<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 2 is here and it is time to identify some offensive players to watch this week. Here are several prospects to keep track on Thursday and Friday of this week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1227660' first='Cain' last='Price']-Quarterback-Stuttgart-6'2” 180-Pounds-2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Stuttgart signal caller is off to a hot start to the season and is looking to keep that momentum rolling this week. Over the past two weeks, he has thrown the football with tremendous accuracy. Meanwhile, he has had no problem pulling the ball down and using his legs to pick up yards on the ground. Price and the Ricebirds take on White Hall this week and he is a player to watch out for on Friday night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1152120' first='Bryce' last='Smith']-Offensive Line-Batesville-6'6” 325-Pounds-2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1152120' first='Bryce' last='Smith'] is off to a great start to the season on the Batesville offensive line. Smith uses great hand placement to drive opposing defenders backward. He is a powerful blocker who can open up rushing lanes or protect the quarterback. The Batesville Pioneers take on Beebe this week and Smith is an offensive lineman to keep an eye on as the season starts to heat up and conference play approaches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='594778' first='Slade' last='Norwood']-Quarterback-Farmington-6'2” 190-Pounds-2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='594778' first='Slade' last='Norwood'] looked sharp throughout the contest against Rogers Heritage last week. Norwood consistently puts the football into tight coverage with impressive accuracy. He has the arm strength to stretch the field with a deep throw downfield. Meanwhile, he has the ability to use his legs to extend the play and pick up yards on the ground. Norwood and the Cardinals take on Prairie Grove this week in the annual Battle of Highway 62 in Northwest Arkansas.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1797519' first='Christain' last='Reeves']-Running Back-North Little Rock-6'2” 195-Pounds-2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The North Little Rock running back is a player who gets more productive the more he carries he earns throughout a contest. Reeves is a patient running back who does a great job of allowing the rushing lanes to develop. He is a running back with the speed to get into the second level. Reeves is a prospect to keep an eye on over the next few weeks. North Little Rock takes on Springdale this week in what has the potential to be a great game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1858209' first='Easton' last='Barksdale']-Quarterback-Sheridan-6'1” 210-Pounds-2028</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1858209' first='Easton' last='Barksdale'] has exploded this season to start the year. Barksdale is another quarterback who is throwing the football with tremendous accuracy. He has the mobility to escape the pocket and pick up yards on the ground. Barksdale does a great job of keeping his eyes down the field. He does not lock in on just one receiver and will spread the ball around. Sheridan takes on Little Rock Southwest this week and he has the potential for another strong performance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
