Hot Springs Lakeside running back Braylen Russell (27) is tackled by Sheridan's Wesley Shumate during a game Friday, Sept. 3, 2021, in Hot Springs.

Arkansas’ first 2024 commitment got a chance to visit his future home again over the weekend.

Hot Springs Lakeside tailback Braylen Russell (6-2, 225) was in Fayetteville on Saturday as part of the Razorbacks’ second of three Junior Days this month.

Arkansas was No. 1 last season among Power 5 teams in rushing at 227.8 yards per game.

That and the fact the Razorbacks use multiple backs are positives to Russell, whose coach is former Arkansas quarterback Jared McBride.
