FAYETTEVILLE -- Since arriving in Fayetteville, University of Arkansas associate head coach and running backs coach Jeff Traylor drastically has improved recruiting in east Texas.
The Razorbacks signed two prospects from east Texas in the 2019 class, and they have four commitments from the area for the 2020 class. Traylor also was the lead recruiter for four other Hogs on the roster.
Arkansas hosted two of the best east Texas prospects in the 2021 class for the Fall Kickoff Cookout on Friday. Defensive end Landon Jackson of Texarkana (Texas) Pleasant Grove and linebacker Clayton Smith of Texarkana (Texas) High School, made their way to Fayetteville along with about 25 other prospects for the cookout.
