<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Each month, as we approach the upcoming football season, Prep Redzone Arkansas is going to look at prospects that are flying under the radar. The 2024 class in the state of Arkansas is an extremely talented group. In today's article we are going to shine a spotlight on some players that have been flying a bit under the radar. The prospects on this list are players you should watch out for this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='636277' first='Oquoieah' last='Earl']-Wide Receiver-Beebe-6'3” 180-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='636277' first='Oquoieah' last='Earl'] is a wide receiver that continues to open plenty of eyes across the state. Earl is a big play threat at the receiver position. He has the ability to take it the distance from anywhere on the field. Earl does a great job of getting himself open for his quarterback. He has started to attract the attention of plenty of scouts over the past few weeks. I expect Earl to have a strong 2023 season and the school that lands him will get a guy that can stretch the field immediately.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='314061' first='Brenden' last='Bennett']-Defensive Back-Bryant-6'0” 170-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Bryant Hornets do not have any trouble producing talented defensive backs to put in the secondary. [player_tooltip player_id='314061' first='Brenden' last='Bennett'] does a great job of separating the ball from the ball carrier. He does an impressive job of playing the ball in the air. Bennett has the ability to take a pass the opposite direction. Bennett has the potential to open plenty of eyes this upcoming season. I expect the talented defensive back to rack up scholarship offers over the next few months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='187634' first='Peyton' last='McNeely']-Athlete-Benton-6'2” 225-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The versatility that [player_tooltip player_id='187634' first='Peyton' last='McNeely'] has is extremely impressive. McNeely does an excellent job of getting into the offensive backfield. He comes off the edge quickly and disrupts the opposing running game as well as the passing attack. McNeely has a high motor and pursues the ball well. The Benton prospect makes it difficult on the opposing offensive line to account for him. I expect a big season from McNeely this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='731042' first='Jackson' last='Lister']-Defensive Line-Rogers-6'4” 225-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Rogers Mounties are a team with the potential to make plenty of noise this upcoming season in the 7-A West. [player_tooltip player_id='731042' first='Jackson' last='Lister'] has the versatility to play all over the defensive line for the Mounties. He uses impressive speed and power combination to defeat blocks and shut down the opponent's rushing attack. Meanwhile, he is extremely impressive putting pressure on the opposing quarterbacks. Lister is a prospect to watch out for this upcoming season for the Mounties.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='716302' first='Aqeelo' last='Allen']-Offensive Line-Marion-6'3” 310-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='716302' first='Aqeelo' last='Allen'] is an offensive lineman that has the mix of power and speed that causes plenty of problems for opposing defensive linemen. Allen is quick and shows good pass blocking ability. Meanwhile, he has no trouble in clearing a rushing lane for his teammates. He has the quickness to pull and plays with a chip on his shoulder. I expect a big senior season from the talented Marion offensive lineman in 2023.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
