Major lineman target has Hogs in top 4

Four-star target Markis Deal has Arkansas in his top four schools.

Markis Deal, 6-6, 290 pounds, of Garland (Texas) Naaman Forest, told Jason Howell of TexAgs.com that Arkansas, TCU, Southern Cal and Georgia make up his current top schools.

He has more than 30 scholarship offers from programs such as Arkansas, Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Michigan, Colorado and Michigan State.

ESPN rates him a 4-star recruit, the No. 21 offensive tackle and No. 216 overall prospect in the nation in the 2023 class. Deal wants to play on the defensive line in college.

Deal visited for Arkansas’ first spring practice on March 13 and returned two days later for a roughly six-hour visit.
