Eudora (Kan.) four-star tight end Jaden Hamm has committed to the Arkansas Razorbacks. Hamm, 6-6, 225, went public with his decision late Saturday evening to become the Hogs' second verbal commitment for the Class of 2023.

After the Razorbacks landed four-star tight end Shamar Easter of Ashdown (Ark.) on Friday, Hamm decided there was no reason to wait any longer.

"It was one of those things where I went on the visit and we had a click," Hamm said. "I was really into it, I was feeling it. Obviously talking to Coach Loggains and Coach Pittman weekly, I built a relationship with them that I hadn't built with any other school. The things that they had to offer and the relationship we already had, it was kind of -- they brought it up to me -- and I was like, do I really need anywhere else? This place felt like home. So, I was just thinking the time is now if I'm going to do it.

"I called Coach Loggains at about 5:15 p.m. and let him know. That, and Coach Pittman did a FaceTime immediately. They were both excited and hyped."

Hamm, who visited Fayetteville in June, chose the Hogs over Michigan, Penn State, Oklahoma State, Missouri, Nebraska, TCU, Tennessee, Kansas State, Iowa State and many others.

Hamm said he's excited to join up with Easter on the Hill.

"It's going to be an amazing 12 personnel offense is all I've got to say," Hamm said.

According to the 247Sports Composite rankings, Hamm is a four-star prospect, No. 259 overall in the nation, No. 17 among all tight ends, and No. 3 in the state of Kansas. 247Sports lists him as the No. 16 tight end and the No. 3 prospect in Kansas.
