A few big names

Though the regular season may be over for the Razorbacks, recruiting season is just kicking into gear. There are two pretty big names to look out for while they take their official visits this weekend (Dec. 3-5).

First off is 2022 three-star WR target - and one of the last prospects I’d expect to be added into this ‘22 group - Sam M’Bake. Out of North Cobb (Ga.), M’Bake was in town earlier this year for the Razorbacks’ homecoming game against Auburn.

The staff will have their work cut out for them as M’Bake’s offer sheet holds some heavyweights. Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Ole Miss and USC are joined by 23 other FBS offers, making this a huge opportunity for Sam Pittman’s group.


Thankfully, those efforts should be aided by 2022 running back commitment James Jointer Jr. Jointer has been to a handful of games already this season as he’s from Little Rock, and has been vocal on Twitter about using his influence on the high-three star.

As well as those two guys, there are some serious names rumored to be making the trek over to Fayetteville this weekend for "secret" visits as a result of some recent shifts within the college football landscape.

Coaches on the road

With those officials coming up, it’s important to note that the Razorback coaches were on the road this week for some in-home trips. Here were some of the notable locations from the staff -

New Offers

PWO Commitment

The hot streak stays hot for the Razorbacks in terms of bringing in talent. This most recent addition comes in the form of 2022 two-star Ethan Joeseph.

Joesph committed to Air Force back in June, but is now all Hog roughly 16 hours after decommitting from the Falcons. Hutch was able to catch up with the preferred walk-on last week for some insight into his recruitment to Arkansas.
