Arkansas has landed one of the nation’s top junior college defensive linemen with the signature of Jalen Williams.

Williams, 6-3, 310 pounds, of Jones (Miss.) College chose the Hogs over offers from Florida State, Georgia, Ole Miss, Colorado, Memphis, Duke, Washington State and others.

He was recruited by Arkansas defensive line coach Derrick LeBlanc.

“They're always letting me know how badly they want me to come down and how they care about me as a person also, not just as a player," Williams said in an earlier interview, "and thats something I appreciate.

“(LeBlanc) a very real down-to-earth person that's gonna be for real with you and make sure you do what's best for you.
