FAYETTEVILLE — Four-star running back Ebony Jackson has changed his verbal commitment from Maryland to Arkansas.
Jackson (6-1, 210 pounds) of Marietta (Ga.) Cherokee was committed to Tennessee before pledging to the Terrapins last summer.
Arkansas coach Sam Pittman and his staff won him over during his official visit to Fayetteville over the weekend.
"The coaches truly do care,” Jackson said. “Like they said, when you commit to Arkansas, you're committing to the state of Arkansas and not just the school. That's cool to me."
National recruiting analyst Tom Lemming of CBS Sports Network rates Jackson a 4-star prospect.
