Inside Arkansas’ Push for Elite Playmakers on Recruiting Trail

In this story:
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas’ push for offensive skill talent took center stage this weekend as multiple 4-star receivers and a priority in-state running back headlined a loaded visitor list.
The group included prospects at multiple positions, many of whom hold offers from SEC and other Power Four programs. With six players onboard, these visits allowed Arkansas coaches to continue building relationships ahead of official visit season that begins next month.
Dante Seals, EDGE rusher
One productive pass rusher with a quality offer list is 2027 prospect Dante Seals, an unranked prospect out of Alabama. He has fielded offers from Arkansas, Ole Miss, FSU, Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi State and others.
He attends Hewitt-Trussville HS in the Yellowhammer State and is coached by former record-setting Springdale QB Josh Floyd, who served at Shiloh Christian until 2014.
I’m excited to be back @RazorbackFB this Saturday for a Spring Practice Visit‼️ #WPS🐗 #Razorbacks

"The visit to Arkansas went well," Blake said. "Coach [Johnson] was a chill guy. He was more laid back that I though Power Four running back coaches would be."
As far as Blake's recruitment goes, he is starting to hear from a handful of schools. His decision to visit the Razorbacks this weekend could be the nudge he needs for scholarship offers to trickle in.
