It Looks Like Lane Kiffin May Have Just Stolen High 4-Star Recruit from Hogs
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – While Eric Musselman held court with the media over in Bud Walton Arena, Arkansas football was receiving a bit of bad news.
Shortly before 11 a.m., 4-star athlete Noreel White announced he no longer intends to be a Razorback.
While White says Arkansas will still be in consideration, the crystal balls on White have all flipped to Ole Miss, which is not nearly as far from his Biloxi area home. White originally committed to Florida State as a freshman, but flipped to Arkansas about five months ago.
That's when the heat really turned up. Programs like the Washington Huskies out of the Pac-12 started piling on offers. Fans who didn't follow the assistant coach shuffling this past winter were shocked to see White commit to the Razorbacks instead of sticking with an in-state school like Ole Miss or Mississippi State or head to LSU or Florida State.
However, White's most prolific production is on the defensive side of the ball. He reportedly finished last season with 55 tackles and three interceptions. Arkansas recently acquired its co-defensive coordinator, Marcus Woodson, from Florida St., so it's not too hard to follow the connection from Tallahassee to Fayetteville.
It's been a summer of flipping recruits for Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin. Just over a month ago, he flipped Seminoles quarterback recruit Austin Simmons to the Rebels. Now, it looks like Arkansas might have been next on the list of schools from which Kiffin intends to cherry pick.
