Back to the Arkansas Razorbacks Newsfeed

Arkansas' JUCO haul impressive

Arkansas' signing of the top junior college tight end and wide receiver along with another highly ranked receiver Wednesday and Thursday -- the first two days midyear transfers could sign -- received glowing reports from national recruiting analysts.

The Hogs inked Jeremy Patton, ESPN's No. 1 junior-college tight end, and Jonathan Nance, ESPN's No. 6 receiver, on Wednesday.

Patton, 6-6, 250, 4.59 seconds in the 40-yard dash, of Arizona Western College chose the Razorbacks over nearly 30 other offers from schools such as Alabama, Southern Cal, Auburn, Oklahoma State, Arizona and Arizona State.

ESPN senior writer Jeremy Crabtree said Patton will make a big impact in Fayetteville.
