The Arkansas Razorbacks currently have six commitments in the fold of their 2025 class, but that number is expected to grow soon as official visits start next week.
These official visits usually last roughly 48 hours, starting on Friday and ending on Sunday morning. They’re different from unofficial visits in that the entire visit is paid for on the school’s dime.
The big official visit weekends start May 31 and run all the way through to June 23, at which point the NCAA will enter a dead period with no in-person contact allowed.
Next weekend's visitors are headlined by two four-star recruits, defensive lineman Kevin Oatis and linebacker Tavion Wallace.
The first group of recruits who will be on campus this weekend features some high-level talent, but isn't as loaded from a numbers standpoint as some of the later weekends.
So far, HawgBeat has confirmed four athletes who will be on Arkansas' campus for official visits next weekend, and there are sure to be more as the weekend gets closer. Stay tuned to HawgBeat for the latest in Arkansas football recruiting.
HawgBeat takes a closer look at the recruits who will be at Arkansas.
Oatis has had his official visit date set for a while now, as he told HawgBeat on March 14 of his plans to visit Arkansas.
The four-star defensive tackle out of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, is also being heavily pursued by LSU and Mississippi State, with USC in the mix as well.
In addition to his trip to Arkansas, Oatis has official visits set up for Southern Cal and Mississippi State.
As far as where Arkansas stands, it's going to be an uphill battle, with the main competition believed to be Mississippi State at the moment, but the Hogs have been a constant in his recruitment and defensive line coach Deke Adams has pulled high-profile talent out of the high school ranks before.
Tavion Wallace has a top-five of Georgia, LSU, Arkansas, Florida State and Florida, and will make his decision public on July 15.
The Jesup, Georgia, native is one of the best linebackers in the country in the 2025 class, currently ranked No. 12 at his position nationally by Rivals.
Wallace is not the only standout athlete in his family. His brother Trevin played for Kentucky and was drafted in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft by the Carolina Panthers in April.
Right now, it's an uphill battle for Arkansas to get his commitment, as Georgia is seen to be a frontrunner. Getting an official visit is huge, but given that it'll be the first of a loaded visit schedule, the Hogs will need to impress to gain some ground on the others in his recruitment.
