Arkansas linebacker commitment Derrick Graham said he's always been solid to the the Hogs, but the visit with defensive coordinator Robb Smith today reconfirmed his pledge.
Graham, 6-4, 225, 4.56 seconds in the 40-yard dash, of Wauchula ((Fla.) Hardee picked the Razorbacks over Florida and Mississippi State. Some of his other offers include Georgia Tech, Iowa State, Nebraska and South Florida.
He said Randy Shannon leaving made him want to know who would coach linebackers and Smith told him he would coach the linebackers if push came to shove. He said he was always sold on the Hogs.
They also discussed what he needs to do to report to Fayetteville in May.
Graham said Shannon will come visit with him on Saturday, but he said he's set on Arkansas.
