Three Recruits Who Could be Next to Commit to Arkansas?

Now that QB KJ Jefferson has committed to Arkansas, who are the next three recruits most likely to commit to the Hogs?

1. DE Mataio Soli - Douglasville (Ga.) Douglas County

The Arkansas legacy is not necessarily enamored with the recruiting process, but he has strong ties to the program. He has an impressive national-level offer list, but the Hogs remain in a strong position. His father Junior Soli was at Arkansas from 1992-95. A decision timeline has not been announced, but he is the type of recruit who could end it at any time.

2. Trevor Roberson - Wellington (Texas)

This one is and should be debated a bit more intensely as the West Texas mammoth does have offers to stay in-state and play at schools like TCU, Texas A&M or Texas Tech, but Arkansas has done a tremendous job at building this relationship up and showing the proper amount of love and attention, making Roberson feel like he is a priority in the class. Roberson has already used his official visit, but may make a return trip soon. If he does make the trip he should be on commit watch.

3. Carl Williams - Lufkin (Texas)

Williams is set to make his official visit in early June, so we have him on commitment watch as a result, because Arkansas already sits in a good spot for his services. There are a few other recruits who might be as likely or even more likely, but timing wise there is a chance that this one could go down sooner than the rest, so for now we give he third and final spot to Williams.

Other Names to Note: WR Shamar Nash, TE Hudson Henry, DE Collin Clay, DE Zach Williams
