Linebacker Francis becomes Arkansas' 12th grid commit

FAYETTEVILLE — About this time last year, Arkansas went on a big run of landing recruits and it appears that could be about to happen again.

Knoxville, Tenn., West three-star linebacker Drew Francis (6-2, 200) committed to the Razorbacks late Saturday night with a decision expected soon from his teammate and defensive end Tyrese Edwards (6-2, 240).

“I just couldn’t wait any longer,” noted Francis, who becomes the 12th Arkansas pledge of the 2020 recruiting class.

Francis chose Arkansas over offers from Texas A&M, Vanderbilt, Purdue, Arizona, Memphis, Arkansas State and Western Kentucky while also drawing interest from Tennessee.
