The Razorbacks had a pretty good day on Sunday, all things considered. First, three-star Arkansas commit Jamie Vance turned in a stellar performance, doing well enough to earn defensive back MVP honors over several other highly-ranked players. But even before the camp started the Razorbacks were on the lips of several top participants in the event, including the Rivals250 trio of offensive tackle Chris Morris and linebackers Bryson Eason and Martavius French. French and Eason were recently on campus in Fayetteville and continue to speak highly of the program, while Morris also Arkansas near the top of his list. After pulling players from Tennessee like Trey Knox, Shamar Nash and Eric Gregory in the 2019 class, it looks like the Hogs could be poised for another big year in the Volunteer State.

OL MVP

No offensive tackle could even come close to Morris on Sunday. The Rivals100 offensive lineman was consistently awesome all afternoon. He was one step ahead of the defensive ends in front of him, showing great anticipation and elite power to handle them. I’m not sure Morris missed a rep on the day, showing off great footwork and technique to keep the pocket clean, earn MVP honors and punch his ticket to the Five-Star Challenge. Alabama, Texas A&M, Arkansas and several others are in the mix for Morris.

LB MVP

quote:
There was a strong group of linebackers Sunday, but McDonald really stood out in this setting. Some may be recruiting him as a bigger safety to play in the box, but he could definitely go play linebacker on the next level. What stood out as much as anything was how he played under control. He let the receivers or the running backs come to him without wasted steps and he was locking those guys up in coverage. He is very athletic, he flashed great speed and he is a versatile defender. Ole Miss, LSU and several others are in the mix for McDonald.

DB MVP

quote:
There were a multitude of candidates worthy of MVP honors in the secondary, but Vance, an Arkansas verbal pledge, was the best of the group. Vance was able to shadow receivers and move well laterally all day long. He exhibited great anticipation on a couple of short routes and went step-for-step with receivers down the field on vertical balls.

French is coming off a stellar junior season and he’s carried that momentum into the camp circuit, showing nice mobility for a players his size. Known for being a thumper and a tackling machine in games, French was terrific in the open-field tackling drill, as smaller quicker backs were unable to shake him in space.

The Rivals100 linebacker suffered a variety of bumps and bruises that limited him during portions of his junior year but now he looks fully healthy and he showed it on Sunday. Despite being 250 pounds, Eason was able to cover smaller, quicker backs in space and he also acquitted himself during the open-field tackling portion of the event. South Carolina, Ole Miss, Arkansas and several others are in the mix for Eason.
