Jaivion Martin hoping to turn heads at Arkansas on Friday
FAYETTEVILLE — Pflugerville (Texas) Class of 2026 three-star tight end Jaivion Martin is among the campers at Arkansas on Friday.
Martin, 6-3, 255, had a very good sophomore season. He caught 32 passes for 557 yards and two touchdowns. The colleges have taken notice with nine already extending an offer including Arizona State, Duke, North Texas and several others. Prior to Arkansas’ camp on Friday Martin talked about why he chose to make the trip to Fayetteville.
“Really I just wanted to see how it was,” Martin said. “How they look. Looking at the coaches and I wanted to come see for myself. How they are looking on my end.”
If Martin attends Arkansas he would play for Morgan Turner, who has put numerous tight ends in the NFL.
“I’ve seen that,” Martin said. “That is why I came. He’s a really good coach. He’s been putting people in the NFL and hoping he can do same for me if I come here. I’m expecting to have a good relationship with him after this camp.”
As far as your play at tight end, what do you do well?
“I catch the ball,” Martin said. “I can get open and can catch difficult balls. Catching puts me over the top right now.”
Martin was working inside the Walker Pavilion doing some testing prior to the camp. He likes what he has seen of the facilities to this point.
“I have been impressed so far,” Martin said. “This is a good indoor field. Looking at the weight room. Coach Turner said he’s going to give me a tour of the facilities so I can see more.”
With nine offers so far Martin has seen the colleges showing strong interest. He talked about what an offer from the Razorbacks would mean to him.
“A lot,” Martin said. “I watch their games a lot and been keeping up with them. I asked my mom can I go because I want to see how it feels up there? So far I’ve been loving it and all the hospitality I’ve been getting.”
If the Razorbacks do offer him they will become his first in the SEC. That would hold special meaning to Martin.
“It would mean a lot,” Martin said. “I love the SEC and I love competing with people. That’s my favorite thing. Compete, that’s what the SEC is. The best place. For me I’m expected to play (in SEC) because I like to work.”

Autopsies rule Arkansas mothers death a suicide; twin children’s deaths homicides
BONANZA, Ark. (KATV) — According to our partners at 40/29 News, autopsies show that Charity Beallis died by suicide, and her six-year-old twin children died by homicide.
Beallis and the children were found on December 3, 2025, in their home in Bonanza. All three had gunshot wounds.
Records show that Beallis and her husband were in the process of divorcing when the murders happened. 40/29 reports that Beallis’ son has asked that their divorce be considered final, while her husband, Randall Beallis, has asked the court to dismiss the divorce proceedings.
The news release listed the following evidence:
— An examination of the transcripts of the deposition of Mrs. Beallis in the divorce/custody case and the final hearing on the case on 12-2-2025, reveal that she wished to be reconciled to her estranged husband, which did not happen. Mrs. Beallis, after being represented by four different attorneys, represented herself in the contested divorce/custody hearing. At the conclusion of the hearing, Mrs. Beallis was ordered to begin joint custody of her children with her estranged husband.
–Mrs. Beallis’ estranged husband was a driver of a Tesla electric vehicle at that time. Tesla has compiled location data on Tesla vehicles, and according to the information provided by Tesla, Mrs. Beallis’ estranged husband’s vehicle was not near the residence in Bonanza on the night in question. Also, the estranged husband’s phones did not “ping” any of the cell towers proximately related to Ms. Beallis’ location.
–Information from the home security alarm company shows the alarm was deactivated by Mrs. Beallis by her phone (she had exclusive access to the security system) at around 10 pm on the night in question. Even though deactivated, the alarm company was able to provide information showing no doors or windows to the home were opened during that time. When law enforcement arrived after 9:30 am on 12-3-2025, there were no doors or windows open, and they had to use a key to enter the home. SCSO rigorously tested the functioning of each door and window and found them to be operating properly.
The court released an order on Wednesday stating that it does not have jurisdiction to rule on those motions regarding the divorce. Beallis’ body has been released to her son, while the children are with Randall Beallis.
