Gladewater, Texas, four-star wide receiver DJ Allen (5-11, 185) admits to being surprised about what the Arkansas football program had to offer on his official visit this weekend.
“It was good,” Allen said. “It was better than I expected it to be. The stadium was bigger than I thought and the locker room was nice. It’s just a beautiful place over here.”
Arkansas wide receivers coach Kenny Guiton is recruiting Allen, who is a four-sport standout in football, basketball, baseball and track and field.
“We’re getting along good,” Allen said of Guiton. “He’s a funny guy. We talk a lot.”
Allen has offers from Arkansas, USC, where he visited June 4-6, and Baylor, where he is set to visit June 25-27.
He is also considering offers from Auburn, Oklahoma State, Mississippi State, Michigan, TCU, SMU, Cincinnati, Colorado, UCF and other programs.
The Arkansas visit likely elevated the Razorbacks into the upper echelon of his suitors.
“It’ll probably be one of my top five schools,” Allen said. “I’m going to a TCU unofficial and then I’m going to Baylor next week on an official.”
Allen is in no hurry to make a decision.
“Taking my time,” Allen said.
