Who is Arkansas football recruiting heavily for early signing day? What to know

Early signing day is just around the corner, and it might be a day without much drama for Arkansas football.

According to 247Sports, there isn’t a recruit who has taken a visit to Fayetteville that is currently uncommitted. The Razorbacks’ 2025 class currently has 24 commits after signing 18 players last cycle.

If Arkansas is going to make any late moves up the national rankings, it’ll likely be at the detriment of other programs, but the Hogs are also fending off a flip from a notable commit.

Here are four recruiting targets for the Hogs with signing day approaching.

Arkansas football recruiting targets

The biggest name to watch is actually an Arkansas commit. Linebacker Tavion Wallace (Baxley, Ga.), the highest-ranked recruit in the Hogs’ class, took unofficial visits to Florida State for each of the Seminoles’ final two games. Travis Williams has been an ace recruiter, but Wallace might be trending away from Arkansas down the stretch.

Otherwise, the Razorbacks are trying to finish off some flips of their own. Little Rock Central’s Omarion Robinson is an Oklahoma commit who attended Arkansas’ recent game against Texas. With one safety currently committed, Robinson is a priority for Arkansas.

Two other names to watch are wide receiver Kelshaun Johnson and offensive lineman Logan Schram. Johnson is committed to Texas A&M, and Schram has a pledge to TCU, but Arkansas hasn’t stopped recruiting either player.

Arkansas football recruiting rankings

Arkansas is flirting with a class that ranks outside the top-30 nationally. The 247sports composite currently slates the Hogs 31st, while On3 has them 31st and Rivals slots them 28th. ESPN is more bullish with Arkansas at No. 23 in its latest rankings.

Thirty-first is better than 90 other teams across the country, but the only team Arkansas currently ranks higher than in the SEC according to the 247Sports Composite is Vanderbilt.

When is early signing day?

The first day of the early signing period is Wednesday Dec. 4 and the early signing period closes on Friday Dec. 6.

When is late signing day?

As usual, the first day of the late signing period is the first Wednesday in February which is Feb. 5. The late signing period has become without much drama for a program like Arkansas, which often wraps up virtually all of its high school recruiting for the current class this month.
