Not putting this up as an article because there's a good amount of speculation/off the record input inserted into these.

Stacey Wilkins – This probably sounds like a broken record by now but Wilkins is still leaning against playing for the Razorbacks since his recruitment’s blown up in the past three months. The Razorbacks offered him in mid-December and since, he’s picked up offers from Bama, Texas, USC, Oklahoma and more. Per sources, Wilkins was tempted to commit to the Sooners on his spring game visit but he will undoubtedly use his official visit opportunities before making his decision. Wilkins has said he will OV to Arkansas in the first full week of June and has an OV set to Texas as well.

Jadon Jackson – The Northwest Arkansas native is a very intriguing prospect for the Razorbacks but a preference to play on offense could hinder his commitment. The staff has mainly recruited Jackson at corner and they’re on top of some more elite talent at receiver so it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him explore his other options. He’s got offers from Auburn, Georgia, Mizzou, Ole Miss, Kentucky, Indiana and more. Jackson has a solid relationship with former Arkansas receiver coach, current Kentucky coach, Michael Smith. The cats don’t have any committed receivers yet.

Darius Thomas – Word’s still out on 6-foot-6 lineman Darius Thomas. The staff already has two guard commits and they’ve hosted two top tackle options already, Triston Miller and Trevor Roberson. Roberson is an Arkansas lean. Thomas has taken plenty of unofficial visits so we’ll just have to wait and see where he chooses to OV, he’s already set an official to Georgia.

Zach Williams – The junior from Little Rock, Ark., boasts offers from 22 schools including Alabama, Arkansas, Baylor, and Georgia. I’ve spoken to Zach and he’s still an Arkansas lean despite recently picking up a Texas offer and calling the Longhorns one of his top choices. He said he’s going to go back to Texas for another visit and told Fansided that he’ll also visit Georgia, Tennessee and Cal as well as others, officially or unofficially. Williams’ father was a Razorback however and it would be very tough for another school to out-recruit Arkansas for his talent.

Treylon Burks – Warren wide receiver Treylon Burks holds 9 offers including 5 SEC offers but he’s a strong Arkansas lean. Arkansas will have room for roughly three receivers in the small 2019 class. Burks isn’t a big talker and isn’t really big on the recruiting process so once he takes his official visit he could likely shut the whole thing down.

Marcus Miller – Even after picking up a Razorback offer, the 6-foot-4, 290-pound defensive tackle still hasn’t picked up a second offer. We’ll just have to trust the staff’s judgment on this recruit because Miller has a whopping total of 26 seconds of film online. Now, the staff has other methods of getting game tape of recruits but it seems that the Warren prospect doesn’t have a “committable” offer. When the staff gets Burks on campus for an official, Miller will likely join him.

Hudson Henry – The Razorbacks top, and only, tight end target Hudson Henry is still weighing his options between Arkansas and Stanford. The 6-foot-5 hog legacy highly values a top notch education and Stanford’s usage of the tight end but Henry also has a very solid relationship with Razorback’s tight end coach Barry Lunney Jr. and the staff isn’t worried to the point of offering more scholarships at the position. Lunney had Hudson’s brother Hunter Henry drafted as the first tight end taken in the 2016 NFL draft. Hudson will likely official to both schools but in the end, staying close to home will likely win over the 4-star. He also just took an unofficial visit to Ole Miss.
