SPRINGDALE — One of the most impressive prospects at this weekend’s Southwest Elite 7-on-7 Showcase was Bentonville junior wide receiver Kam’ron Mays-Hunt.
Mays-Hunt (6-2, 170) was named both the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette’s Sophomore of the Year and the Class 7A-West Newcomer of the Year after catching 53 passes for 556 yards and seven touchdowns.
“Our coaches have told me that Arkansas, Auburn and Arkansas State are showing interest in me,” Mays-Hunt said. “I really like Arkansas’ receivers coach (Michael Smith). He is really good. I like him a lot and he is really funny.”
Bentonville’s streaks of eight straight 7A-West conference titles and five straight state title games appearances ended last season and the talent pool also split in half as Bentonville West begins playing football this season.
