Mangum's first-visit vibe led to Arkansas commitment

When Mason Mangum visited Arkansas on Feb. 10, that planted a seed in his mind about the Razorbacks toward his commitment after the spring game.

“Last time I came up I left with a great feeling about the school and couldn’t wait to come back up,” said Mangum, who received an offer from receivers coach Justin Stepp on March 28. “It was like everything fell into place and it was clear that this is the place for me.”

Mangum, 5-11, 171, 4.45 seconds in the 40-yard dash of Austin Westlake, picked the Razorbacks over scholarship offers from Illinois, Boston College, Tulane, Furman, Columbia and Louisiana-Lafayette.
