FAYETTEVILLE — Twenty-three players — several of whom have never visited the University of Arkansas campus — signed to play football for the Razorbacks on Wednesday during the first day of the early national signing period for the high school class of 2021.
Arkansas’ signing class includes 21 high school players, one Division I transfer and one transfer from a junior college. The Razorbacks’ class ranks 20th nationally, according to a composite ranking by 247Sports, and eighth in the SEC behind Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Florida, Texas A&M, Tennessee and Ole Miss.
The class is headlined by five players who have 4-star status in at least one national recruiting database — receiver Ketron Jackson of Royse City, Texas; quarterback Lucas Coley of Cornerstone Christian in San Antonio; Oklahoma running backs AJ Green of Tulsa Union and Javion Hunt of Midwest City Carl Albert; and Raheim “Rocket” Sanders from Rockledge, Fla.
