Texarkana catcher commits to play for Razorbacks

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas added a baseball commitment Tuesday from a Texarkana catcher.

Ty Waid (6-1, 200 pounds) from Arkansas High School committed on the same day he received an offer from Razorbacks assistant coach Nate Thompson. Waid had also received interest from Texas A&M and Arkansas-Little Rock.

"Growing up I've been a huge Razorback fan, so it's always been my dream school to go play for (Coach Dave) Van Horn and be a Razorback," Waid said. "I already had my decision made, pretty much, on where I wanted to go."

Waid's father, Billy, played for Van Horn at Texarkana College from 1990-92.
