Arkansas football coach Sam Pittman is quietly assembling a solid 2026 recruiting class.
The group currently ranks as high as No. 11 nationally according to 247Sports. Rivals slots Arkansas in at No. 16, while On3 has it down at No. 23. Arkansas’ average class ranking in the 247Sports ranking over the last five years is 26.2, with the highest finish being the 22nd-ranked Class of 2022.
With the Hogs usually slotting in the high 20s, hovering around the top 10 is a marked improvement – especially compared to the 2025 class, which ranked a dismal 33rd nationally and second-to-last in the SEC, ahead of only lowly Vanderbilt.
