A Closer Look at Arkansas's 2020 Defensive Back Offers
The Arkansas Razorbacks staff has offered 22 defensive backs in the 2020 class early and 17 of them remain uncommitted while 3-star Louisiana corner Jamie Vance committed to Arkansas on February 26. 4-star defensive back Malachi Moore and 3-star Jahquez Robinson are committed to Alabama, 4-star defensive back Josh Moten is committed to Penn State and 4-star defensive back Jaylon Jones is committed to Texas A&M. Check out the latest in the remaining prospects' recruitments:
The 6-foot corner is the fourth highest ranked in the nation at his position and the fourth best player in the state of Texas according to Rivals. Mickens holds 25 offers from some of the best schools in the nation. He has a solid relationship with Arkansas's Coach Smith and has already taken an unofficial visit but getting him back on the Hill will be tough, we'll see if the Hogs can pull it off this spring. Clemson appears to be an early leader for the borderline 5-star. He told Rivals really wants to visit Clemson, Notre Dame, and Alabama again. Expect a short list of about 10 schools from Mickens prior to spring practice.
TOP OFFERS: Arkansas, A&M, Georgia, South Carolina, Clemson, Oregon
CHANCES TO LAND: Low
Offered by the Razorbacks this summer, Vito Tisdale is the top player in the state of Kentucky and he's no. 60 in the Rivals100. Since his Arkansas offer he's picked up a lot of steam in his recruitment and a lot of schools want to pull this kid out of Kentucky. Oklahoma, LSU, Alabama, Clemson, Penn State and Texas A&M are at the top of his list to get official visits. He's already visited Louisville and Kentucky several times so no need for an official.
TOP OFFERS: Arkansas, Louisville, LSU, Ole Miss, Kentucky, Alabama, Oklahoma
CHANCES TO LAND: Low
This 2020 stud is one of the top prospects out of the Dallas area in 2020, and one of the top prospects in the nation. He has the Hogs in his top 3 with A&M and LSU but his recruitment is "still open" and he's taken visits to TCU and Baylor since the end of his junior season. He was planning to get on the Hill in January but is now aiming for a March visit date. Johnson is considered an A&M lean right now and after adding new offers he plans to open his list back up.
TOP OFFERS: Arkansas, LSU, A&M, Alabama, Auburn
CHANCES TO LAND: Good
