After passing on a signal caller in 2022, the Razorbacks have their quarterback of the future in Malachi Singleton.

Arkansas beat out more than 15 FBS schools, including a final four of Georgia, Miami (FL) and UCF, en route to landing the highly-touted North Cobb (Ga.) prospect.

Despite being rated a 5.5-three-star by Rivals, Singleton showed off his dual-threat ability in 2021, lighting up Georgia’s highest classification as a junior to the tune of 2,316 yards and 24 touchdowns on 75% completion, as well as 1,018 yards and 25 more scores by ground.

His production speaks for itself, but it's also worth noting that a solid chunk came courtesy of 2022 Razorback signee Sam M'Bake. The pre-existing chemistry between the two, as well as what could be considered the start of a Kennesaw-to-Fayetteville pipeline just add to the importance of Singleton's decision.

The numbers, paired with a strong arm, quick decision-making, elite-level speed and escapability make him about as perfect a fit as Sam Pitman and Kendal Briles could have asked for within the Arkansas offense.

Though Singleton's commitment likely wraps up Arkansas' recruitment of quarterbacks in the 2023 cycle, Pittsburg (Calif.)'s Jaden Rashada is one of the only names I'd expect Arkansas to remain in contention for.

Rashada, listed as Rivals' No. 63-overall prospect (No. 7 QB) in the class, visited Fayetteville for Arkansas' spring game last month. In fact, Arkansas tight end commit Luke Hasz even called on Razorback Twitter to help with his recruitment of the top quarterback.

Now, I'm certainly not expecting Arkansas to remain fully invested in Rashada now that they landed one of their top targets in the class, but after going QB-less in 2022, I'm not sure Kendal Briles would turn down the prospect of two nationally-regarded signal-callers in one cycle.
