FAYETTEVILLE — Before Arkansas got its recruiting weekend started Friday with nine official visitors and two unofficial visitors - one whose dad is former Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops - it already had one new addition in the books.
Lake Travis, Texas, cornerback and kick returner Nathan Parodi (5-9, 165) announced his intention to take a preferrred walk on offer from the Razorbacks over one from Wisconsin and scholarship offers from smaller schools.
He took an unofficial visit to the Arkansas campus on the weekend of Jan. 13-15.
“I think my fit with Arkansas was better,” Parodi said.
