Four-star wide receiver from Pine Bluff decommits from Arkansas

Courtney Crutchfield was Arkansas’ No. 1 player in the Class of 2024 and is the No. 1 high-schooler in the state.

Arkansas’ 39-36 overtime win over Florida was the good news.

Arkansas losing the commitment of Pine Bluff four-star wide receiver Courtney Crutchfield earlier in the day Saturday was the bad.

Crutchfield announced his decision to de-commit from Arkansas minutes before the Razorbacks kicked off against the Gators. The Zebra wideout implied he was open to re-committing to Arkansas at a later date, but he wanted to keep his options open in the meantime.

Arkansas’ offense has struggled in 2023. Coach Sam Pittman fired offensive coordinator Dan Enos two weeks after a 7-3 loss to Mississippi State, replacing him with wide receivers coach Kenny Guiton. The Hogs offense responded against Florida, gaining a season high 481 yards.

Crutchfield initially committed to Arkansas in April of his junior year of high school. He is No. 1-rated player in the state and was the No. 1-ranked player in Arkansas’ Class of 2024.
