Loyalty was a big reason why University of Arkansas defensive end commitment Jashaud Stewart remained in the fold after the firing of former coach Chad Morris.
Stewart signed with the Razorbacks on Wednesday, the opening of the three-day early signing period.
"I just stayed loyal and wanted to stay in state, and try and help the program get it rolling again," Stewart said.
Stewart, 6-2, 224 pounds, of Jonesboro committed to the Hogs over scholarship offers from Houston, SMU, Kansas, Arkansas State University, Memphis and others in March.
He was the first prospect to receive an in-home visit from Coach Sam Pittman on Dec.
