Former Georgia Tech defensive end Jordan Domineck committed to Arkansas on Monday, one day after ending his official visit in Fayetteville.
Domineck, 6-3, 253 pounds, chose Arkansas over Auburn, Iowa State, Nebraska, Penn State, Kansas State, Central Florida, South Florida and other programs that showed interest after he announced his plans to transfer Feb. 19.
He is expected to be eligible for the Razorbacks in the 2022 season. He plans to enroll later this year for the first semester of summer school and will have up to two seasons of eligibility remaining.
“It was just the right place at the right time for me,” Domineck said. “The coaches were so accommodating and inviting and made it seem like home. I know it is the place I need to be.
“I am looking forward to getting there in May and getting to work. I know this is going to be a great decision I have made.”
He recorded 38 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles and 1 deflected pass while starting 8 games and playing 12 as a junior.
As a redshirt sophomore, he recorded a 15.2% pressure rate, according to ESPN. That figure ranked eighth among defensive players at Power 5 schools.
He is the sixth scholarship player to announce a transfer to Arkansas this offseason. Other transfers include former Georgia defensive back Latavious Brini; LSU defensive lineman Landon Jackson and cornerback Dwight McGlothern; receiver Jadon Haselwood from Oklahoma; and linebacker Drew Sanders from Alabama.
Brini, Jackson, McGlothern, Haselwood and Sanders enrolled in January and will go through spring practice with the Razorbacks beginning Sunday.
Arkansas has also added walk-on transfer quarterback Cade Fortin from South Florida.
