FAYETTEVILLE — Just minutes before Arkansas’ football coaches got into their golf carts Monday for head coach Chad Morris’ Preseason Golf Tournament with the media, they began to smile and whisper to each other.
There were some high fives shared, and Morris and his assistants began sending out celebratory tweets, which usually signals something big has happened in recruiting.
It had indeed as news broke publicly that Warren wide receiver Treylon Burks (6-3, 210) had committed to Arkansas over LSU, Florida State, Michigan, Ole Miss, South Carolina and others.
It’s no ordinary acquisition as Burks is a game-changer, the 88th-best player in the 2019 class, according to ESPN, and arguably one of the top two prospects in the state in this class.
