Class of 2022 defensive back Anthony Brown committed Tuesday afternoon to play football for Arkansas next season.
The Milan, Tennessee, safety chose the Razorbacks over Alabama, Oregon, Mississippi State and others. Brown gives Arkansas 19 commits in the Class of 2022 group, including four 4-star players. Coach Sam Pittman’s class is ranked 19th in FBS, per 247Sports.
Brown was on-campus Saturday when Arkansas beat then-No. 15 Texas. It was his third visit to Arkansas.
At Milan, Brown plays running back, quarterback and wide receiver along with defensive back. Pittman and the Hogs recruited him as a safety.
Gabe Brooks, national recruiting analyst for 247Sports, said:
“Owns the requisite height and frame to project as a good-sized safety at the next level,” Brooks wrote. “Lean, athletic build with room to add more mass. Varied on-field experience with three-phase playmaking ability. Could get on the field early as a special teams demon, which he’s shown on his high school’s coverage units. Snaps at running back, receiver, wildcat QB, and safety. Plus athlete on the field who flashes impressive closing speed in pursuit. That speed also manifests at the top end on offense.
