Arkansas usually has their pick in JC, and grabbing San Jac’s Harold Coll is no exception here. Has done nothing but perform since hitting campus, true infielder with some of the better hitting tools in JUCO, will be highly-ranked on the annual #PGJC board. @Texas_PG #WPS

Arkansas has yet again signed one of college baseball’s top recruiting classes.

The Razorbacks inked 19 student-athletes to national letters of intent or as committed walk-ons, assembling the fifth-ranked 2022 class in the country by Perfect Game and the No. 7 class in Baseball America’s rankings.

It marks the fourth consecutive year that head coach Dave Van Horn, assisted by hitting coach and recruiting coordinator Nate Thompson and pitching coach Matt Hobbs, has pulled in a top-five class in Perfect Game’s annual rankings. It is the sixth straight year that Arkansas has ranked inside Perfect Game’s Top 10.

“Our staff has built an impressive class,” Van Horn said. “Coach Thompson and Coach Hobbs covered a lot of ground on the recruiting trail to bring in a strong mix of position players and pitchers. Adding this class to our current roster will create a lot of healthy competition within our program. There’s a bright future for this group, and we’re excited to get them here.”

The Hogs’ 19-man recruiting class is comprised of 13 pitchers and six position players hailing from 10 different states, including seven from Arkansas. 17 of the signees come from the high schools ranks, while two — pitcher Cody Adcock and infielder Harold Coll — will join from the junior college level.

“Congratulations to all the members of our 2022 signing class,” Thompson said. “We, as a staff, are extremely excited about these men and what they can do in a Razorback uniform. It is a talented, versatile group that we believe will quickly impact our program on the mound and at the plate.”
