It's very unlikely that Utah linebacker-defensive end Porter Gustin makes an official visit to Arkansas. He had dental surgery in December and that knocked him out of taking two trips during the month. He plans visits for USC, Arizona State and Ohio State in Jan.

If he was able to take visits in Dec., I feel confident he would've taken a trip to Fayetteville.
