With his arm, Allen provides great accuracy and composure to stay in under pressure and deliver big-time throws down the field. As Allen gets into the open field with his legs he has elite vision and agility to break plays for huge gains. He continues to garner interest from Power 5 schools, with a huge 2023 season he can find himself in good standing with multiple top name programs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Running Back</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='149576' first='Tre' last='Hopkins'] | Nashville</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>"[player_tooltip player_id='149576' first='Tre' last='Hopkins']<a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/tre-hopkins/"></a> is a running back that does an excellent job of allowing rushing lanes to develop. Hopkins has terrific speed and good vision. The Nashville coaching staff does a great job of lining Hopkins up all over the field. He is another prospect that is starting to build recruiting momentum and is going to be a player to watch out for this upcoming season. Hopkins earned a scholarship off recently from Arkansas-Pine Bluff. He is a running back that has the potential to put up some big numbers next season." <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/02/2024-prospects-building-recruiting-momentum/">2024 Prospects Building Recruiting Momentum</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='898103' first='Reagan' last='Womack']</strong> | <strong>Pocahontas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Currently committed to Ouachita Baptist, [player_tooltip player_id='898103' first='Reagan' last='Womack'] is a force with the ball at the running back position. Womack is a bruiser back of sorts that require at least 2 defenders to successfully get him to the ground. For as strong he is, Womack also obtains some elusiveness and agility when creating yardage on his own.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wide Receiver</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='221313' first='AJ' last='Jordan'] | McGehee</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='149581' first='Dyelon' last='Caradine'] | Malvern</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>"[player_tooltip player_id='149581' first='Dyelon' last='Caradine']<a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/dyelon-caradine/"></a> gives the Malvern Leopards a weapon that can carve you up via the air attack. Caradine runs extremely crisp routes and will create separation using his route running ability.  He does a great job of hauling in receptions and puts hits good hands on display regularly. Caradine racked up over 1,000 receiving yards last season and I look for another solid season from Caradine this season." <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/05/2024-wide-receivers-ready-to-explode-this-season/">2024 Wide Receivers Ready to Explode this Season</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='150134' first='Denham' last='Gooden'] | Lonoke</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>"The wide receiver position has an impressive list of prospects for the position this season. [player_tooltip player_id='150134' first='Denham' last='Gooden']<a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/denham-gooden/"></a> Jr. has great speed and uses it well to create separation from opposing defensive backs. He mixes smooth route running with the ability to kick it into second gear. Gooden Jr. had the opportunity to spend the weekend in Pine Bluff. He was able to visit the Arkansas-Pine Bluff campus and catch the spring game. The Lonoke wide receiver is a player to watch out for this upcoming season." <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/04/recruiting-news-and-notes-4-22-23/">Recruiting News and Notes 4-22-23</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Offensive Line</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='690378' first='Terence' last='Roberson'] | Warren</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Going into this senior season with the Warren Lumberjacks, [player_tooltip player_id='690378' first='Terence' last='Roberson'] has acquired numerous offers from multiple schools including UA-Monticello, UAPB, and SEMO, not to mention the multiple impressive camp performances he had over the summer months. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>"[player_tooltip player_id='690378' first='Terence' last='Roberson']<a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/terence-roberson/"></a> (6-4, 292) is making headlines after a remarkable performance at the University of Arkansas camp in Fayetteville. He's already a well-known name in the world of recruiting and has received scholarship offers from Southeastern Missouri State (SEMO), UA-Monticello, and UAPB. Roberson always seems to be the first off the line, giving him a clear advantage over his opponents. Look for Roberson to continue to trend upward and draw greater amounts of interests following his successful summer camp season and expect a productive 2023 season this fall." <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/07/2024-offensive-lineman-garnering-collegiate-interests/">2024 Offensive Lineman Garnering Collegiate Interests</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Charlie Vandenburg | Ozark</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Carter Couch | Pocahontas </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Defensive Line</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='212207' first='Carson' last='Riggins'] | Dewitt</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>"DeWiit High School always does an impressive job of producing talented prospects. [player_tooltip player_id='212207' first='Carson' last='Riggins']<a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/carson-riggins/"></a> is a versatile prospect that can rotate between the edge rush and linebacker positions. Riggins has an impressive combination of speed and strength that does a great job of defeating blocks and getting into the offensive backfield.

He uses his speed and agility well to come off of blocks. Harris is a defensive prospect that always seems to be around the ball carrier. He is not a player that will miss tackles. The Scrappers always have talented prospects on the defensive side of the ball and Harris fits that description perfectly.

In the process, Williams was able to open some eyes with his impressive speed. A facet of his game to keep an eye on is his smooth route running.
