Arkansas has landed a fourth new addition on Saturday as Cincinnati transfer defensive back Jordan Young has committed to the Hogs. The UA officially announced Young as signed at approximately 11:20 a.m.
Young, 6-0, 197, is a Tampa (Fla.) native who began his career at Florida. He posted 35 tackles and five pass break-ups in 2024, following a 2023 campaign in which he recorded 34 tackles, an interception and six PBUs.
Young had 11 tackles and a break-up in his first two years and is seen as a versatile addition who could help at multiple positions in the secondary.
"Because I feel like this would be the best school to develop me as a player and a person for the next level," Young said of his decision. "That's what I'm looking for in my school. So that would be my reasoning."

Arkansas has earned the commitment of Ole Miss transfer offensive lineman Kavion Broussard, he announced Monday.
A 6-foot-6, 308-pound freshman, Broussard did not make a single appearance for the Rebels in 2024 after choosing them over Mississippi State, Missouri, Miami and others out of high school.
The former three-star prospect is viewed as a versatile lineman with the ability to play at tackle and guard. Broussard chose the Razorbacks over offers from Vanderbilt, Georgia Tech, Arkansas State, Miami, Marshall and others.

Arkansas has landed Ole Miss transfer offensive lineman Kavion Broussard, per 247Sports' own Chris Hummer and Matt Zenitz. Broussard, 6-6, 308, was a heavily-recruited prospect out of Zachary (La.) in the Rebels' Class of 2024.
UPDATE: Broussard has now announced his commitment to Arkansas
Broussard, an interior lineman who is expected to help Eric Mateos' room at guard, made his decision following an official visit last week in Fayetteville. He also had offers from Miami, Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt and others.
Broussard is the fourth offensive lineman to say yes to Mateos and the Razorbacks in the current transfer cycle, joining JacQawn McRoy (Oregon), Corey Robinson (Georgia Tech), and Caden Kitler (UCF). McRoy and Robinson are viewed as tackles while Kitler is a center.
Arkansas now has 14 total new additions from the transfer portal. It entered the day ranked 16th nationally in the team transfer rankings, though five of the newcomers have yet to be rated by 247Sports.

Arkansas landed one of its top remaining portal targets (VIP) Tuesday when Charlotte transfer wide receiver O'Mega Blake signed with the Razorbacks. Blake chose wide receivers coach Ronnie Fouch and the Hogs over South Carolina, where he spent his first three seasons from 2021-23, and the Florida State Seminoles, where he visited last week before checking out Fayetteville (Ark.).
Texas A&M, Wisconsin and others also offered the 6-2, 180-pound South Carolina native.
Blake had a breakout season as a redshirt-junior in 2024, recording 32 receptions for 795 yards and 9 touchdowns while averaging 24.84 yards per reception, which ranks second nationally in the NCAA.
Blake posted just five catches for 53 yards and a touchdown in the first four weeks of the season, then averaged 92.75 per contest while scoring eight times in eight games. Blake recorded 19 receptions for 250 yards and two touchdowns in 2023 with Carolina, which included a five-catch, 86-yard performance against Georgia in Week 3.
He is considered the No. 110 overall prospect in the transfer portal and 27th among all wide receivers with an overall grade of 89, making him a borderline four-star per 247Sports. As a high school prospect, Blake was graded at 87 and was tabbed the fifth-best player in South Carolina for the Class of 2021.
The Rock Hill (S.C.) native joins a transfer receiving class that already features two in Raylen Sharpe (Fresno State) and Kam Shanks (UAB). Fouch and the Razorbacks are still in contention for Missouri transfer receiver Courtney Crutchfield, who chose the Tigers over the Hogs as a four-star recruit from Pine Bluff (Ark.) in last year's recruiting cycle.

We got another coming...
I spoke with some of the staff tonight. I really do believe that we are fulfilling our roster better than most believed.
Omega is a dude, our Oline is vastly going to be improved talent wise.

