Arkansas consensus 4-star commitment Noreel White chose the Razorbacks because of co-defensive coordinator Marcus Woodson and the environment around the program.
White, 6-1, 170 pounds, of Ocean Springs (Miss.) St. Martin, picked Arkansas over Ole Miss, LSU, Mississippi State, Florida State, Auburn and other schools on March 13.
He will play cornerback in Fayetteville and could get touches at wide receiver.
“It was like a different experience to me,” White said of Arkansas. “It spoke volumes to me. The other colleges, I never met the whole coaching staff, like the interns. I met the whole intern staff, I met all the (graduate assistants), the assistant coaches, the head coach.
“I met every person on the Arkansas staff.”
He plans to graduate in December and enroll at Arkansas in January.
