Kicking off his recruitment early as a 6-foot-6 freshman with an offer from Alabama, E'Marion Harris quickly moved up the rankings into the top 250 nationally and became the No. 1-ranked player in the Natural State. A Razorback legacy, all signs pointed to the offensive tackle picking Arkansas and that's what he did on Mother's Day, giving the Hogs a 10th commitment and 7th in-state commit.

Despite making an early pledge to Florida State, Clarendon native Quincey McAdoo couldn't resist staying close to home and playing for the Razorbacks. The 4-star is listed as an athlete due to his two-way versatility but he's recruited as a wide receiver–Kenny Guiton's first pickup on the Hill.

On Jan. 25, Rowser listed a top eight that included the likes of Alabama and Michigan. A day later he received the offer from Arkansas, and when Rowser trimmed his list to four earlier this month the Razorbacks made the cut. He talked up his relationship with head coach Sam Pittman and his respect for cornerbacks coach Sam Carter. Although he has never visited the campus, a virtual visit gave Rowser a strong, positive impression of Fayetteville. Rowser is Arkansas's first commit from Michigan and the highest-rated commit since McTelvin Agim in 2016.
