3* Dre Greenlaw, S/LB from Fayetteville, commits to the Hogs

Not a star power get, but he's certainly got me excited. 6'1" and 220. Bielema wants him at Will, but the kid is evidently really good in coverage.

Good Rivals article on the kid

"For a guy his size, he moves tremendously well," Howell said. "He's got great lateral quickness and he's got great ball skills. Whether it's from the safety spot or somewhere else, he jumps routes well, he's really good in coverage, and he's a big physical guy, too. He's not afraid to come down and lay a hit. You're talking about a guy at 6-1, 215 pounds, chances are he's going to get a little bigger at the college level, so he's a linebacker-bigger safety kind of guy with cover skills and that's hard to find."

And hey, anytime you impress Deion Sanders it's got to count for something, right?

When Deion Sanders says he's impressed by a prospect, you have to pay attention. 'Prime Time' was on hand for the Rivals Camp in Dallas in March, and after seeing Greenlaw grab four interceptions and break up three more passes on the day, the NFL Hall of Famer walked over to where some of us analysts were standing and wanted to know more about the defensive back out of Fayetteville. Sanders also made it a point to stop Greenlaw during the camp and tell him how impressed he was.

His commitment pushes Arkansas up to #18 on the 247 composite team rankings. We will likely take 9 more players this class.
