Arkansas cornerbacks coach Mark Smith and safeties coach Ron Cooper are in constant contact with Kaiir Elam, one of the nation’s top cornerback prospects.
“Almost every day,” Elam said. “They’re recruiting me hard ever since they offered me.”
Elam, 6-2, 180 of North Palm Beach (Fla.) The Benjamin School, is ESPN’s No. 8 athlete and No. 70 overall prospect in the nation. The Hogs extended a scholarship offer on April 17 and have worked hard to land the elite prospect.
“It shows me how much they want me and shows not so much of a need, but a want,” Elam said.
