Arkansas Football Coaches Pull the Plug on Blue-Chip Legacy Recruit in 2026 Class

Arkansas football coach Sam Pittman got off to a quick start with his 2026 recruiting class.

The Head Hog already has two dozen commitments as the June official visit window comes to a close. That ties the Razorbacks for the seventh-most pledges in the country, and the second-most in the SEC behind Georgia.

Just three of those commitments are four-stars, according to 247Sports, with all the others rated as three-stars. The expectation was that as the Hogs continued to fill up the cupboard with those lower-ranked prospects, they would begin to narrow their focus and zero in on higher-ranked prospects to close out the class.
