The offseason is loaded with performance camps, team camps, and camps hosted by colleges nationwide. Under Armour is sending out invites to the regional camps it puts on throughout the country. We are going to highlight several prospects from the Natural State who received invitations to the Dallas camp.   [player_tooltip player_id='202575' first='Kane' last='Archer']-Quarterback-Greenwood-6'2” 207-Pounds-2026   [player_tooltip player_id='202575' first='Kane' last='Archer'] is the Gatorade Player of the Year in the state of Arkansas for the 2024 season. Archer had an excellent season and led the Greenwood Bulldogs to a state championship. He has an accurate throwing arm and can fit the ball into tight windows. The Greenwood quarterback is able to create big plays out of essentially nothing. He is a player that opposing defenses must try to contain both running as well as throwing the football. Earlier in the week, Archer earned an invitation to the Under Armour camp in Dallas. He is a player to watch out for over the next few months.   [player_tooltip player_id='1316501' first='Kevin' last='Young Jr.']-Running Back-Forrest City-5'11” 205-Pounds-2026   The Forrest City running back is a player who is building tremendous recruiting momentum. [player_tooltip player_id='1316501' first='Kevin' last='Young Jr.'] does an excellent job of allowing his blockers to create rushing lanes before exploding through the hole. He has the ability to carry the ball between the tackles or cut the run down the sideline. Young Jr. excels at making opposing defenders miss tackles. He has earned an invitation from Under Armour to attend the regional camp in Dallas as well.   [player_tooltip player_id='401196' first='Kamauri' last='Austin']-Wide Receiver-Bryant-6'4” 195-Pounds-2026   [player_tooltip player_id='401196' first='Kamauri' last='Austin'] is a matchup nightmare for opposing defensive backs. Austin has the athletic ability to haul in receptions at the highest point. He can turn short gains into explosive plays in the blink of an eye. Austin creates big plays in the passing game and is a wide receiver who must be accounted for by the defense on the field. Austin received an invitation to attend the Under Armour camp in Dallas this week. He is a player to watch out for over the next few months.   [player_tooltip player_id='1195384' first='Jakore' last='Smith']-Linebacker-Little Rock Parkview-6'1” 195-Pounds-2026   [player_tooltip player_id='1195384' first='Jakore' last='Smith'] is a linebacker who exploded onto the scene during the 2024 football season. He sheds blocks quickly and is a linebacker who can live in the opposing offensive backfield. Smith has the speed to get sideline-to-sideline in pursuit of the ball carrier. Meanwhile, he can pressure the opposing quarterback and cause problems for the opposing passing attack. Earlier in the week, Smith was invited to attend the Under Armour Dallas camp. He is a player to watch out for during the 2025 season.   [player_tooltip player_id='364854' first='Cody' last='Taylor']-Offensive Line-Greenwood-6'3” 308-Pounds-2026   Over the past few seasons, [player_tooltip player_id='364854' first='Cody' last='Taylor'] has put his abilities on the offensive line on display. He is a powerhouse for the Bulldogs and has no problem opening up rushing lanes for his backs. Taylor is quick and uses his explosiveness to finish one block and find another defender to block at the second level. Earlier in the week, Taylor earned an invitation to attend the Dallas Under Armour regional camp. He is a major target on the offensive line to watch out for over the next few months.
