ESPN 4-star prospect and Arkansas offensive line commitment Luke Brown said he is confident he picked the right school after visiting the Razorbacks for their game against then-No. 2 Alabama last Saturday.
"The visit was good," said Brown, who had 69 pancake blocks going into last week’s game. "The atmosphere was amazing regardless of the outcome. The team didn’t quit, and neither did the fans.
"I believe I picked the right place to call home."
Brown, 6-6, 312 pounds, of Paris (Tenn.) Henry County, picked the Razorbacks in April over 27 other scholarship offers from schools such as Georgia, Auburn, Louisville, Vanderbilt, Ole Miss, Florida State, Tennessee and Mississippi State.
Sophomore linebacker Parker Meese was in Fayetteville and attended his first college game last Saturday. He wasn’t disappointed.
"I had a great time," Meese said. "The energy in the stadium was insane. I thought the linebackers played great.
"The talent level of other recruits there was top notch, and Coach (Sam) Pittman talking about it really made me feel great about where the future of their program is headed."
Meese, 6-2, 218 pounds, of Parish Episcopal High School in Dallas, has scholarship offers from Arkansas, Arizona State, Syracuse, Virginia Tech, North Carolina, Missouri, BYU, Boston College and other schools.
