The University of Arkansas is out in front of the competition in an effort to land junior offensive lineman Chris Morris.
Morris, 6-4, 280 pounds, of Memphis Freedom Prep Academy has scholarship offers from Arkansas, Texas A&M, LSU, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Penn State, Alabama, Florida, Georgia and others.
He said the Hogs lead for him because of their coaches.
"Basically, because I've built a relationship with the coaches and staff," Morris said. "Because of the communication, we talk often, joke a lot, play games."
Morris said Arkansas is unique in their recruiting of him. He communicates with Coach Chad Morris, offensive line coach Dustin Fry, special assistant Sean Tuohy and several others.
