Edge rusher Trent Sellers commits to Arkansas

Arkansas’ 2025 recruiting class is now ranked 12th in the SEC.

Trent Sellers is No. 15.

Not his jersey number, no. But Sellers, an edge rusher in the Class of 2025, became the 15th commit to the Arkansas football class when he announced such commitment Sunday night.

Sellers turned down offers from Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Nebraska for the Razorbacks. He was Arkansas’ second commitment of the day, following Warren High wide receiver Antonio Jordan. Both are three-star recruits.

Arkansas’ 2025 recruiting class is now ranked 12th in the SEC and 30th in the nation. The Hogs moved ahead of Kentucky and Missouri in the now-16-team league with the two commitments on Sunday

Sellers is the fourth defensive lineman in Arkansas’ class, joining Keiundre Johnson, JaQuentin Madison and Caleb Bell. The Hogs will likely lose four of their primary six defensive lineman after next season. Landon Jackson, Anton Juncaj, Keivie Rose and Eric Gregory are all seniors and all expected to be major contributors in 2024.

Arkansas opens the season August 29 in Little Rock against Arkansas-Pine Bluff.

How bad will Arkansas be in 2024? Phil Steele offers dismal projection

Phil Steele has the Razorbacks finishing ahead of only two teams in the SEC standings.

Few, if any, head coaches at Power Four programs are on as big a hot seat heading into the 2024 college football season as Arkansas’ Sam Pittman.

Pittman is entering his fifth season as Razorbacks coach after going 4-8 last season. Only one of those wins came in SEC play — against a Florida Gators program with their own embattled head coach entering the season in Billy Napier.

The Hogs are hoping for a turnaround in 2024. Boise State transfer Taylen Green will likely be the quarterback who replaces KJ Jefferson, and former Arkansas head coach Bobby Petrino was brought in to run the offense.

Phil Steele recently made his projections for the 2024 SEC landscape, and unfortunately for Arkansas, it doesn’t look good.

Steele projects the Razorbacks to finish ahead of only two SEC programs — Mississippi State and Vanderbilt. The Bulldogs have a first-year head coach (for the second season in a row) in Jeff Lebby, while Vanderbilt is coming off a 2-10 season that saw them go winless in conference play.

Per On3’s assessment of where Arkansas lands in Steele’s rankings:

“All eyes are on Fayetteville this year as Sam Pittman enters a crucial year at Arkansas. He moved on from offensive coordinator Dan Enos part-way through his first year with the Razorbacks, and the 2024 season could be important for Pittman’s future with the program.

KJ Jefferson is out after transferring to UCF, meaning it could be Taylen Green’s show at quarterback. Nonetheless, it’s looking like it could be another rough year for Arkansas, which came in at No. 14 in Phil Steele’s SEC predictions.”

The Razorbacks open their season against UAPB Thursday, August 29 at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. CDT. The game can be seen on ESPNU.

Georgia recruit commits to Arkansas football

Peach State defensive end JaQuentin Madison committed to Arkansas over the weekend.

Georgia three-star defensive end recruit JaQuentin Madison committed to the Arkansas Razorbacks on Sunday after an official visit to Fayetteville.

Madison, listed by 247Sports as 6-foot-2, 275 pounds, chose the Razorbacks over Missouri, Georgia Tech, Georgia Southern, SMU, NC State and others.

Like fellow class of 2025 defensive end recruit Keiundre Johnson, who also committed to Arkansas over the weekend, Madison was recruited by Razorbacks defensive line coach Deke Adams.

247Sports lists Johnson as the 120th best defensive lineman in the nation in their Composite Recruiting Rankings for the class of 2025.

Johnson played his junior season at Alpharetta High School in Georgia, where he had 75 tackles (10 for loss), nine sacks, a forced fumble, 17 hurries, two pass deflections and an interception return for a touchdown, according to WholeHogSports.

Three-star Lone Star State DE chooses Arkansas over Texas, Texas A&M

Class of 2025 edge rusher Keiundre Johnson announced his decision to play for Arkansas over the weekend.

Three-star defensive end/EDGE Keiundre Johnson committed to the Arkansas Razorbacks over the weekend.

Listed as 6-foot-4, 215 pounds by On3, Johnson chose the Razorbacks over a host of Texas schools, including the Texas Longhorns, Texas A&M, SMU, as well as LSU and others.

On3 ranks Johnson as the 43rd overall edge rusher in the class of 2025, the 71st best player in Texas, and the 481st best player nationally. 247Sports lists Johnson as the 49th best edge rusher nationally.

Arkansas defensive line coach Deke Adams recruited Johnson to Fayetteville. Johnson is the 12th commitment in Sam Pittman’s class of 2025 recruits.

“The visit was amazing,” both On3 and 247Sports quotes Johnson as saying. “It was way more than I expected. I loved it a lot. I’ve got to talk to Coach Pittman here soon and will probably have some big news coming after that, but I loved it a lot.”

Connor Howes is Arkansas’ second OL commit in as many days

Connor Howes is Arkansas’ first player rated higher than three stars in the 10-person class so far.

One day after Arkansas flipped a commit from Baylor to the Razorbacks, Sam Pittman and Co. grabbed another offensive line commitment in the Class of 2025.

Connor Howes, a four-star recruit from St. Cloud, Florida, became the 10th member of Arkansas’ class when he announced his commitment on Friday. Of the 10, three are offensive linemen, including Blake Cherry from Owasso, Oklahoma, and Kash Courtney from Carthage, Texas.

