Odom plays key role recruiting LB

University of Arkansas defensive coordinator Barry Odom's prior relationship with linebacker Jermaine Hamilton-Jordan is helping the Hogs get an upcoming visit.

Hamilton-Jordan, 6-0, 203 pounds, of Kansas City Lincoln College Prep was being evaluated by Odom while at Missouri, and that led to the Razorbacks extending a scholarship offer to him on Jan. 21.

He plans to make an unofficial visit to Fayetteville on March 7.

"He's excited to get me down," Hamilton-Jordan said. "Now that he's at Arkansas, he's really excited about me. We even talked about a potential official visit coming up soon. I may just take my first one there, but I'm still thinking about it.
