FAYETTEVILLE — One of the state’s top junior football prospects was in Fayetteville this past weekend and expects to be back a lot.
Ozark tight end/defensive end Bryant Burns (6-3, 215), who had 748 yards receiving and 11 touchdowns while also netting 74 tackles with four sacks as a sophomore, played in the Southwest Elite Classic 7-on-7 Tournament on the Shiloh Christian, Fayetteville and Springdale high school fields.
That included going up against some of the state’s largest schools as well as Oklahoma powers such as Broken Arrow and Owasso.
“For us it is great playing big schools,” Burns said.
