The Arkansas football program will host two trench transfers for official visits in the coming days, HawgBeat confirmed Thursday evening.
First up is junior Abilene Christian defensive tackle transfer David Oke, who will be in for an official visit Saturday through Monday. Standing at 6-foot-2, 290-pounds, the Houston, Texas, native totaled 63 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, a sack and a forced fumble in 2024.
In his lone game against Power Four competition this year against Texas Tech, Oke racked up five total tackles, 1.5. tackles for loss and a quarterback hit.
Oke's 86.9 run defense grade, according to Pro Football Focus, ranked 12th nationally among FCS defensive tackles. He finished with a 79.5 overall defensive grade, plus a 46.3 mark in tackling and a 59.8 mark in pass-rush.
Since entering the transfer portal, Oke has received offers from teams like Indiana, Boise State, Kansas State, Michigan State, Mississippi State, North Carolina, West Virginia, Texas Tech and others.
The second official visitor HawgBeat learned about Thursday evening is freshman offensive tackle Kavion Broussard, who will be on campus sometime next week.
A 6-foot-6, 290-pound native of New Iberia, Louisiana, Broussard didn't register a snap for the Rebels during the 2024 season. Broussard, a product of Zachary High School, has earned offers from Marshall, Miami (FL), Arkansas State and Georgia Tech.
