2026 Prospects on the Rise

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the school year coming to a close quickly. We are starting to focus on 2026 prospects that are on the rise. Spring football has kicked off around the Natural State and we are able to get a preview of what is to come over the next few months. In this article, we are going to shine a spotlight on a few prospects to watch out for this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='212209' first='Jahlon' last='Harris']-Offensive Line-Maumelle-6'6” 325-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='212209' first='Jahlon' last='Harris'] is a powerful prospect on the offensive line. Harris has the size and strength to be a mainstay at the left tackle position over the next few years. The Maumelle offensive lineman displays good quickness getting out of the stance. He looks to finish every block and is always looking for another defensive player to block. Harris will keep opposing defensive linemen off of his quarterback. I expect Harris to take off from a recruiting perspective over the next few months. He has the potential to be a force on the offensive line for several years to come.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='673915' first='Will' last='Davis']-Wide Receiver-Bentonville West-6'1” 150-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Over the past few months, [player_tooltip player_id='673915' first='Will' last='Davis'] has put his receiving ability on display in numerous 7-on-7 tournaments. Davis is a smooth route runner with the speed to stretch the opposing defense deep. He does a good job of creating separation using the mix of his route running and speed. The Bentonville West wide receiver has the potential to light up Friday nights over the next few seasons. I look for Davis to continue you to open plenty of eyes over the next few months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='552783' first='Kingston' last='Jackson']-Offensive Line-Conway-6'5” 290-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Conway offensive line always seems to have talented players all over the roster. [player_tooltip player_id='552783' first='Kingston' last='Jackson'] is another talented offensive lineman to watch out for coming out of Conway. Jackson has impressive power and good quickness. He is a versatile offensive lineman that has the potential to move all over the offensive front if needed. I look for him to open some eyes over the next few seasons. He has the potential to do some big things over the next couple of seasons for the Wampus Cats.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='701205' first='Kaleb' last='Roach']-Running Back-Magnolia-5'10” 160-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Magnolia has a history of producing quality running backs. [player_tooltip player_id='701205' first='Kaleb' last='Roach'] is another back to watch out for coming down the pipeline from Magnolia. Roach is a versatile athlete that sees him play the running back on the football and the point guard spot on the basketball court. Roach has impressive speed, with the ability to kick it into second gear when he gets into the open field. Roach is a running back that has the potential to cause opposing defenses plenty of problems over the next few years. Look for another strong rushing attack from Magnolia this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='630510' first='Malachi' last='Hamilton']-Running Back-Arkadelphia-5'9” 190-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hamilton is an extremely patient running back when it comes to picking out his rushing lanes. He is a running back that has the speed to cut his run to the outside. However, he has shown that he is not afraid to carry it between the tackles. Hamilton does an impressive job of catching the ball out of the backfield. He has the talent to be split out wide and cause opposing defenses plenty of problems in the passing game. Hamilton is another Arkadelphia product to keep an eye on over the next couple of seasons. The Badgers are always a loaded football team and the next few seasons are not going to disappoint in the talent produced there.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
