Arkansas’ Prospect Day Saturday should be outstanding

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas will hold its third Prospect Day on Saturday and this one could be the best of the month.

A lot of talent is heading to Fayetteville, but the linemen, on both sides of the ball, is an outstanding group with a lot of impressive offers. The recruits known to be visiting are from the Class of 2025, 2026 and 2027. Visitors will include both in-state and out-of-state prospects.

In 2025, Marion four-star two-way lineman Carius Curne, 6-4, 305, Curne earned an offer from Arkansas following a camp last summer. Some schools are recruiting him for defense while others prefer him on offense. In addition to Arkansas, Curne holds SEC offers from Georgia, Tennessee, LSU, Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Missouri. Keeping Curne at home has to be a priority for the Razorbacks.

An offensive lineman from outside the state is Carthage (Texas) three-star Kash Courtney, 6-4, 265. Courtney committed to Baylor and Eric Mateos on Oct. 29. But when Mateos left Waco for Arkansas then Courney has opted to visit Fayetteville. Mateos and the Hogs are hoping to flip Courtney.

Coffeyville (Kan.) Field Kindley Class of 2025 offensive lineman Kelton Jones, 6-4, 315, holds an offer from Penn State among others. Jones could be one to watch for a new offer from the Hogs on Saturday. Florence (Ala.) Mars Hill Bible School Class of 2025 tight end Cannon Pigg, 6-4, 245, certainly has the name to be a Razorback. Kentucky and Southern Miss have offered.

Lake Cormarant (Miss.) Class of 2025 athlete Jarcoby Hopson, 6-1, 205, is a four-star recruit. Arkansas as well as many others from both the SEC and other conferences have offered him.
