Malvern freshman offensive lineman Vinny Winters became the first 2024 in-state prospect to receive an offer from Arkansas on Monday.
Winters, 6-4, 288 pounds, had an offer from Memphis before getting the offer from the Razorbacks.
“It means a lot coming from the home state and (Coach) Sam Pittman,” Winters said. “I’m looking forward to see what the future holds and what happens. I love it and go Hogs.”
He was moved to varsity in Week 7 from the junior high team that won the 7-4A conference title.
Leopards coach J.D. Plumlee said in December he expects Winters to be 300-plus pounds as a sophomore after going through the offseason.
