Brad Spence becomes Arkansas Football’s 22nd commitment of the 2023 cycle

Brad Spence, a three-star EDGE from Houston, Texas, becomes the sixth prospect to commit to Arkansas in the month of July.

An edge rusher from the Lone Star state committed to Arkansas on Tuesday, defying a prediction that he would land elsewhere.

[autotag]Brad Spence[/autotag], a three-star EDGE from Klein Forest High School in Houston, Texas announced that he would be committing to Arkansas over Cal and rumored favorite, Texas.

Prior to his commitment, On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine gave the Longhorns a 32% chance to land Spence. Although the prediction was not overwhelming, On3 projected Arkansas to just miss out on Spence.

In a trend that is becoming rare, Spence did not commit to the program that he last visited. Spence visited Arkansas on June 10, then visited Cal the following weekend. Despite Cal getting the final official visit, Spence elected to commit to Arkansas.

Spence led Klein Forest in tackles last season, making 72 stops with 11 being for loss. His junior season performance was good enough to earn him a spot on the first team all-district team.

Spence is the No. 61 ranked EDGE in the country, and the No. 133 overall prospect from Texas for the 2023 cycle according to 247sports’ composite ranking. Spence becomes the 22nd commit for the class of 2023, and the fifth from the state of Texas.

Arkansas target, three-star EDGE set to commit Tuesday

Three-star EDGE Brad Spence is set to choose between Arkansas, Cal, and Texas on Tuesday afternoon.

There is an old saying in sports when a team finds consistent success, “keep your foot on the gas.”

The saying is true for Arkansas Football, especially when it comes to the recruiting trail. The Razorbacks have received commitments from 21 prospects from the 2023 cycle, and are in the running to add another on Tuesday.

[autotag]Brad Spence[/autotag], a three-star EDGE rusher from Klein Forest High School in Houston, Texas, will announce his commitment on Tuesday, and has included Arkansas in his top 3 choices.

Arkansas offered Spence on February 17, becoming the 15th program to do so. Since receiving an offer from Arkansas, Spence has taken in 17 more. But, Arkansas has stood out to Spence. He took his official visit to Arkansas during the weekend of June 10, and put Arkansas in his top 3 college choices on July 1.

Currently, Arkansas has two commits for the 2023 class at EDGE, [autotag]Quincy Rhodes[/autotag] and [autotag]Carson Dean[/autotag], who both are rated as three-stars by 247sports. Arkansas has also four players from the state of Texas who have committed for the 2023 cycle. Most recently, the Razorbacks earned the commitment of [autotag]Jaylon Braxton[/autotag], a four-star CB from Frisco, last Saturday.

Spence will choose between Arkansas, Cal, and Texas on Tuesday. According to 247sports, he will announce his decision at noon CDT.
