Stanford transfer defensive back Julian Neal has committed to Arkansas, HawgBeat confirmed Saturday.
A 6-foot-2, 200-pound native of California, Neal played for Fresno State in 2024 before transferring to Stanford during the winter transfer portal window. He totaled 35 tackles, five tackles for loss, a sack and two interceptions for the Bulldogs last season.
In his four-year career, Neal has racked up 44 total tackles, seven tackles for loss, a sack, two interceptions and eight passes defended. He's not the only former Fresno State player on Arkansas' roster, as wide receiver Raylen Sharpe joined the Hogs from the Mountain West Conference this offseason.
Since entering the transfer portal, Neal had received interest from teams like Auburn, Florida State, Kentucky, Georgia Tech, Kansas State, Missouri, Mississippi State, USC and others. Neal is expected to have one year of eligibility with the Razorbacks.
