Jalin Barnett

Offensive lineman Jalin Barnett will be accompanied by his grandmother, Charlotte Burse on his official visit to Arkansas this weekend. His grandfather is unable to get away from the family business to make the trip.

Barnett, 6-4, 305 of Lawton, Okla, is considered the top offensive guard prospect in the nation and has more than 50 offers. He's set to arrive on Friday.

While there is no guarantee, three different sources feel good about Arkansas' chances of landing Barnett.

Forward Malik Dime, 6-10, 220 pounds of Indian Hills Community College in Iowa will also arrive on Friday for his official visit. He has visited Iowa State and Rutgers. He plans to visit Washington after the Hogs.

Offensive line commit Colton Jackson of Conway graded out at 85 percent and had 2 pancake blocks and allowed no sacks.

Arkansas will know today if safety Kylan Johnson of Dallas Skyline will be able to make Saturday's game against Northern Illinois for an unofficial visit.
