Hogs hosting pair of transfers on Wednesday

FAYETTEVILLE — A former standout at Marion High School and talented linebacker from Louisville are set to take an official visit to Arkansas on Wednesday.

Former Utah State and Arkansas State linebacker-safety Anthony Switzer, 6-0, 210, and Louisville linebacker Jaylin Alderman, 6-1, 230, are both on Arkansas’ list of hopefuls. Switzer played at Marion and then for Arkansas State from 2019-21. He transferred to Utah State after that.

In 2023 at Utah State, Switzer, who can play safety or linebacker, had 85 tackles, 39 solo, eight for loss, three sacks, one interception, four pass breakups, five quarterback hurries and a fumble recovery as a redshirt junior. Switzer redshirted in 2022 missing the entire season due to injury.

Alderman had a very good season as well in 2023. He finished with 62 tackles, including 31 solo, in 14 games. He also had seven tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, and two pass breakups. He played high school football at Valdosta (Ga.).

Arkansas has eight scholarships remaining for 2024. They have had five players enter the transfer portal since it reopened in April and two recruits added to the class.
