Arkansas the place for Agim

Arkansas had plenty of reasons to celebrate Saturday.

On the same day the 18th-ranked Razorbacks opened their season with a 48-13 victory over Texas-El Paso, Arkansas found out the state's top recruit has decided to be a Razorback.

Hope defensive end McTelvin Agim orally committed to Arkansas, choosing the Razorbacks over Ole Miss, Texas A&M and Baylor during a news conference at a family reunion in Texarkana, Texas.

Agim, 6-3, 268 pounds, 4.62 seconds in the 40-yard dash, is one of the more highly regarded defensive prospects to come out of the state. Texas, Alabama, Auburn, Oklahoma and Clemson were among other notable programs that offered scholarships.
