The roster of prospects attending the event is one of the most impressive lists that we have seen over the past few years. Be sure to check back here over the weekend as Colton Edwards and I highlight prospects to pay attention to this upcoming season.
Terriun Jones Terriun Jones 5'11" | 145 lbs | DB Bryant | 2027 State AR -Defensive Back-Bryant-2027
The Bryant Hornets always have talented players in the defensive secondary. With prospects like Terriun Jones Terriun Jones 5'11" | 145 lbs | DB Bryant | 2027 State AR coming up through the ranks the future looks bright for the Hornets. He is an extremely athletic player that has the versatility to see playing time on both sides of the ball for Bryant. Jones plays the ball well in the air and has the hands to pick off the pass and take it the opposite direction. He is a player that I am excited to see this weekend in Little Rock.
Dabin Gaines Dabin Gaines 5'8" | 165 lbs | QB Greenwood | 2028 AR -Quarterback-Greenwood-2027
I had the opportunity to watch Dabin Gaines Dabin Gaines 5'8" | 165 lbs | QB Greenwood | 2028 AR in Broken Arrow earlier in the year. I came away impressed with his accuracy and ability to read the field. Gaines is able to fit the ball into some tight windows. He has the arm strength to test the opposing secondary deep. Meanwhile, he is athletic enough to extend the play and keep his eyes down the field. Gaines is another Greenwood quarterback to watch out for over the next couple of seasons.
Anthony Kennedy Anthony Kennedy 6'6" | 275 lbs | DL Maumelle | 2026 State AR -Defensive Line-Maumelle-2026
The Maumelle defensive lineman is exploding from a recruiting perspective. Kennedy fires out of the stance quickly. He gets off of blocks and into the offensive backfield in the blink of an eye. Kennedy has the ability to play any of the positions along the defensive front. He does not quit on a play and pursues the ball carrier well. The pressure he puts on the quarterback is impressive. I look forward to seeing him put in some work this weekend at Little Rock Mills. He is a player to watch out for over the next two seasons.
Parker Nix Parker Nix 6'2" | 180 lbs | QB Rogers | 2026 State AR -Quarterback-Rogers-2026
Over the past couple of seasons, the Rogers Mounties have always had talented signal callers and this season does not appear to be any different. Parker Nix Parker Nix 6'2" | 180 lbs | QB Rogers | 2026 State AR is a quarterback prospect to watch out for over the next few seasons. He has impressive arm strength and is not afraid to test opposing secondaries with the deep throw. Nix has good accuracy and can hit receivers in-stride. He is another signal caller I look forward to watching in Little Rock over the weekend.
Alex Thornton-Linebacker-Sylvan Hills-2026
Sylvan Hills is a team on the rise. The talent on the defensive side of the ball is impressive. Alex Thornton is a prospect at the linebacker position to watch out for over the next few seasons. He has the speed to go sideline to sideline. Thornton has impressive range and the speed to haul down the ball carrier. He is the type of linebacker that does not give up on the play. Thornton is a player to watch out for this upcoming Saturday.
