Class of 2025 defensive lineman Carius Curne

Carius Curne, a 4-star offensive and defensive lineman from Marion, has reopened his recruitment after being committed to Arkansas since Feb. 7.

Curne, 6-5 and 300 pounds, chose the Razorbacks over scholarship offers from Georgia, Ole Miss, Missouri, LSU, Louisville, Florida, Tennessee, Mississippi State and other programs. 

"I have decided to de-commit from the University of Arkansas," Curne wrote in a social media post. "I have the utmost respect for the coaching staff and appreciate their hard work during my recruitment. I hope that everyone will respect my decision as I attempt to do what is best for me and my family."

Arkansas was the first Power 5 program to offer Curne in June 2023. He visited Fayetteville for the Jan. 27 Junior Day. 

The Razorbacks are recruiting him to play either side of the ball. 

He was the highest-rated prospect committed to Arkansas in the 2025 class. On3.com rates him the No. 5 interior offensive lineman and the No. 85 overall recruit, and the No. 1 prospect in Arkansas.
