Chase Hayden

Highly regarded running back Chase Hayden said Arkansas is his favorite after visiting today.

Hayden, 5-11, 185 pounds, 4.47 seconds in the 40-yard dash, of Collierville (Tenn.) St. George's Independent School, has scholarship offers from Arkansas, Tennessee, Michigan, South Carolina, Missouri, Louisville, Arizona and others.

He said the visit was probably his best so far. He said conversations with Coach Bret Bielema and strength and conditioning coach Ben Herbert were the highlights of the trip.

Hayden also said the people at Arkansas are genuine and it's like a big family. He'll visit Missouri Friday and is looking to visit Michigan and Florida. He plans to announce his decision at the end of July.