Arkansas’ class is now ranked 42nd in the country and 12th in the SEC, in front of Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Florida and Mississippi State. Kentucky and Florida each have more four-star commits than Arkansas, which only has one, but the lower number of overal commits keeps the Gators and Wildcats behind the Razorbacks for now. Howes is Arkansas’ lone four-star, though he is just a three-star in the 247Sports rankings.

When it comes to in-state recruiting, Arkansas has landed the fourth- and fifth-ranked players from the Natural State in the class. Two of the remaining three in the top five have not yet fully committed, though Carius Curne, from Marion, started with the Razorbacks before changing his mind for LSU. He is still taking recruiting trips elsewhere, however.

Arkansas flips offensive lineman commit from Baylor

Yikes. Arkansas’ Class of 2025 is now ranked 52nd in the country and 14th in SEC.

Sam Pittman and the Arkansas football program picked up their ninth commitment to the Class of 2025 this week when Kash Courtney decided to call Fayetteville home.

Courtney, a three-star recruit from Carthage, Texas, had been committed to Baylor. But he visited Arkansas at the beginning of June and was bowled over. He joins Blake Cherry, of Owasso, Oklahoma, as the two offensive linmen in the class.

Two of the eight other recruits currently in Arkansas’ class are in-state players: Quarterback Grayson Wilson of Conway and athlete Quentin Murphy of Little Rock Parkview.

The class could use some more spice in addition to quantity. Currently, the Hogs’ Class of 2025 is ranked 52nd in the nation and 14th out of 16 SEC teams.

Arkansas is projected to get one more offensive lineman to the group soon, most likely Connor Howes of Florida, another three-star player and one who visited with Courtney back in June.

Arkansas, Texas kickoff time is set for November 2024 meeting

The SEC announced approximate kickoff times for every other Arkansas that was not previously announced, too, save one.

Arkansas and Texas’ first game as SEC foes now has a kickoff time.

The Razorbacks and Longhorns will go at 11 a.m. on November 16 from Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium. The game is the first between the two schools as conference rivals since they were both in the Southwest Conference in 1991. Arkansas left for the SEC in 1992. The SWC combined with the Big 8 for play in 1996.

For those making plans for the rest of the season, some games have specific start times already set. Those that weren’t previously announced, have approximate times of day.

Arkansas will play Arkansas-Pine Bluff in the season opener at 6:30 p.m. in Little Rock on August 29. The Hogs play at Oklahoma State on September 7 at 11 a.m. And the Razorbacks play their first game in Fayetteville against Alabama-Birmingham at 3:15 on September 14.

Every other Arkansas game is listed as approximate, except for the team’s November 23 game against Louisiana Tech. Arkansas will choose what time that game begins.

As for the others, Arkansas’ game at Auburn on September 21 will either be in the afternoon or evening. The yearly game against Texas A&M in Arlington will be played in the afternoon of September 27. On October 8, the Hogs will host Tennessee in either the afternoon or night.

Following a bye week, Arkansas hosts LSU on October 19 at night, travels to Mississippi State for a early game on October and is back home for Ole Miss for another early game November 2 ahead of the meeting with Texas. The final game of the season, at Missouri, on November 30, will place in the afternoon.

Every Arkansas game will be on ESPN’s family of networks, which includes ABC, as part of a new agreement between the conference and the company.

Arkansas football roster up to 123 playes with 20 new additions this summer

Former MLBer Monte Harrison, former Diamond Hog Austin Ledbetter and a couple of transfers from Florida highlight the additions.

The Arkansas football roster is more or less complete as the team prepares for the fall semester and the subsequent start of the season in late August.

An analysis of the team listed online shows a total of 123 players, 20 more than were previously counted during spring practice. Most of the new additions are walk-ons, though some are players who previously declared their transfer from the portal but were not in Fayetteville in time for spring drills.

The two biggest names are quarterback Austin Ledbetter and wide receiver Monte Harrison. Ledbetter was previously a pitcher for Dave Van Horn and the Diamond Hogs. Harrison, who is in his late 20s, played professional baseball, including stints in the Major League.

Those two are the biggest names, but not the most likely to play, necessarily, among of the new additions. Kyle Ramsey was an FCS All-American kicker at Abilene Christian last year. Sam Dubwig and Devin Bale are walk-on punters and the only two up for the job.

The most significant additions, though, are those 13 scholarship players. Four-star freshman linebacker Bradley Shaw could break into the rotation quickly. Running back Rodney Hill (Florida State) and wide receiver Khafre Brown (South Florida) should also be immediate contributors.

Arkansas football lands potential replacement for Cam Little

The Razorbacks have themselves an All-American kicker on the roster now.

Not many jobs are left open for the Arkansas football team when it comes to starters. One just came out of nowhere, though.

All-American kicker Kyle Ramsey has joined the Razorbacks after transferring from Abilene Christian. He was 14 of 15 on field goals last year at the FCS level and his only miss came from beyond 50 yards. He otherwise made kicks of 55, 51 and two from 54 yards.

Arkansas lost Cam Little, who is tied for the third most field goals in Razorbacks history, to the NFL Draft. Little made 20 of 24 attempts last year and was one of two kickers taken in the draft earlier this year.

Matthew Shipley was Arkansas’ primary kicker during spring practice. Shipley transferred from Hawaii in the offseason. With the Rainbow Warriors in 2023, Shipley made 14 of 18 field goals. He could keep the job at Arkansas but Ramsey will provide plenty of competition.

Arkansas’ kickoff job is open, as well. Little handled those duties last year, but during his sophomore season, Vito Calvalruso was the kickoff man. Calvalruso transferred to Wisconsin for a season but has since returned to Fayetteville.
