Several names may already be familiar to you. However, we do have some new names making an appearance in this article as well. Let’s finish off the work week with a look at some talented prospects in the Natural State.
Anthony Kennedy Jr-Linebacker-Little Rock Southwest-2026
The talent in the 2026 class is shaping up to be one of the most talented the state of Arkansas has seen in quite some time. He defeats block well using his speed and power. Kennedy Jr. has terrific speed, and he will be causing plenty of opposing offensive linemen sleepless nights over the next few seasons. With a scholarship offer from the University of Missouri to his credit already. I look for him to have an extremely productive 2023 football season. He is a prospect on the rise.
Kaleb Johnson Kaleb Johnson 5'7" | 165 lbs | RB Fayetteville | 2026 State AR -Running Back-Fayetteville-2026
The Fayetteville Bulldogs are always a team that produces plenty of talented prospects. Over the next few years, the future looks to continue to be bright for the Bulldogs. Kaleb Johnson Kaleb Johnson 5'7" | 165 lbs | RB Fayetteville | 2026 State AR opened plenty of eyes in the spring game earlier this week. He did a great job of identifying the rushing lane and exploding through the hole. Johnson had a 68-yard touchdown run during the spring game. I look for Johnson to continuing to open eyes over the next few seasons. Johnson has the potential to do big things on Friday nights in the future.
Talan Williams Talan Williams 5'9" | 165 lbs | QB Gentry | 2026 State AR -Quarterback-Shiloh Christian-2026
Over the years, the Shiloh Christian Saints have done an impressive job of producing talented players at the quarterback position. In the spring game earlier in the week, Williams had the opportunity to showcase his accurate arm. He fit the ball into some tight windows and threw some wide receivers in the process. Williams was 10-of-13 for 212 yards and two touchdowns in the Shiloh Christian spring game. Williams has had a strong spring and he is a prospect to watch out for over the next couple of seasons.
Kyndrick Williams Kyndrick Williams 6'1" | 180 lbs | WR Bentonville | 2026 State AR -Defensive Back-Bentonville-2026
The Bentonville Tigers are never at a shortage of talented players. Kyndrick Williams Kyndrick Williams 6'1" | 180 lbs | WR Bentonville | 2026 State AR was making plays in the secondary for the Tigers earlier this week. Williams had a pick six in the spring game earlier in the week. He reads the quarterback well and does a great job of playing the ball while it is in the air. Williams has the potential to cause plenty of problems for opposing quarterbacks over the next few seasons. Watch out for Williams, he is a talented defensive back that has a high ceiling.
Braxton Lindsey-Athlete-Rogers-2026
Braxton Lindsey is a prospect that continues to raise his game every time I see him play. Lindsey makes plays on both sides of the ball and can impact a game on either side of the ball. On the offensive side of the ball, he works as a wide receiver that uses his athleticism to high point the football. In the spring game, Lindsey had three touchdown receptions. Meanwhile, on the defensive side of the ball he had one sack, one pass break up, and one tackle for loss. Lindsey has the potential to light up Friday nights over the next few seasons.
