Arkansas defensive line coach Deke Adams has pulled his weight well on the recruiting trail. He helped Arkansas host a three-star defensive lineman from Mississippi over the weekend.
Alex Foster, a three-star defensive lineman from Greenville, Mississippi, has already been on campus once in May, and was back for an official visit over the weekend. He said Arkansas, Baylor and Georgia Tech are the three teams he's considering, but no team is a clear leader.
"Arkansas, Baylor, Georgia Tech, I think they tied," Foster said, "It's hard to rank right now."
Foster said one main reason Arkansas is in the position it's in is because of the people.
"First off, the people," Foster said. "The people is the biggest reason. Then how the coaches are."
The most important factor in Foster's recruitment, though, is playing in a high-level conference where he can develop for the next level, something he can get at Arkansas by playing in the SEC.
"My high competitive development. SEC, Big 12, ACC," Foster said.
Foster said a decision on his future should come in the middle of July, if not before then.
