Tight end Ravian Pierce, 6-4, 230, 4.53 of Plantation, Florida has narrowed his 27 offers down to Arkansas, Florida and Alabama. He said he has an aunt and uncle who live in Little Rock and they want him to be a Razorback. He's being recruited by defensive line coach Charlie Partridge, who's a Planation graduate. He said he ran his 40 time of 4.53 seconds today at school.

Pierce said he and Hog running back Alex Collins are good friends.

Clemson is showing interest in sophomore athlete Denzel Mitchell of Jonesboro. The Tigers want to see a game and an offer is a good possibility if he performs well. He weighed in at 198 pounds today on his 6-foot frame.

Mitchell ran a 4.41 time in the 40 at the Arkansas Elite Prospect Camp in July. He has offers from Arkansas State and Ole Miss.
