WARREN, Ark. – Warren Lumberjack wide receiver Bleyze Fellows has been selected as a finalist for 4A Offensive Player of the Year, according to the official Farm Bureau Insurance press release announcing 58 finalists for the 2025 Farm Bureau Insurance Awards.
Fellows, one of the most explosive playmakers in Arkansas this season, has been central to Warren’s offensive identity. His ability to turn routine catches into long gains, win one-on-one matchups, and deliver in pressure moments placed him firmly on the radar of Hooten’s Arkansas Football, which selects the finalists. His nomination highlights both his individual impact and the strength of the 8-4A’s offensive skill talent.
Joining Fellows among the 4A offensive finalists is Ni’kel Lewis of Hamburg, giving South Arkansas a significant presence in the classification’s most prestigious individual category. The third finalist, Creed Vega of Dardanelle, represents a standout season from the River Valley region.
Strong South Arkansas and 8-4A Representation
The annual Farm Bureau Insurance Awards honor Arkansas’ top offensive player, defensive player, and coach across each classification, along with the statewide Offensive Lineman of the Year. All finalists and their families are invited to the Dec. 15 ceremony in Little Rock.
In addition to Fellows and Lewis, several other names familiar to South Arkansas football fans appear on the finalist lists:
- Fordyce’s Tim Rogers — finalist for 3A Coach of the Year, after guiding the Redbugs through another strong season
- Hamburg’s Ni’kel Lewis — a dynamic 4A offensive finalist who helped power the Lions’ attack
The recognition underscores another strong year for South Arkansas programs that continue to shape playoff races across multiple classifications.
Farm Bureau Praises Arkansas Talent
In the press release, Kevin McKenzie, Executive Vice President–General Manager for Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company of Arkansas, Inc., emphasized the level of excellence represented among the finalists.
“Some of the greatest student-athletes our state has to offer are reflected on this list, and Farm Bureau Insurance is proud to acknowledge their outstanding achievements as the title sponsor of this prestigious event,” McKenzie said.
