Sooner State Shootout Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With a total of 94 teams taking part in the Sooner Shootout, one does not have to look too hard to find talented players spread across each field. We will continue our look at prospects who stood out over the weekend at the Sooner Shootout.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jordan Mcfarlin-Defensive Back-Sooner 7-2030</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jordan Mcfarlin is another versatile prospect on the Sooner 7 team who can have an impact on both sides of the ball. Over the weekend, Mcfarlin displayed the ability to read the opposing quarterback and in the process make a play on the football. On the offensive side of the ball, he is a player who knows how to get open with impressive consistency. Meanwhile, on the defensive side of the ball, he is a defender who gets to the ball and picks off passes with ease.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1137824' first='Kingston' last='Burnett']-Quarterback-Little Rock Mills-5'11” 140-Pounds-2028</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Little Rock Mills signal caller had an impressive weekend in Oklahoma at the Sooner State Shootout. He did an effective job of unleashing the deep ball and fitting the ball into tight coverages. Burnett is able to fit the ball into tight coverage and had an impressive couple of days in the tournament. He is a player to watch out for over the next few seasons for Mills.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1401811' first='Daveon' last='Connors']-Defensive Back-Dimaond Boyz-Pine Bluff-2028</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Connors is a defensive back with a bright future lurking in the secondary. He did a great job of reading the opposing quarterback's eyes. Connors makes plays on the ball and had no problem disrupting the passing game over the weekend. He allowed no receptions to be completed on him throughout the tournament. Connors is setting the stage for a big offseason and he has the potential for a strong 2025 football season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1594139' first='Brady' last='Richards']-Wide Receiver-GC7-Farmington-2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Over the past few seasons, the Farmington Cardinals have proven that they have a talented wide receiving corps. Richards does a great job of using his route running to create separation from opposing defensive backs. He has the speed to stretch the field on the deep routes. Richards had an impressive weekend in Broken Arrow. The Farmington wide receiver is a prospect to watch out for this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='401201' first='Kyrick' last='Fulks']-Wide Receiver-Diamond Boyz-Little Rock Parkview-2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fulks is a player who has the athletic ability to see playing time on both sides of the ball for the Patriots. Fulks had an impressive weekend in Oklahoma at the Sooner Shootout. He does a great job of high pointing the football. Fulks was difficult to cover over the weekend and he made plays on both sides of the ball. I expect a strong 2025 season from Fulks as the spring football season approaches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
