Diamond Hogs land top 10 overall prospect in class of 2022

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas’ 2022 baseball recruiting class has soared up the national rankings this summer.

The Razorbacks received another jolt Thursday night when infielder Jayson Jones of Denton (Texas) Braswell committed. Jones is the top prospect in Texas and No. 7 prospect nationally, according to Perfect Game.

Jones (6-2, 170 pounds) can play third base or shortstop. During the shortened 2020 season, Jones recorded 17 hits, 3 home runs and 14 RBI in 13 games for Braswell.

He has been one of the top players on the travel circuit this summer while playing for the Dallas Tigers.
