Arkansas has landed the commitment of 4-star offensive lineman Paris Patterson.
His respect for Razorbacks coach Sam Pittman and offensive line coach Cody Kennedy played a big part of his decision to be a Razorback.
"I just always admired Coach Pitt and I like what Coach Kennedy is doing here so far,” Patterson said. “It's a win-win."
Patterson, 6-5, 335 pounds, of East St. Louis (Ill.) High School, attended Arkansas' lineman camp on June 22 and received a scholarship offer from Kennedy.
He had offers from LSU, Iowa State, Nebraska, Tennessee, Tulane, Miami (Ohio) and other schools before his one from Arkansas.
