Arkansas DL target Vernon Broughton nears decision

FAYETTEVILLE — With his five official visits and a family reunion out of the way, Houston (Texas) Cy Ridge defensive lineman Vernon Broughton is now at The Opening in Frisco, Texas, and looking at making his college decision soon.

Broughton (6-5, 286), regarded as the nation’s 79-best prospect in the 2020 class, according to ESPN, has taken official visits to Arkansas, Ohio State, Texas, Texas A&M and LSU this spring and summer.

“I think in about a week from now my mom and my grandmother are going to go to a nice restaurant, bring a notebook … and pencil and write down and see where I’m going,” Broughton said during a Tuesday afternoon interview session at The Star, the Dallas Cowboys’ state-of-the-art practice facility.
