<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1517922' first='Quintin' last='Roy'] is currently the number one tight end in Arkansas, with rising talent behind him. He holds offers from Arkansas State, App State, Cincinnati, and more. He showcases good hand-eye coordination and body control. He has strong hands. This allows him to adjust mid-route, high-point the football, or make catches in contested situations. Roy is poised to be a significant threat on third downs and in the red zone at the next level. His ability to exploit zone coverage and identify soft spots, combined with solid route running, is impressive. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1636059' first='Dawson' last='McFadin'] is an Arkansas State commit. He's highly versatile and athletic at all levels. McFadin attacks zone coverage efficiently with solid mental processing. He can be difficult to bring down post-catch due to his solid foot speed, burst, and contact balance. He is a willing blocker in space. He uses good hand placement to control defenders. His active feet help displace them. He'll be playing on Saturday's. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='557681' first='Hayden' last='Sublette'] can dominate all phases at the tight end spot, receiving and run blocking. He can seal the edge or reach the linebackers at the second level. Sublette excels in the short and intermediate areas of the field. His solid foot quickness, strong hands, and radius help him win contested catches. His size, power, and physicality create mismatches in coverage, making him an easy target for the quarterback. Add him to your recruiting board. </p>
