Last week, plenty of talent was on display, high-scoring games were played, and more. Our weekly scouting reports will continue to include detailed analyses of key players to monitor for the week in question, potential risers, or promising prospects who may not have garnered significant attention thus far and should watch as the season grows. Here are seven prospects to watch:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1229846"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6702ecda6173c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1229846' first='Brandon' last='Vaughan'] has been flying under the radar this season, even though he's been dominating at all levels of the field. Last week, he racked up 7 receptions for 147 yards (21 YPC) and 3 touchdowns, along with a pick-six. Vaughan displays a solid release due to solid acceleration and foot quickness to eat up space quickly. He's a smooth route runner who can hurt you over the top or settle down underneath and create post-catch. Solid hand-eye coordination, body control, and strong hands to adjust mid-route. Vaughan and Greenland prepare for Booneville at home this Friday Night. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Note - Multi Sport Athlete</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>X: <a href="https://x.com/VBrando8/status/1835112753931207172">https://x.com/VBrando8/status/1835112753931207172</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1316501"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6702ecda617ab"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1316501' first='Kevin' last='Young Jr.'] has been rising up our list due to his early-season dominance.

Young Jr. showcases good contact balance with impressive leg drive to withstand contact and break tackles for additional yardage. Young Jr. and Forrest City look to pull off the upset against undefeated Little Rock Mills on the road. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Note – 2.9 GPA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>X: <a href="https://x.com/KevinYoung2007/status/1832562159512928722">https://x.com/KevinYoung2007/status/1832562159512928722</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1353087"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6702ecda617fe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1353087' first='Trevon' last='Stewart'] has been locking down opposing wide receivers with 7 PBUs and 1 INT through five games.