Arkansas added a 16th addition from the transfer portal on Christmas Day when former Missouri wide receiver Courtney Crutchfield went public with his signing to the Razorbacks. Crutchfield, 6-1, 185, is a true freshman and former four-star recruit from Pine Bluff (Ark.) who redshirted in his first season with the Tigers. He entered the portal at the end of Mizzou's 9-3 regular season.
Crutchfield finished as a borderline five-star prospect in the Class of 2024, ranking 43rd nationally overall, No. 10 among all wide receivers and second in the state of Arkansas. He is the fourth wide receiver addition from the portal for wide receivers coach Ronnie Fouch, joining UAB transfer Kam Shanks, Charlotte transfer O'Mega Blake, and Fresno State transfer Raylen Sharpe.
UPDATE: Crutchfield has officially signed with Arkansas
Arkansas entered the day ranked 15th nationally and eighth in the SEC team transfer rankings.
Hudson Standish gave Crutchfield a glowing review as a prospect last fall, comparing him to NFL standout CeeDee Lamb of the Dallas Cowboys:
"One of the top prospects from the state of Arkansas in the modern recruiting era. An explosive three-level playmaker with a propensity for jaw-dropping highlight-reel moments. A true "even when he's covered, he's open" receiver who can use his 6-foot-2 frame and top-tier leaping skills to bully defensive backs at the catch point or glide past defenders with his smooth long-striding gait. Locates the ball in the air at a high level and has a knack for making acrobatic body adjustments at the last moment to secure difficult catches. Plucks the ball out of the air with good arm extension. Will need to become a more efficient and nuanced route runner to beat similarly athletic defenders in the SEC. Well-rounded skill set should allow him to move around the offense to hunt matchups outside or in the slot. Combination of extremely productive two-way snaps and an elite multi-sport athletic profile offer significant long-term NFL upside."
Arkansas now has 16 transfer additions including Crutchfield, wide receiver Raylen Sharpe (Fresno State), Kam Shanks (UAB), O'Mega Blake (Charlotte), running back Mike Washington (New Mexico State), tight end Jaden Platt (Texas A&M), offensive linemen JacQawn McRoy (Oregon), Kavion Broussard (Ole Miss), Corey Robinson (Georgia Tech) and Caden Kitler (UCF), defensive linemen Ken Talley (Michigan State), David Oke (Abilene Christian) and Justus Boone (Florida), and defensive backs Jordan Young (Cincinnati), Quentavius Scandrett (Eastern Michigan) and Kani Walker (Oklahoma).

Pine Bluff native and Missouri transfer wide receiver Courtney Crutchfield signed with Arkansas on Wednesday.
The former four-star recruit announced his intentions to enter the transfer portal last Thursday and he officially entered last Friday. Crutchfield redshirted this season for the Tigers.
A 6-foot-2, 188-pound pass catcher, Crutchfield recorded 42 receptions for 930 yards and 13 touchdowns his senior season at Pine Bluff. He was committed to Arkansas for nearly seven months before eventually signing with Missouri.
Crutchfield will have four years of eligibility remaining. He was rated by Rivals as the No. 2 overall recruit and No. 1 wide receiver in the state of Arkansas in the 2024 recruiting class.

Oatis had a bit of a quiet week but maybe he’s just a gamer. Because when the lights came on he turned it up considerably. The Arkansas signee played with power and speed from his interior spot on the defensive line and wrecked havoc in the backfield. The Razorbacks may have gotten a steal with the Hattiesburg native.

Redshirt senior Maryland offensive line transfer Marcus Dumervil has committed to Arkansas following an official visit, his agent confirmed with HawgBeat on Saturday.
A 6-foot-5, 310-pound offensive tackle, Dumervil finished the 2024 season with a 50.6 offensive grade, a 48.9 pass-block grade and a 49.3 run-block grade on 279 snaps, according to Pro Football Focus. He started three games for the Terrapins this season and played at least 20 snaps in seven contests.
Dumervil also played at Maryland during the 2023 campaign, but spent three years at LSU (2020-22) before that. The Florida native was a four-star prospect out of high school and originally chose the Tigers over LSU, Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Georgia and others.

