The 2026 recruiting class is unraveling quickly in the wake of defensive coordinator Travis Williams’ dismissal. Just hours after the news broke, Arkansas lost pledges from linebacker Caleb Gordon and its top remaining commit, linebacker JJ Bush.
They join wide receiver Keymian Henderson Jr., who backed out after Sam Pittman’s firing on Sunday. In total, Arkansas has now seen six decommitments since September, including its highest-ranked overall pledge, offensive tackle Bryce Gilmore.
