FAYETTEVILLE — Bentonville receiver and Arkansas pledge Blair Irvin III reopened his recruitment Monday.

Irvin, 6-1 and 175 pounds, chose the Razorbacks over scholarship offers from Kansas State, Purdue, South Florida, Minnesota, UNLV and others in June.

Interim coach Bobby Petrino and the Hogs are now 2-7 after a 38-35 loss to Mississippi State on Saturday at Reynolds Razorback Stadium. The uncertainty of the coaching staff led Irvin to reopen.

“With the unknown of the program and staff I have to do what’s best for me and open up my recruitment,” he said.

A consensus 3-star recruit, Irvin made official visits to Arkansas and South Florida prior to committing to the Hogs.
