crutchfield']-Wide Receiver-Pine Bluff-2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Pine Bluff wide receiver is one of the most dangerous receiving targets in the state of Arkansas. Crutchfield is a big play just waiting to happen. He has the speed to stretch the opposing defense deep. The mix of smooth route running and speed is enough to create separation from opposing defensive backs. Crutchfield has seen his recruiting explode over the past few weeks and the competition for him is going to be fierce. Keep an eye out for Crutchfield this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='337883' first='Drake' last='Fowler']-Defensive Back-Bryant-2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='337883' first='Drake' last='Fowler'] is a prospect that has flown under the radar. He is a prospect that can play the cornerback or safety positions. His range as a safety sticks out and he does a great job of making plays on the football. Fowler has the ability to pick passes off and take it the other direction. Fowler is a defensive back that does not shy away from contact and will deliver a hit when needed. One college is going to land a great prospect in Fowler. He is a prospect to keep an eye on this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='364821' first='Akyell' last='Madison']-Athlete-Watson Chapel-2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='364821' first='Akyell' last='Madison'] is an extremely versatile prospect for Watson Chapel. He has an excellent speed and can be lined up all over the field. As a signal caller, Madison does a great job of moving around the pocket and making the throw. The versatility to play a number of positions is what appeals to me the most. He can play on the defensive or offensive side of the ball and be used as a weapon on both sides of the football. Watch out for Madison this season upcoming season. He is going to be a prospect that lights up Friday nights this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='352887' first='Derrick' last='Murdock']-Linebacker-Little Rock Mills-2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='352887' first='Derrick' last='Murdock'] is a linebacker that terrorizes opposing quarterbacks. He led the state of Arkansas in sacks last season and is looking to repeat the feat this season. Murdock has great speed and he uses it well to get into the opposing offensive backfield. He is a linebacker that can disrupt both the run and passing attacks of the opponent. Murdock is another playmaker that the Mills' defense will have back this season. I expect a big season from the talented linebacker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='304269' first='TJ' last='Lindsey']-Defensive Line-Bryant-2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Bryant defensive lineman is one of the most athletic prospects in the state of Arkansas. Lindsey has the speed and strength to destroy an offensive gameplan easily. He is a defensive lineman that can drop back into pass coverage as well as rush the passer. Lindsey and Collins are two defensive linemen that the Ole Miss staff is taking a long look at this week. Lindsey's versatility along the defensive front is going to make the recruiting competition for him fierce this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
