Arkansas beat out Alabama and about 20 other schools for highly recruited offensive lineman Brian Wallace Jr. of St. Louis Christian Brothers College High.
Wallace, 6-6, 304 pounds, 5.2 seconds in the 40-yard dash, made his announcement Saturday during a live national broadcast of the U.S. Army All-American Game in San Antonio.
National recruiting analyst Tom Lemming of CBS Sports Network rates Wallace as a 4-star prospect and said he believes Wallace is one of the top linemen in the country.
“He’s a big-time guy,” said Lemming, who is entering his 36th year of covering national recruiting. “I thought he was a national recruit as soon as I saw him. That’s why I rated him a 4-star recruit. Great feet, he has the length with the quick hands, and he plays aggressively.”
