Marietta (Ga.) Kell linebacker Justin Logan has committed to the Arkansas Razorbacks for the Class of 2024. Logan, 6-3, 205, chose the Hogs at approximately 7 a.m. Wednesday, four days after wrapping up an unofficial visit in Fayetteville for Arkansas' Hogwild Hangout event.

Logan picked Arkansas over four other SEC programs in Kentucky, Missouri, Mississippi State and Vanderbilt while also holding offers from the likes of Pittsburgh, Louisville, West Virginia, UCF, Maryland, Duke, Kansas, Georgia Tech, Colorado, Boston College and several others.

"I chose Arkansas because of the atmosphere," Logan said. "It's in the best (conference), the SEC. The coaching staff is just like family. They showed love to every player that walked in no matter their recruiting status. I walked in and felt it."

Logan is the Hogs' first linebacker commitment for the Class of 2024 and was recruited to Fayetteville by first-year defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Travis Williams.

"Really just coach T-Will, he really stood out," Logan said. "A great guy and a great coach. Everyone on the coaching staff talked about how great he is as a coach and just how much respect he has. Even the players. So coach T-Will was definitely a deciding factor between all these schools."

Arkansas plans to start Logan off at the Will position.

"They just talked to me about the same position, Will 'backer, and just staying in the box and just making plays," he said. "I feel like they definitely keep their linebackers clean. The d-linemen keep them clean. If the linebackers can stay clean the more plays they can make."

The Razorbacks' current 2024 class now features 17 total commitments including eight offensive targets in four-star quarterback KJ Jackson of Montgomery (Ala.) St. James, four-star running back Braylen Russell of Benton (Ark.), three-star athlete/running back Jadan Baugh of Decatur (Ga.) Columbia, four-star wide receiver Courtney Crutchfield of Pine Bluff (Ark.), four-star receiver Ashton Bethel-Roman of Missouri City (Texas) Ridge Point, three-star wide receiver CJ Brown of Bentonville (Ark.), three-star offensive lineman Kobe Branham of Fort Smith (Ark.) Southside, and three-star offensive lineman Zuri Madison of Lexington (Ky.) Frederick Douglass.

With Logan now on board, the Hogs also have nine defensive commitments in four-star defensive lineman Charleston Collins of Little Rock (Ark.) Mills, four-star defensive lineman Kavion Henderson of Leeds (Ala.), four-star athlete Julius Pope of Batesville (Miss.) South Panola, four-star cornerback Selman Bridges of Temple (Texas) Lake Belton, three-star cornerback Jaden Allen of Aledo (Texas), three-star athlete Ahkhari Johnson of Texarkana (Texas) Pleasant Grove, three-star defensive back Tevis Metcalf of Pinson (Ala.) Clay-Chalkville, and unranked safety Jeremy Cook of Hoover (Ala.).

Marietta (Ga.) Kell three-star linebacker Justin Logan has found his next home. Logan has committed to Arkansas.

Logan chose the Razorbacks over nearly 40 college offers. He became Arkansas’ 17th commitment in the class of 2024. Logan is the third linebacker committed to the Razorbacks.

He made his way to Fayetteville for the first time last weekend.

Arkansas’ summer closing event moved the needle a lot for Logan. He felt as if he were among family members during the visit. That feeling went a long way in selling Logan on the SEC West program.

“The vibe when I was visited was very family like and the stuff they had us do felt like I was at one of my family BBQs,” Logan told On3.

Arkansas’ coaching staff made Logan feel at home immediately.

“The love and hospitality that they showed me and my family as soon as we got on campus was amazing,” Logan said.

Logan knew he wanted to commit as soon as he stepped on campus last weekend.

“I knew as soon as I got on campus and took a facility tour and they showed us every single room in the whole building,” Logan said.

Arkansas didn’t only wow Logan on the visit. He had been building a relationship with defensive coordinator Travis Williams for months. That bond got Logan on campus and intrigued in the Razorbacks.

“The relationship that me and coach Travis Williams built definitely played a big part in my decision,” Logan said.

Justin Logan high on Arkansas’ culture and direction

Arkansas’ culture is family oriented and led by the players. Logan was a fan of that dynamic. He feels players leading players is a key ingredient for success in any program at any level.

“I love the culture over there, I feel like it is player led and the best football teams are player-led,” Logan said.

Logan has high hopes for the direction that head coach Sam Pittman and his staff are taking the Arkansas program. The Razorbacks have been bowl eligible the last two years under Pittman.

They have won a total of 16 games in the last two years. Logan believes in the talent accumulating in Fayetteville. Arkansas has recruited the state of Georgia heavily in recent years.

“I feel like with all the recruits we are bringing in we are capable of being able to continue to compete on a very high level in the SEC,” Logan said.

Briles was the OC at the time and we were on QBs that fit his style. Think more dual threat type.

Briles leaves and we try to get in on the race but were too far behind.
