FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas baseball picked up a commitment this week from a junior college infielder in Oklahoma.
Bryson Lierle (6-3, 215 pounds) chose the Razorbacks over interest from at least eight Division I programs, including Oklahoma State, said Roger Ward, Lierle's coach at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M. Lierle played high school baseball at Lookeba-Sickles, about 60 miles west of Oklahoma City.
Lierle will have two seasons of eligibility remaining at Arkansas beginning in 2019.
"He's one of the best hitting prospects I've ever had," said Ward, who is in his 20th season at the junior college in Miami, Okla.
