Never Before Covered-2026 April Update

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Over the past few weeks, the staff at Prep Redzone Arkansas has examined the recruiting classes. We found numerous prospects that have been added to the list and we have yet to examine. Today we are going to explore the class of 2026 and look at a few prospects that have been added to the prospect list. It would be a wise idea to take note of the prospects that we discuss in this article.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='349874' first='Jaxson' last='Lee']-Offensive Line-Bentonville West-5'11” 300-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lee is a powerful offensive lineman that shows good explosiveness getting out of the stance. Has the speed and versatility to play all over the offensive line for the Wolverines. Lee is a prospect that is putting in the work for the upcoming season and it is showing in the weight room and on the field. Bentonville West has done a tremendous job of producing talented offensive linemen over the past few years and I look for [player_tooltip player_id='349874' first='Jaxson' last='Lee'] to continue that trend over the next three or four seasons. He is a prospect to keep an eye out for.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='731531' first='Kendall' last='Burton']-Wide Receiver-Pine Bluff-5'10” 130-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Pine Bluff Zebras do an excellent job at producing talented wide receivers. [player_tooltip player_id='731531' first='Kendall' last='Burton'] has the potential to terrorize opposing defensive secondaries for several years. Burton has good speed and mixes it well with smooth route running. He is one of those wide receivers that does a great job of catching the football. Burton will work his way back to his quarterback and make plays on the ball. I look for Burton to be another talented wide receiver from Pine Bluff to keep an eye on over the next few seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='731120' first='Jackson' last='Elam']-Kicker-Batesville-5'9” 110-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The special team's unit is a facet of the team that can greatly impact the outcome of a football game. Batesville has a weapon in the form of [player_tooltip player_id='731120' first='Jackson' last='Elam'] that can shift the field in impressive fashion. [player_tooltip player_id='731120' first='Jackson' last='Elam'] has the leg strength and accuracy to pin opponents deep in bad field position. Meanwhile, on kickoffs, Elam seldom allows kick returns and forces the opponent to start out on the 20-yard line. Elam is a 2026 prospect to watch out for over the next couple of seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='771990' first='Hunter' last='Warren']-Running Back-Booneville-6'0” 180-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Booneville Bearcats are never at a shortage of talented running backs. With the Bearcats depending on the run, they always have a number of talented backs to tote the ball. Warren is a decisive runner, with the power to break tackles. He chooses his rushing lanes well and does an impressive job of allowing rushing lanes to develop. Warren is a running back to watch out for over the next couple of seasons for the Bearcats.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='739072' first='Rylan' last='Mcnamee']-Linebacker-Valley View-6'1” 165-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Valley View has a tradition of producing linebackers that can destroy offensive plays in the opposing offensive backfield. [player_tooltip player_id='739072' first='Rylan' last='Mcnamee'] is the next linebacker coming down the pipeline for Valley View. He does a great job of using his speed to get into the opposing offensive backfield. Mcnamee completely shuts down the opposing rushing attack while causing disruptions in the passing game. Over the next few seasons, look out for Mcnamee at both the linebacker and possibly edge rush positions as he continues to hone his craft. Valley View has another talented linebacker in the form of Mcnamee.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
