Trent Sellers enjoyed Arkansas visit, commits to Hogs
FAYETTEVILLE — Mobile (Ala.) The Faith Academy three-star Class of 2025 edge Trent Sellers took his first official visit and gave very high marks to Arkansas.
Sellers, 6-5, 240, was one of eight recruits at Arkansas this weekend as the Hogs wrapped up the June portion of official visits. He committed to the Hogs and became the 15th pledge.
“It felt like a good fit for me,” Sellers said. “A family fit.”
The visit obviously helped Arkansas and Sellers talked about that.
“It went good,” Sellers said. “I feel like I really like it up here. I like the campus and coaches.”
Sellers talked about the highlight of the official visit.
“It’s more than I was expecting up here,” Sellers said. “I thought it was going to be more empty up here, but there’s actually a lot of stuff up here.”
Despite offers from such schools as Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Jackson State, Nebraska, UAB and many others Arkansas landed him.
“This is my first official visit,” Sellers said.
At Arkansas, Settles will be coached by Deke Adams. The defensive line coach has made a strong impression on Settles.
“Coach Adams is a real nice guy,” Settles said. “He keeps it real. Will tell you the truth not just what you want to hear. I feel like he really cares for me as a player and person. It helps me become a better player and person.”
As a junior, Sellers had 69 tackles, 42 solo, 10 for loss and five sacks. He talked about what he feels are his strengths on the field.
“My ball get off,” Settles said. “I am good putting pressure on the quarterback”
