Arkansas adds 4-star linebacker JJ Bush

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas continues to add to the Class of 2026 with a commitment from Theodore (Ala.) 4-star linebacker Jaden “JJ” Bush.

Bush, 6-3, 210, committed to the Razorbacks on Tuesday over LSU, Missouri, Cincinnati and 25 other offers. Bush adds to Travis Williams’ linebacker room. It comes one year to the day after Williams landed 4-star Tavion Wallace in the Class of 2025. Bush enjoyed the official visit to Arkansas the June 20-22 weekend.

“It was great coming to Fayetteville for the third time in my recruiting process,” Bush said. “I like the people around here. The players get along. It’s a culture of banding together. It’s small town just like Mobile, but it’s better than Mobile. Like everybody comes together as a whole and as a family outside of football so I like that. Inside of football, the coaches are going to make sure your straight. It’s just like a brotherhood and like a father figure and mentor.”

Bush added more from the highlight of the official visit.

“Just going to the position meeting,” Bush said. “As I talked to T-Will he didn’t show any highlights. He showed me what I could do better and what I need to work on during my senior season. So it was great.”

Bush took his official visit the weekend of May 30. He then was at LSU on June 13 weekend before finishing up at Arkansas.
