Arkansas got in the race on Jan. 30, and he took an unofficial visit to the Hill for a Prospect Day on March 8.

The 6-foot-1, 180-pound defensive back finished his junior campaign with 116 total tackles and nine tackles for loss.

In coverage, Overton is fundamentally sound and is quick to the ball. He picked off three passes in 10 games for Williamson High School and deflected 19 total passes.

With Overton’s commitment, Arkansas now has five total in the class of 2025 and two on the defensive side of the football. Be sure to follow along at The Trough premium message board for updates on all the Razorbacks' offseason action.
