Recruits react to Hogs and Aggies

Arkansas commitments and prospects react to the Hogs' heartbreaking 35-28 loss to Texas A&M.

P commit Blake Johnson

"I thought we played lights out until the 4th. Thought the defense held up their end and played very well and against a team like A&M, thats saying something. Offensively just gotta keep dominating teams with that run game. Sam's fake punt was the highlight of my day, especially because I'm a punter. I think that even though we lost it showed everyone how far Arkansas has come as a program and how good and dangerous of a team we are. Just gotta keep our moral up and keep playing smash mouth Arkansas football".

DL commit Hjalte Froholdt

"I think it was an awesome game. We had them in our palm the whole game. Defense showed up, offense produced on the ground and in the air. The one touchdown and the long run who got called back because of penalties, would have sealed the deal. I'm so impressed by how they came into the game with so much energy and just punched the number six team in the nation. I'm really impressed, just too bad we couldn't execute when we had to."

Waco Midway S Kahlil Haughton

"I was very impressed with the way Arkansas played a top ten team. I honestly thought they should've won that easily, but just had a couple costly penalties and gave up a couple of big plays towards the end. Overall though, it definitely showed Arkansas's potential and the direction they're heading in now."

Dallas Skyline DL Zach Abercrumbia

"I thought that Arkansas played an impressive game. The running game was unstoppable and the defense held up early. Aside from the leg kick from the O-lineman and a few questionable penalties or no-calls from the refs, I thought Arkansas would finally break that SEC losing streak. But, all in all I think the Razorbacks will bounce back and have an impressive season."

OL commit Zach Rogers

It was a tough loss but it's a different team right now than it was a year ago. Offensively, they looked pretty good, it was nice to see the offensive line continue to be a dominant force. The fake punt was a gutsy call and it was huge. Wish the result would have been a little different but it was a good game."

Pulaski Robinson junior RB/WR T.J. Hammonds

"I thought they played great. offensively and defensively, but they didn't finish it. But it's something to grow on and get better from.I enjoyed watching the game. It was great."

QB commit Ty Storey

"I thought we were the better team for three and half quarters, we just have to finish. I think that will come. We just have to keep improving and we will learn how to finish those kind of games."

Miami Gulliver Prep S Antonyo Sotolongo

"It was a really good game untill the end. The Razorbacks fought hard."

Hope junior DE McTelvin Agim

"I thought Arkansas had them, just didn't finish it and as they grow as a team I think they will get better with that."

RB commit Rawleigh Williams

"That was a tough lost, we should've won. But it shows that this isn't last year and we can compete with anyone."

Ponchatoula (La.) DE Reggie Walker

"I thought it was a great game all the way through and Arkansas should won it in OT."
