In other recruiting news, DL Armon Watts, 6-5, 270, 5.1 of St. Louis Christian Brothers College High said said he wants to set up an official visit to Arkansas very soon. He received an offer from the Razorbacks after attending the Elite Prospect camp.

Watts is also good friends with Arkansas CB prospect Raymond Wingo. He said he and Wingo communicated with each other on Tuesday. He said he's being recruited by graduate assistant Eric Mateos. Video highlights click here
Defensive end Chad Thomas, 6-5, 240 of Miami Washington recently committed to Miami. He said at The Opening there was good chance he would visit Arkansas because of linebacker coach Randy Shannon. After his commitment, he said he still plans to talk to Shannon but sounded pretty firm to the Hurricanes.
