FAYETTEVILLE — A pair of Arkansans committed to play baseball for the Razorbacks on Saturday.
Catcher Cooper Oliphant of Sheridan and infielder/right-handed pitcher Easton Swofford of Southside Bee Branch committed during a prospects camp at Baum Stadium after being offered the same day.

Oliphant and Swofford play summer baseball for the Arkansas Prospects.
