The NCAA dead period may be in effect, but the Arkansas football team is still making noise on the recruiting trail.
Buford (Ga.) 6-foot-5, 280-pound offensive lineman Ben Mubenga became the Razorbacks' 23rd commitment for the 2026 class, he announced Saturday on social media.
"The love in Fayetteville was unmatched," Mubenga told Rivals National Recruiting Analyst Sam Spiegelman.
"I knew I was going to Arkansas during my second day of the official visit," he detailed. "From the academics and the football there, the hospital ... everything felt right. It was exactly what I was looking for."
Also per Spiegelman, Arkansas pulled ahead of Florida State, Georgia Tech and NC State following the four-star prospect's official visit to Fayetteville on June 6. He initially announced that he would commit on July 7.
Along with the Razorbacks, Mubenga has also been offered by Auburn, LSU, Miami, Michigan, Missouri, Oregon and Texas A&M, among others.
Arkansas' 2026 class ranks 15th nationally following Mubenga's commitment. He is the fifth offensive lineman to jump on board, along with Bryce Gilmore, Ashley Walker, Hugh Smith and Tucker Young.
