Where Arkansas football sits in recruiting rankings ahead of early signing day
Arkansas football has finished inside the top-30 of the 247Sports recruiting rankings for five consecutive cycles, but that streak looks in jeopardy.
Early signing day is approaching, and the Razorbacks are trying to hold on to their own recruits while simultaneously chasing players currently committed to other schools. With the transfer portal opening later this month, the next four weeks will play a big role in the 2025 roster.
Here’s a look at where Arkansas stands in the national rankings entering signing day.
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.
Arkansas’ class ranks 15th in the SEC, according to the 247Sports Composite. According to that same site’s player rankings, only four Arkansas commits are four-star prospects.
One of those four-star prospects is Conway quarterback Grayson Wilson, who might be the jewel of the class. The others are linebacker Tavion Wallace, defensive lineman Kevin Oatis and offensive lineman Connor Howes.
Arkansas football recruiting targets
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. He is the biggest name to watch on signing day.
Howes is also still being recruited by Ole Miss, too. Arkansas would likely clinch a class outside the top-30 if both of those players flip.
The Hogs are also working on flips of their own. Safety Omarion Robinson and wide receiver Kelshaun Johnson are ones to watch. Robinson is committed to Oklahoma and Johnson has a pledge to Texas A&M.
Arkansas football recruiting class 2025
The Razorbacks enter signing day with 23 commits. The strength of the class is along the defensive front, with seven of the top-10 ranked recruits either playing defensive line or linebacker.
Wide receiver is a position of need this offseason, and Arkansas has two pass catchers committed in the 2025 class. Kamare Williams out of Florida and in-state Antonio Jordan could both see playing time as a freshman with Andrew Armstrong, Tyrone Broden and Isaac TeSlaa all out of eligibility after the bowl game.
One of the commits is our of the JuCo ranks. Bubba Craig is an interior offensive lineman out of Hutchinson Community College who will sign with the Razorbacks this week.
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, 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.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KAIT) – Registration is open for the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission’s annual urban deer hunt.
This year’s hunts will be held in Cherokee Village, Fairfield Bay, Heber Springs, Helena-West Helena, Horseshoe Bend and Russellville.
The archery-only hunts are designed to offer an “inexpensive and effective method of nuisance deer management,” according to an AGFC news release.
Deer harvested during the urban hunts do not count toward a hunter’s seasonal limit, and there are no limits to the number of deer that can be harvested.
However, the first deer taken must be donated to Arkansas Hunters Feeding the Hungry, which provides ground meat to food pantries across the state.
Hunters must pass the International Bowhunters Education Program before participating. The program is available at www.agfc.com/education/hunter-education.
Hunters also must attend orientation to learn the specific rules of the hunts and pass a shooting proficiency test.

Latest Peppermint Hippo court filing alleges misconduct by Arkansas officials, asks for liquor license reinstatement
Video: Peppermint Hippo appeals liquor license revocation before Alcoholic Beverage Control board
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – The latest court filing by a lawyer representing the Peppermint Hippo gentlemen’s club alleges misconduct by an Arkansas agency and its department head.
The filing asks that the club’s liquor license be reinstated pending judicial review of the January 2026 decision to revoke it. It alleges that Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Director Christy Bjornson “tainted the entire administrative proceedings.”
The filing alleges Bjornson had ex parte, or single-sided, conversations with Peter Riberiro about the death of his brother, John Riberiro. John Riberiro was killed in November 2021 after being ejected from the club and climbing a fence alongside Interstate 40, where he was hit by a car.
Peter Riberiro contacted ABC by email in February 2025, calling for the club’s license to be revoked. Bjornson replied to the email personally, and she and ABC Director of Enforcement David Potter then had a series of phone conferences with Peter Riberiro and his attorney through January 2026, ex parte communications since Peppermint Hippo representatives were not included, the filing alleges.
The filing also alleges that Bjornson acted with “extreme bias” in the club’s list of violations, including those that had previously been investigated and found unfounded. Bjornson determined the club was in violation, then looked for evidence substantiating her views, the filing alleges.
The state maintains, in a separate filing, that Bjornson’s communications were not ex parte under Arkansas law because she was acting as an administrator and the final decision was made by the ABC board, not her. Even if she was, the state’s filing continues, the decision to revoke was due to “substantial evidence and was neither arbitrary, capricious, nor an abuse of discretion.”
A hearing about the reinstatement is scheduled for Aug. 3 in Pulaski County Circuit Court.
