Parker’s de-commitment likely comes as no surprise to Hog fans as the Class of 2025 target began visiting other programs late last year and was recruited to Fayetteville by Smith

Oh he's only leaving because he is more interested in the coach that just voluntarily jumped ship to a big 12 school. Whew

I think if we're being honest here. Most fans with half a brain are numb to the football program other than the ones that actually believe Bobby will be the HC before seasons end.

Clearly Hunter will have the common decency to wait until after the Mizzou game to make the move.

If a kid is talking about what’s best for his family it ain’t about playing time.

Kids are going to the highest bidder.

Stellar NIL program and coaching staff we got. Losing the top player in the state to LSU

If we're 2-5 decency gets thrown out the window.

Dallas South Oak Cliff three-star linebacker JJ Shelton committed to the Arkansas Razorbacks late Monday afternoon.

Shelton is the nation’s No. 593 overall prospect, No. 62 linebacker and No. 99 recruit from Texas in the 2025 cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking — a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Shelton is the fourth recruit committed to Arkansas’ 2025 recruiting class. He joins North Little Rock (Ark.) Central Arkansas Christian four-star quarterback Grayson Wilson, Atlanta (Texas) three-star running back Markeylin Batton and Bay Saint Louis (Miss.) St. Stanislaus kicker Evan Noel.

Arkansas also currently leads for University City (Calif.) wide receiver Dreyden Garner, he told On3 earlier this month.

“Arkansas moved to the top of the list,” Garner told On3. “The visit went really good. I saw the new offense, it is flashy and I like how the let the receivers go deep.

“The coaches made me feel good too. Coach Ronnie Fouch makes me want to be there. His coaching style and the way he wants them to play is high expectations. I like that.

“Then the coaching staff and the facilities stood out to me also. I like the strength and conditioning coaches too and how the program just wants to win bad as the team.”

Mobile (Ala.) Williamson safety Taijh Overton has verbally committed to Sam Pittman and the Arkansas Razorbacks. The 6-2, 190-pound defensive back went public with his decision at 4:30 p.m. Thursday to become the Hogs' fifth commitment for the Class of 2025.

Overton, who visited Fayetteville unofficially on March 9 and will return for an official visit on June 21, chose the Razorbacks over scholarship offers from Florida State, Missouri, Ole Miss, Memphis, Marshall, Liberty and others. He was offered by assistant head coach Scott Fountain on January 30.

"When my family and I went up there, they made me feel at home," Overton told HawgSports of his decision. "I have a really good connection and relationships with the coaches. While up there, I fell in love with their whole program overall from the educational aspect to their football program, I really loved it."

According to 247Sports, Overton is a three-star recruit who ranks 66th nationally among all safety prospects, and 33rd overall regardless of position in the state of Alabama for the Class of 2025. The 247Sports Composite rankings have Overton even higher as the 49th safety in the land and the 28th prospect in his home state.

As a junior, Overton, who goes by the nickname 'The Hammer,' totaled 116 tackles, 9 tackles for loss, 3 interceptions, 2 sacks, 19 passes defended, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery.

Overton joins an Arkansas class that already included four commitments in Maumelle (Ark.) Central Arkansas Christian quarterback Grayson Wilson, Atlanta (Texas) running back Markeylin Batton, Dallas (Texas) South Oak Cliff linebacker Jayden Shelton, and Bay St. Louis (Miss.) St. Stanislaus kicker Evan Noel.

With the addition of Overton, the Razorbacks go from 61st nationally in the team recruiting rankings and 15th in the SEC to 54th in the country and 13th in the league.

Arkansas signed zero Alabama prospects in three classes between 2020-22, but signed three from the Yellowhammer State in 2023 and added four more in 2024, including a trio of four-star recruits in quarterback KJ Jackson, defensive lineman Kavion Henderson, and linebacker Bradley Shaw. The Razorbacks have offered a total of 27 prospects in Alabama for the Class of 2025 and has scheduled official visits from Overton and Saraland wide receiver Dillon Alfred (June 21), and expected visits from Helena cornerback Jeremiah Alvis, The Montgomery Academy wide receiver DJ Vinson, Birmingham Parker defensive end Caleb Smith, and Montgomery Carver wide receiver Tristan Norman.

Overton will join an Arkansas secondary that currently includes eight scholarship safeties in redshirt-super senior Hudson Clark, super-senior Doneiko Slaughter, senior Jayden Johnson, junior Miguel Mitchell, sophomore TJ Metcalf, sophomore Dylan Hasz, and a pair of redshirt-freshmen in RJ Johnson and Christian Ford.

Pittman and the Hogs are currently hosting several transfer targets on Day 9 of the 15-day spring transfer window. So far, the Razorbacks have received visits from Charlotte transfer linebacker Nikhai Hill-Green, Florida State transfer running back Rodney Hill, Jacksonville State transfer linebacker Larry Worth, Louisville transfer linebacker Jaylin Alderman, Utah State transfer linebacker Anthony Switzer, and Louisville transfer defensive tackle Tawfiq Thomas.

Arkansas is expected to welcome another transfer defensive lineman on Friday when Texas Southern transfer Elinus Noel III makes his way to Fayetteville.

The Arkansas Razorbacks added another piece to their 2025 recruiting class on Thursday, as three-star safety Taijh Overton announced his commitment to Arkansas.

Overton, a native of Mobile, Alabama, held offers from Missouri, Florida State, Ole Miss and others in addition to the Razorbacks.

He made his announcement on his X (formerly Twitter) account.

Arkansas got in the race on Jan. 30, and he took an unofficial visit to the Hill for a Prospect Day on March 8.

The 6-foot-1, 180-pound defensive back finished his junior campaign with 116 total tackles and nine tackles for loss.

In coverage, Overton is fundamentally sound and is quick to the ball. He picked off three passes in 10 games for Williamson High School and deflected 19 total passes.

Any word on whether we’re still active in this portal cycle? I thought we would be after some linebackers, defensive linemen, offensive lineman, and potentially another corner of the right one presented itself.
