Hogs make cut for 4-star Texas defender

Arkansas made the top six for ESPN 4-star defensive end Landyn Watson.

Watson, 6-3, 230 pounds, of Hutto, Texas, narrowed his list to Arkansas, Arizona State, Tennessee, California, Virginia Tech and TCU. Tight ends coach Jon Cooper and defensive line coach Derrick LeBlanc are recruiting him.

"They are doing a really good job recruiting me, (staying in) communication with me and my family," Watson said.

Watson planned to attend Arkansas' Red-White game on April 25 before the NCAA implemented a dead period on March 13.

As a junior, Watson recorded 49 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, 7 sacks, 21 quarterback hurries, 4 recovered fumbles, 2 forced fumbles and 4 pass breakups for Hutto, which is 25 miles northeast of Austin.
