Diamond Hogs land Fayetteville High School’s best pitcher for 2025 class

Arkansas Dave Van Horn continued building the Diamond Hogs well into the future throughout August.

The population explosion of Northwest Arkansas over the last 20 years has been a boon to Razorbacks athletics across the board.

It’s the Diamond Hogs, though, have benefitted the most, probably, when it comes to local talent. Fayetteville High, which sits literally next door to the university campus, has provided Arkansas with a boatload of talent the last 25 years.

The latest such? FHS right-hander Jaison Delamar.

The Class of 2025 pitcher announced his commitment via Twitter on Saturday. He picked Arkansas over the courtship of several others, including Tennessee, which is coached by former Arkansas assistant Tony Vitello.

The commitment is far from a surprise. Earlier in August, Delamar had retweeted the commitment announcements of pitchers/outfielders Lincoln Boyle and Russ Martin to Arkansas.

Martin will join Delmar in 2025 and Boyle is set for 2026.
