Sam Pittman adds another big-time commit to Arkansas’ 2026 class

Sam Pittman made another splash on the recruiting trail Sunday afternoon, adding a second big-time commit to the 2026 class.

After landing Tay Lockett, one of the best defensive backs in the 2026 recruiting class, Sam Pittman has added another big-time commitment to that class.

[autotag]Bear McWhorter[/autotag], an offensive lineman from Georgia, announced that he was committing to Arkansas on Sunday afternoon. He made the commitment official with a post to his personal Twitter (X) account. The Cartersville (Ga.) native chose the Hogs over an impressive offer list that included Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Florida and Tennessee among others.

McWhorter has taken multiple trips to visit Arkansas and, as fans may recall, even took out a billboard to let Pittman know he wanted to play for the Razorback head coach a while back.

Recruiting rankings for the 2026 class aren’t yet active, but McWhorter projects to be a high-end four-star prospect with the potential to end as five-star it’s all said and done. McWhorter is expected to make a visit to Fayetteville on Sept. 16 for the BYU game.

As mentioned previously, he joins Tay Lockett as the only other commit to this class, which is shaping up to be an impressive one for the Hogs.
