Edwards visit update

Deon Edwards

Hard hitting safety Deon Edwards called his official visit to Arkansas great.

He enjoyed getting to know fullback commitment Hayden Johnson and running back Devwah Whaley.

Edwards, 6-1, 195 pounds, of Clermont (Fla.) Lake Minneola pledged to Arkansas on July 29 over scholarship offers from schools like South Carolina, Missouri, Louisville, North Carolina State and South Florida. He said the Hog fans are amazing. He said the fans were a big part of him choosing to be a Razorback.

He was hosted by freshman defensive lineman T.J Smith and said Smith was like a big brother. Edwards told him he was afraid to leave Florida and Smith replied he loved Arkansas so much he never wants to go back home to Georgia. That also reassured him.
