Arkansas lands Caleb Gordon for linebacker spot

FAYETTEVILLE — Gastonia (N.C.) Ashbrook three-star linebacker Caleb Gordon has committed to Arkansas following a weekend official visit.

The speedy Gordon, 6-0, 218, had a very good 2024 junior season. Gordon finished with 141 tackles, 49 solo, eight for loss, four sacks, two interceptions, a pair of fumble recoveries and one forced fumble.

Gordon was one of eight recruits on official visits. The visit helped him make his decision.

“The visit was great, I loved everything about it,” Gordon said. “From the time I got here till the time I left, great coaches, great staff. Coach (Sam) Pittman, Coach T-Will (Travis Williams), I love everything he does here at Arkansas. Definitely looking forward to coming back.”

And coming back he will in the Class of 2026. He chose the Razorbacks over Pitt, East Carolina and others.
