Running back Dyer-Jones commits to Hogs as a PWO

Little Rock Christian running back Jayvean Dyer-Jones accepted a preferred walk-on offer and committed to Arkansas after visiting Fayetteville on Saturday.

Running backs coach Jimmy Smith extended the offer.

“I’m really excited," Dyer-Jones said. "I’m thankful for the opportunity."

Dyer-Jones, 5-9, 195 pounds, chose the Razorbacks over interest from Arkansas State, Louisiana Tech and others.

Little Rock Christian Coach Eric Cohu is high on Dyer-Jones’ ability.

“He is a strong, fast, determined and physical runner,” Cohu said in an earlier interview. “He’s one of the strongest guys in the weight room. He’s a thick guy, but it’s solid muscle.
