Hogs offer Tennessee commit, may visit Arkansas

Arkansas offered senior athlete Darion Williamson on Friday and the Tennessee commitment could be visiting Fayetteville the last weekend in January.

Williamson, 6-3, 195 pounds, of Brownsville (Tenn.) Haywood, pledged to the Volunteers last July, but has plans to visit Florida State on Jan. 24. He said a Jan. 31 trip to Arkansas is possible.

Former Tennessee running backs coach David Johnson joined Mike Norvell's staff at Florida State and is the lead recruiter of Williamson. Haywood coach Chris Smith calls him one of the best he’s coached.

“I say some of things that separates him from other receivers will be his explosiveness,” Smith said.
