Tight end Gragg: Will 'roll with' Hogs

Dumas tight end Will Gragg goes through drills during a scrimmage Tuesday, Aug. 26, 2014 in Carlisle.

— Arkansas landed another top instate prospect Tuesday when Dumas tight end Will Gragg orally committed to the Razorbacks.

Gragg, 6 foot 4, 247 pounds, who runs 4.8 seconds in the 40-yard dash, is considered among the top tight end prospects in the nation with scholarship offers from about 40 schools. He chose the Razorbacks over schools that included Alabama, Ole Miss, LSU, Texas and Oregon.

Gragg is the third tight end among the 2015 class to orally commit to Coach Bret Bielema's Razorbacks, joining Fayetteville's C.J. O'Grady and Austin Cantrell of Roland, Okla.

“After much deliberation, I have decided to roll with the Hogs,” Gragg said. “When I talked it over with my family, I prayed about it, and Coach B is just doing a great job with the tight ends with Hunter Henry and those guys, and you have talent like we do in the class of 2015 in the state of Arkansas, it is hard to pass up being with those guys and going up on the Hill.”

Gragg is Arkansas’ 14th oral commitment for the 2015 class. The Razorbacks have received oral commitments from eight of the nine in-state prospects they have offered.

Oral commitments are nonbinding.
