More high-level athletes are set to take official visits to Arkansas this weekend.

The official visit train is continuing this weekend as the Arkansas Razorbacks work to fill out their 2025 recruiting class.
Last weekend was the first for official visitors, but this weekend could prove to be one of the most important.
Along with hosting several high-level prospects, there is one recruit who is already committed who will be taking his official visit with a teammate the Razorbacks are recruiting as well.
The biggest recruit headed to Fayetteville this weekend is far and away four-star safety Omarion Robinson. Ranked the No. 121 player in the country, Robinson is one of four Little Rock Parkview athletes the Razorbacks are trying to reel in the 2025 class.
One athlete who was scheduled to have an official visit this weekend appears to have decided against it. Kiandrea Barker, a three-star running back out of Beebe, announced on X that his recruitment has been shut down, and he is remaining committed to Penn State.
Arkansas was one of several schools working to flip Barker’s commitment in recent weeks.
HawgBeat has more on each of this weekend's official visitors and where the Hogs stand in their recruitment.
Quentin Murphy — Athlete
Quentin Murphy is the second in-state product to join the Razorbacks' class this season, committing to Arkansas on June 1 over Syracuse and Georgia Tech.
Murphy plays quarterback for Parkview but is expected to play either defensive back or wide receiver when he arrives at Arkansas.
Prior to transferring to Parkview, Murphy played at Joe T. Robinson. He didn’t put up gaudy numbers through the air, as he only threw for 892 yards and 13 touchdowns, but his athleticism with the ball in his hands is what makes him attractive at the next level.
He rushed for 697 yards and six scores with an average of 8.2 yards per carry. His longest carry was 90 yards for a touchdown, where he broke one tackle and outran the entire defense on the sideline.
Omarion Robinson — Safety
There's not much to be said that hasn't already been said about Robinson. He's head and shoulders the best athlete in the state of Arkansas in this class, and is probably a better prospect than most in the state in at least the last five years.
Robinson has a top four of Arkansas, Oklahoma, Oregon and LSU and is expected to announce his commitment on June 29 with his teammate, athlete Monterrio Elston.
Current intel says the race is mostly between the Razorbacks and Sooners, but Oregon is also one to watch down the stretch.
As mentioned above, Robinson is one of four Parkview athletes in the class of 2025 that Arkansas is pushing to get, and if the Hogs can land more of those teammates, it bodes even better for their chances of getting Robinson.
Waden Charles — Wide Receiver
Charles' fellow wide receiver at Palm Beach Central is Kamare Williams, a three-star who committed to Arkansas on June 21.
A native of Boynton Beach, Florida, Charles committed to Miami (FL) in Sept. 2023, but de-committed and reopened his recruitment on May 30.
Along with Arkansas, Charles has an official visit scheduled to UCF for the weekend of June 14.
Carius Curne — Offensive Lineman
Arkansas will have one more shot to bring Marion four-star lineman Carius Curne back into the fold during his official visit this weekend.
Curne was previously committed to Arkansas for a brief time in February and March, but reopened his recruitment after taking an unofficial visit to Ole Miss.
Along with Arkansas, Curne has already taken an official visit to Missouri last weekend and is set to visit LSU the weekend of June 14.
Curne plays on both sides of the line for Marion, so he’ll have some flexibility as to where he plays when he gets to college. Both Arkansas defensive line coach Deke Adams and offensive line coach Eric Mateos have been recruiting him.
