24 Aug 2025 501 Football Team 2025: Landon Stover – Conway Christian

In one of the most dominant runs the 501 has ever seen, Conway Christian capped an undefeated season with its first football state championship in school history last fall. As the team to beat in 2025, the Eagles are determined to defend their roost at the top.

Four-year starting lineman Landon Stover returns this fall, looking not just to repeat history but also to ensure that Conway Christian remains competitive for years to come.

“This season, I’m passing on the leadership that I have been taught by the seniors who graduated before me,” he said. “While replacing the seniors from last year’s team won’t be easy, we believe that we can replicate our success by showing up and working as hard as we can every day.”

With underclassmen expected to fill big shoes at key skill positions, Stover’s experience will be leaned upon heavily to bridge gaps.

“Landon is a physical and relentless blocker who is extremely well-respected on and off the field,” Head Coach Justin Kramer said. “As the leader on our offensive and defensive lines, we’re counting on him to be the reliable player he has always been.”

As he prepares to close his chapter at Conway Christian, Stover will stay close to home after high school, attending the University of Central Arkansas to major in exercise science.

“I want to be remembered as a leader who has faced many adversities but was able to fight through them to become better than before,” he said.
