4-star LB Martavius French commits to the Hogs

Arkansas coach Chad Morris and staff received their second linebacker commitment for the 2020 class with Martavius French's pledge to the Hogs.

Fellow Tennessean and linebacker Drew Francis committed to the Razorbacks late Saturday night.

French, 6-2, 236 pounds, 4.7 seconds in the 40-yard dash, of Memphis Whitehaven had other scholarship offers from Tennessee, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, LSU, Oklahoma, Florida and others.

His relaltionship with Morris, defensive coordinator John Chavis, special assistant Sean Tuohy and others on staff convinced him Fayetteville was where he needed to be.

“It’s just a feeling you can have inside that they’re really like family,” French said.
