Prior relationships put Ball in Arkansas' court

Prior relationships with University of Arkansas Coach Sam Pittman and running backs coach Jimmy Smith have defensive lineman Cameron Ball planning to visit the Hogs.

He calls the Razorbacks one of his top priorities.

"Just because of the coaching staff and the environment," Ball said. "When Coach Pittman was at Georgia, he was recruiting me. Now that he's the head coach at Arkansas, he has taken his interest in me with him. That's cool."

Ball, 6-5, 295 pounds, of East Point (Ga.) Tri-Cities has 24 scholarship offers from schools such as Arkansas, Arizona State, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, Michigan State, Mississippi State and others.
