2025 Quarterbacks & Running Backs Improving Their Profiles

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ahead of the 2023 season, these incoming juniors are upping the ante on their recruiting profiles this off-season. Attending multiple camps, bringing in impressive offers, and taking time to visit schools have been a large part of their schedule since spring has sprung. A highly productive junior season can be a huge momentum shift for these players in the eyes of college colleges. Be sure to circle these players to take note of this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Quarterback | [player_tooltip player_id='232211' first='Brandon' last='Cobb'] | Pulaski Academy</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='232211' first='Brandon' last='Cobb'] is a talented quarterback who has taken on the challenging role of leading Pulaski Academy to another state championship. At 6-4 and 190 pounds, he has the physical attributes and leadership qualities necessary to succeed in this prestigious position. His abilities have already caught the attention of the coaching staff at UNLV, who invited him to an on-campus camp in Las Vegas. While in the pocket, Cobb is patient and accurate, waiting for his receivers to pass through the gaps in coverage before throwing the ball. However, he is also comfortable throwing on the run and isn't afraid to tuck the ball and run. His game-breaking abilities make him a true play-making quarterback who can make a difference for Pulaski Academy this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Quarterback | [player_tooltip player_id='886742' first='Kenyon' last='Carter'] | Marked Tree</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='886742' first='Kenyon' last='Carter'] has a Jalen Hurts type of feel when he plays. He is very shifty as a runner with his read options to the outside of the formation and even pulls the ball down to show off his natural running style. Despite his small stature, standing at 5 foot 9 and weighing 180 pounds, Carter is a nimble player who can show off from both sides of his body. He does a good job of setting his feet on the run and squaring his shoulders from his left side to make quick, accurate throws. Last season, Carter recorded a total of 31 touchdowns, with 21 coming through the air. Not only is he successful on the football field, but he is also a dominant basketball player for the Marked Tree Indians, coming just shy of the state title last year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Running Back | [player_tooltip player_id='865679' first='Cam' last='Settles'] | Little Rock Parkview</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Making his claim for the best overall player in the state, [player_tooltip player_id='865679' first='Cam' last='Settles'] (6-0, 195) is an evident Power 5 talent for the Parkview Patriots who can already boast offers from schools such as SMU and Memphis. He has all the intangibles you look for in an alpha running back; speed, patience, pass protection, catching abilities, vision, and strength. He has been on the move this off-season with recent visits to Oregon, Tennessee, USC, Oregon State, Stanford, Oklahoma, and even a US Army Bowl Combine to boot! He has a mean running style that often comes with disrespectful stiff arms and quick juke moves that leave defenders with a loss of direction when he passes by.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Running Back [player_tooltip player_id='830813' first='Luther' last='Tucker III'] | Little Rock Southwest</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With an offer from Arkansas Baptist, [player_tooltip player_id='830813' first='Luther' last='Tucker III'] has already deemed himself collegiate-ready entering his junior season. Tucker is a very hard runner through contact and does an excellent job getting skinny through holes up the middle that makes him near invisible behind his offensive lineman. He has very quick tweaks and sticks when changing directing that often look misleading when defenders come in for a missed tackle. Tucker is one of those rare breeds of runners who can turn what looks like nothing into a 20-plus yard gain.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
