Now that the Razorbacks' 2024 class is signed and mostly on campus, it's time to look ahead at the class of 2025.
Head coach Sam Pittman and the Hogs currently have four commitments in the class of 2025 — three of which are on the offensive side of the ball, and one kicker — and they're in on some more high-profile talent.
This board provides a one-stop shop to see who Arkansas currently has committed and who it's targeting.
It's still very early for the class of 2025, so don't be too alarmed if you see less-than-desirable star rankings. We'll learn more about the class after the coaching staff holds visits throughout the year.

— Look for Keylan LaGrant to take a visit this spring. The Hogs have been in contact, and they're working on a weekend to get him on campus. Right now, Boston College and West Virginia are the competition.
— Despite his commitment to Texas, I am leaving Lance Jackson on the board for now. The younger brother of Arkansas standout defensive end Landon Jackson looks Texas-bound but I'm not going to rule out a late flip if the Hogs get things turned around on the field.
— There's legitimate interest in Arkansas for Kobby Sakyi-Prah, who recorded 89 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, nine sacks and two forced fumbles last season. I'd look for a visit at some point soon.
— Brody Whatley has been getting a ton of interest from Baylor, and also has offers from Missouri, Tulane and several others in addition to Arkansas. He did take a visit the weekend of Sept. 16 when the Hogs hosted BYU and returned on Jan. 20.
— Arkansas offered Gus Cordova on Feb. 2, and several schools including Oregon, LSU, North Carolina, Michigan State and others followed suit. Look for the Hogs to get a visit here, and we'll gauge the interest level after that.
— It's tough competition for Hattiesburg, Mississippi, native Andrew Maddox as Texas A&M, Georgia, Auburn and others are pushing hard for him. Arkansas got in early with his recruitment by offering him on July 27, 2022, but don't get your hopes up here. Very rarely does Arkansas pull a Top 50 player, and Maddox ranks No. 30 in the country.
— Arkansas coaches got down to Hattiesburg last week to see Kevin Oatis, a highly-recruited defensive tackle with offers from Alabama, Auburn, Florida State and others.The Hogs offered during one of their Prospect Days in January, but it's going to be a dogfight to attain and maintain his services.
— Stephon Shivers holds offers from Ole Miss, Tennessee, Pittsburgh and others in addition to Arkansas. I like where the Hogs are at with him at the moment, even though it's still early.
— Nicco Maggio is removed after committing to Wake Forest.
— I'm keeping four-star Mantrez Walker out of Buford, Georgia, on the list, but things have cooled down significantly with him. He was openly interested in Arkansas on social media, but has also been heavily involved in Miami and Ole Miss. He's dropping a top 12 next week, so we'll see where the Hogs sit by then.
— Parker Meese was removed following his commitment to UNLV. The four-star had offers from Auburn, Missouri, Ole Miss and more, but elected to head to the Group of 5 level to play for the Rebels.
— Dillon Arkansas (still the best name in the class) hasn't had much movement, but he remains uncommitted so he's staying on the list. He added an offer from UTSA on Feb. 2.
— CJ Jimcoily uses a unique adjective on social media to describe how blessed he feels about every offer he receives, each of them essentially meaning "very." Whether it be "pertinaciously" to describe his offer from Liberty or "copacetically" to describe his offer from Tulane.
— Kelvion Riggins was removed after committing to Texas A&M.
— Antonio Parker in the cousin of 2025 Arkansas commit and four-star running back Jamarion Parker. They both play at Cardinal Ritter College Prep in St. Louis. Arkansas offered on Jan. 12 during one of its Prospect Days. He most recently took a visit to Nebraska on Oct. 19.
— Zadian Gentry has visited Arkansas multiple times since the Hogs offered him, most recently on Jan. 13. He was coached at McKinney High School by former Razorback Marcus Shavers, who stepped down from the position at the end of the 2023 season.
— Arkansas was one of the first offers for Na'eem Offord when he was still a sophomore. He was removed from the list after he committed to Ohio State Monday.
— Caleb Chester has visited once before over the summer, and plays at Fort Bend Marshall in Missouri City, Texas. Things are cool on him, though, and I expect him to stay in Texas.
— Coleman Patmon was offered last week and is working with the staff on setting up a date to visit. Also has offers from Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Kansas State and others.
