Sources said Arkansas' in-home visit with North Little Rock and Razorback receiver commitment K.J. Hill on Thursday evening went well.

Hill will officially visit Alabama this weekend and Arkansas Jan. 23.

Arkansas defensive backs coach Clay Jennings made an in-home visit with highly recruited cornerback Holton Hill on Thursday night.

Hill, 6-2, 185 of Houston Lamar is rated the No. 14 cornerback and the No. 152 overall prospect in the nation by ESPN.

Jennings recruited him while at TCU.

Cornerback Nate Dalton of Houston Cypress Falls will be accompanied by his uncle, Ron Mulkey, aunt Jordan and cousin Shaletha on his official visit to Arkansas this weekend. They're set to arrive Friday afternoon.

Miami Norland linebacker Rayshad Jackson arrived in Fayetteville about 5:30 pm Thursday with his parents, Rayshad Jackson IV and Brenda Jackson for his official visit.

Offensive tackle Toby Weathersby of Houston Westfield appears to be making his official visit by himself.

As reported in Thursday's tidbits, Miami American cornerback Jeremiah Dinson said his meeting with defensive backs coach Clay Jennings went good. He called Jennings a good dude and said he was real funny.

Dinson said if he decides to go, he might take an official visit to Fayetteville Jan. 30.

Also reported earlier, safety Reid Miller of IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. will report to Arkansas today.

North Carolina State defensive end Jabari Zuniga is the prospect that was being kept silent, but now that his name has been made public and it can be revealed that he'll officially visit the Hogs Jan. 23.

Zuniga, 6-3, 260, 4.8 seconds in the 40-yard dash, of Marietta (Ga.) Sprayberry has approximately 20 scholarship offers, including Arkansas, Minnesota, Kansas State, Iowa State, Illinois, North Carolina State and Arkansas State.

Initially, he told Arkansas he would not visit after his pledge to the WolfPack, but defensive line coach Rory Segrest stayed on him and was able to get the visit. Segrest visited with him on Thursday. He's officially visiting Florida this weekend.

He played basketball until giving football a try as a junior. From a Nov. 18 story:

"He has great lateral speed that I think he developed playing basketball as well as some vertical speed to get up field and get after you,” said Sprayberry quarterback coach Coleman Joiner.

“Because he hasn’t play football for very long, he hasn’t been in the weight room much,” Joiner said. “But you can tell he’s a naturally strong kid, but he was definitely a guy teams had to double and triple team him.”

Arkansas 2016 linebacker target Jordan Carmouche of Manvel, Texas received an offer from SMU today. He also has offers from Arkansas, Houston and Northwestern.
