A recent conversation with University of Arkansas Coach Chad Morris and tight ends coach Barry Lunney Jr. has an east Texas prospect convinced the Hogs are headed in the right direction.
Athlete Allen Horace Jr., 6-5, 225 pounds, of Crockett High School has scholarship offers from Arkansas, Nebraska, Baylor, Oklahoma State and Baylor. He's also drawing interest from Texas and others.
The junior called the Razorback coaches Monday.
"Talked to both coaches, both very personal and genuine," Horace said. "Arkansas is really about to pick up."
Horace and the coaches talked about his last two games of the season and a trip to Fayetteville.
