A previous relationship has Arkansas in the race for highly regarded junior college receiver Malik Heath, who’s looking to visit the Hogs soon.
The Razorbacks extended a scholarship offer to Heath on Tuesday.
“That was a big surprise to get them today,” Heath said. “I was really happy.”
Heath, 6-4, 210 pounds of Copiah-Lincoln Junior College in Mississippi, signed with Mississippi State in February, but learned in July he had to go to junior college.
He’s known Arkansas wide receivers graduate assistant Kelvin Bolden since the ninth grade.
“I know coach KB,” Heath said.
