Former OU linebacker Draper eager to get to Arkansas

FAYETTEVILLE — Former Oklahoma linebacker Levi Draper is looking forward to his arrival at Arkansas, where he will have two years to make an impact for the Razorbacks and new coach Sam Pittman.

Draper (6-1, 234), rated as a four-star prospect and the fifth-best inside linebacker prospect in 247Sports' composite 2017 recruiting rankings, is scheduled to graduate in May and get to Fayetteville as soon as the coronavirus pandemic allows for that to happen.

“Coach Pittman had recruited me both when he was at Arkansas and when he went to Georgia as well,” Draper said Wednesday. “So I knew Coach Pittman and had a good relationship with him and then I met the rest of the staff, including (Razorbacks linebacker) Coach (Rion) Rhoades, and I just loved it up there.
