Carrollton (Texas) Hebron linebacker/edge Carson Dean has committed to the Arkansas Razorbacks for the Class of 2023. Dean, 6-4, 235, went public with his decision on Monday, two days after visiting and receiving an offer from Sam Pittman’s program.

Dean, who was recruited by linebackers coach Michael Scherer, chose the Razorbacks over Texas, LSU, Baylor, TCU, Texas Tech and many others. His commitment is No. 10 for the Hogs’ 2023 class, which ranks third nationally and first in the SEC.

Dean, who owns a 10.7 in the 100-meter dash, made his decision after being blown away during Saturday’s prospect day.

"It was my best visit yet,” Dean said Saturday night. “The love and hospitality I got was crazy and I’ve experienced nothing like it anywhere else. I really liked getting to talk football with the coaches and them telling me how I would fit in their program. They are very high on my list."

According to the 247Sports Composite rankings, Dean is a three-star prospect, the No. 35 edge rusher in the country, and the No. 72 overall target in Texas for the 2023 cycle. 247Sports lists him as the No. 54 edge rusher and No. 108 in the Lone Star State.
