Former Texas offensive lineman Jake Raulerson announced on Twitter that he'll play his remaining two years at Arkansas.

Raulerson, 6-5, 295 pounds, also considered Michigan, Stanford, North Carolina, SMU and others. He had planned to attend UCLA, but wasn't accepted into the university's business school.

He officially visited Fayetteville last Thursday through Saturday. He plans to report to Fayetteville on Sunday and will have immediate eligibility.

Raulerson started five games as a redshirt freshman. He didn't play much this past season, but was expected to be the starter at center for the Longhorns in the upcoming season.

ESPN rated him the No. 9 offensive tackle and No. 113 overall prospect in the nation in 2013. He visited the Razorbacks for the Troy game in 2011. He announced in December his plans to be a graduate transfer and pursue a graduate degree in business.

Raulerson played at Celina High School in Texas before inking with the Longhorns.
