New Arkansas coach Chad Morris made a splash on the Birmingham recruiting scene Thursday.

Arkansas offered scholarships to five Hewitt-Trussville players -- quarterback Paul Tyson, offensive lineman Pierce Quick, defensive back Myles Mason, defensive back Malachi Moore and receiver Dazalin Worsham.

Hewitt-Trussville coach Josh Floyd is an Arkansas native who played quarterback for current Auburn coach Gus Malzahn in high school. He also coached in Arkansas before arrived at Hewitt-Trussville in 2014.

Tyson, the great-grandson of legendary Alabama coach Paul "Bear" Bryant and an uncommitted prospect, threw for 3,392 yards and 36 touchdowns in 2017 while leading the Huskies to an 11-1 record.

Quick, a junior, has already committed to Alabama, and Mason, a senior who transferred from Pleasant Grove last summer, has committed to Mississippi State.

Arkansas is the first SEC school to offer Moore, a sophomore who's seen as a locker-down corner in the future. Worsham caught nine touchdowns in 2017. Moore and Worsham are uncommitted.