Arkansas has added four transfer offensive linemen from the portal, so far, but Eric Mateos and the Razorbacks are still seeking more help up front. They appear to be in good shape for a Big Ten target after hosting Maryland transfer and former LSU offensive lineman Marcus Dumervil on Friday and Saturday.
Arkansas has landed its 17th addition from the transfer portal after receiving a commitment from Maryland transfer offensive lineman Marcus Dumervil on Saturday. Dumervil, 6-5, 310, went public with his decision after wrapping up an official visit in Fayetteville.
"It's a place to come in and compete, play top-notch talent every week," Dumervil said of his decision. "Big-time program, big-time school and big-time coaches."
The Hogs hosted a few official visitors this week as the NCAA allowed midyear transfers to start taking visits again on January 1.
"I feel like the visit is great, feels great to be down here in Fayetteville," Dumervil said. "Coach Pittman and the rest of his staff is magnificent. It feels great out here, the weather's not too bad, not too cold. Not yet. But everything has been going great and I'm really enjoying my stay."
"The highlight honestly is, you know, I played against Arkansas on the away side, so being able to see the home side of Arkansas and what Fayetteville has to offer has really been a highlight of the trip."
Dumervil, a former Top247 four-star recruit who signed with LSU out of Florida in 2020. He played in 16 career games in three years with the Tigers before moving on to Maryland, where he played in 14 more games with 10 starts this season.
"I would say just seeing the facilities and interacting with the coaches (was the visit highlight)," Dumervil said. "It's really a family atmosphere here, the facilities are second to none, so it's really a gem in the middle of nowhere honestly."
Dumervil, the nephew of former NFL defensive back Elvis Dumervil, who played for Arkansas offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino, had another trip lined up to UNLV after Fayetteville but will no longer take it following his commitment.
A decision came soon after Dumervil had stated he didn't plan to announce anything soon.

Stanford redshirt sophomore transfer wide receiver Ismael Cisse has signed with Arkansas, the program announced Monday evening.
A 6-foot-0, 200-pound native of Colorado, Cisse caught 26 passes for 241 yards and two touchdowns in 2024. His best performance of the season came against Cal poly on Sept. 7, when he grabbed eight passes for 79 yards with a score.
Cisse also notched eight receptions and 49 receiving yards against Syracuse one week later.
According to Pro Football Focus, Cisse finished with a 63.2 offensive grade, a 63.5 pass grade and a 57.2 run-block grade on 381 snaps.
Rated as a three-star prospect in the class of 2023, Cisse earned offers from Stanford, California, Colorado, Colorado State, UNLV, USC and others before landing with the Cardinal.

Arkansas received its 18th addition from the transfer portal Monday evening when Stanford transfer wide receiver Ismael Cisse inked with the Razorbacks. Cisse, 6-1, 200, is a redshirt-freshman who will have three years remaining in Fayetteville.
The Englewood (Colo.) native made his decision known on Monday, two days after wrapping up an official visit on The Hill.
"Because of the family aspect," Cisse said of his decision. "I really love Coach Fouch, just the game plan and what they have, how they want to use me. Definitely for the coaching and the environment, a family feel. That's really what I'm looking forward to developing to get to the next level."
Here's more from Cisse's official visit recap, in which he praised the Hogs' family atmosphere and open competition for playing time in 2025:
"I didn't have any negative views or anything beforehand," Cisse said. "I mean, where Arkansas is, it's a calm little town, calm little environment. So I'm just enjoying it right now. I'm from Colorado, so I'm used to the atmosphere."
The Razorbacks have an interesting situation at receiver, where there will need to be multiple departures at some point as they're still way over the usual target number of 11-12 total scholarship players. The Hogs have already added four to the room, and Cisse sees the open jobs as an opportunity to play in the nation's toughest league.
"For sure, it does," he said. "Obviously it's SEC ball so it's a level up from where I was previously at. Not better, but sometimes more competition, I'll put it (that way). So, that's always fun, SEC ball. I don't feel pressure. I'm ready to go whenever."
While Cisse's first-year stat line likely won't blow anyone away, it's hard not to be impressed by his 550-pound squat as a 200-pound athlete.
"They're kind of a little surprised coming from a receiver, but I know the power really comes from the legs, so just have to make sure I'm strong in that aspect," Cisse said. "I'm hard to tackle, so that's a big plus in my game. I just like to get the ball in my hands and do what I can do. Squatting 550 allows me to do more on the field than people think."
Wide receivers coach Ronnie Fouch is credited with landing Cisse, but his assistant coach, Dylan Cruz, is a former Stanford employee who provided help, too.
Arkansas having former Stanford assistant Dylan Cruz on staff as an analyst also helps the Hogs in some capacity.
"It definitely does, I already knew him previously, too," Cisse said. "Coming up here and meeting him again, having somebody that I already know, it's definitely a plus."
