In-state 4-star linebacker Brian Huff is expected to arrive in Fayetteville about mid-afternoon today for his official visit to Arkansas.
Huff, who officially visited Central Florida last weekend, explained why he’s making the trip to Arkansas.
“It’s in-state, they’re definitely one of the schools I can see myself playing at,” Huff said.
He mainly communicates with Coach Sam Pittman, defensive coordinator Travis Williams and assistant linebackers coach/senior defensive analyst Jake Trump while also in a group chat with the entire defensive staff.

“I want a good relaltionship with whatever school I go to I want to have a good relationship with the coaches I’ll be with so that plays a big role,” Huff said. “My relaltionship with the Arkansas coaching staff is pretty good. We have a big group chat we all text in there and they text me individually one-on-one and see how I’m doing. Checking up on me“
Huff, 6-3, 225 pounds, of Valley View High School has accumulated scholarship offers from Arkansas, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Missouri, LSU, Mississippi State, Central Florida, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, UNLV and other programs.

While the Arkansas Razorbacks have been hitting the transfer portal hard, it is partially as a result of having more than 20 scholarship players decide to enter the portal after a 6-6 regular season that was capped off with a Liberty Bowl win over Texas Tech on Dec. 27.

The transfer portal officially opened Dec. 9 and it was open for a 30 day window through Dec. 28. There is also an additional five-day window for players to enter once their season is over, plus there will be an additional 10-day portal window from April 16-25.

From: Christian Brothers High School (Memphis, TN)
MEMPHIS –While Beale Street is famous for being the Home of the Blues, red was the color of the day Dec. 26 at the Beale Street Parade, where many watchers were clad in red — a team color for both teams playing in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl the following day.
Marching bands, vintage vehicles, cheer squads and floats marched, strutted and cruised down the historic street in downtown Memphis as fans of the Arkansas Razorbacks and the Texas Tech Red Raiders lined the streets, cheering as bands and cheer squads from their schools passed by.
The University of Arkansas Razorback Marching Band, cheerleaders and pep squad brought up the rear of the parade, creating a grand finale as they marched to meet Texas Tech’s Goin’ Band from Raiderland at Beale Street’s Handy Park for a festive Bash on Beale Pep Rally. Both the parade and the pep rally were sponsored by the Beale Street Merchants Association.
