Manor, Texas defensively Princely Umanmielen (6-4, 248) is a 2020 kid that has caught the coaches’ eyes. He has offers already from Tulsa and UTEP. He ran a 4.61 in the 40.

2020 O-lineman Omari Thomas looks really, really good. He's getting a lot of attention from the staff. He was at midfield talking with Chad Morris a few minutes ago.
2020 TE Blayne Toll of Hazen and 2021 TE Erin Outley of LR Parkview are looking good in 1-on-1's. They're catching most the passes thrown to them. Some of the misses were bad throws by the QBs.
2020 LB Bryant Burns of Ozark had 2 interceptions during 1-on-1's.
All three would be some of my contenders for camp MVP.
8:54 update
DE Kendall Young of Bentonville West had an outstanding camp and really helped his stock. Big showing by Kendall.
10:07 update
2020 offensive lineman Garrett Hayes, 6-4, 280 of Athen, Texas showed the ability to be a dominating run blocker and will be a guy Arkansas takes a hard look at going forward.
2019 athlete Ryan Johnson, 6-6, 205 of Prescott is an intriguing prospect that worked out at safety and linebacker. He reports an offer from Purdue as a linebacker and interest from Kentucky, Louisiana Tech and Memphis.
He played safety as a junior and will play quarterback as a senior. Arkansas plans to watch him this season.
