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.
