update

Expect 2017 DE LaGaryonn Carson to get an offer before the day. He is loving Arkansas. He ran a 4.68 HH at his school.

RB Tre Nation of Leeds, Ala. loved his visit on Friday. His father loves this place. He has several offers.

Arkansas Baptist College has two of the best looking athletes here. CB Donnie Lee looks to to 6-1,200 while OLB LaDarius Daniels is 6-0, 207. Both are ripped. Arkansas wanted them to come up and work out.

2017 RB Dominque Williams of Parish Episcopal is a good looking athlete. His father played RB at Cal and he believes his son is better.

12:13 update

Highly recruited S Isaiah Simmons of Olathe North in Kansas ran a 4.37 at 6-3,207. Very good shot at an offer.

LB LaDarius Daniels had an unofficial 4.40 while CB Donnie Lee ran a 4.47.

DE Eli Hale of Fayetteville ran 4.77 and 4.78.

All times are handheld.

12:38 update

Ath BJ Edmonds of Mobile Ala. had a 4.30. Will likely work at LB today.

Heard Ft Smith Northside Ath Kiondre Thomas ran a 4.3 but don't know exact time. What he does in 1-on-1s will determine if he gets an offer or not.

12:39

Kiondre Thomas had a 4.38 by at least one stop watch.

2:21 update

The camp broke for lunch until 2:45.

B.J. Edmonds worked with the RBs not the LBs.

Brandon Norcross of Ashdown ran 4.46 and 4.48. He has definitely added upper body strength since last year. Big chested kid for a CB.

RB Tre Nation ran a 4.48.

2017 DL Damien McDonald, 6-2, 275of Helena- West Helena ran a 5.09.

TE Blake Williams arrived later and did drills. He'll test during the lunch break.

Ath Jon Johnson of Harmony Grove worked with the LBs and was one of the more impressive ones in the group during drills.

2018 RB Danny Smith of Vilonia ran a 4.63. Very nice looking kid that could pass for someone going into their senior season. Definitely one to keep an eye on.

As noted above, Isaiah Simmons rans a 4.37 in testing at 6-3, 207. He looks like a LB but plays safety. He's very long too. Would be interested in knowing his reach.

A source in Louisiana believes QB Danny Etling is probably headed to LSU after his visit.

Hearing 2017 OL Trey Smith is really liking Arkansas. He's a big fan of the coaching staff.

Hearing TE Grayson Gunter ran a 4.58.

2017 WR Jonathan Adams has been attending Arkansas' basketball camp and arrived during the testing session. I was hearing he was really impressive at the basketball camp.

update

2017 DL Lagaryonn Carson and TE Grayson Gunter have been offered.

5:51 update

QB Breylin Smith of Conway was offered a preferred walk-on spot after today's camp.

North Little Rock WR Tobia Enlow ran an unofficial 4.41. He had a great day and had made some very difficult catches.

Ath. Jon Johnson of Harmonty Grove reports times of 4.41 and 4.46. He looked very good at linebacker.

CB Kiondre Thomas said the Hogs will check his transcript and if that checks out an offer will be coming. He said he knows he's good to go academically.

9:17 update

Fayetteville FB Damani Carter, 6-0, 232 of Fayetteville has been offered as a preferred walk-on after today's camp. He said it's an honor to have the opportunity and he'll report for fall practice in August. He committed to Army but because of paperwork issues both parties have decided to part ways.
