Safety target interested as Hogs show him love

University of Arkansas safety target Jerrin Thompson will see what the Hogs have to offer when he makes his first trip to Fayetteville on March 9.

"I'm just ready to see their facilities and see how it is," Thompson said. "I've never been to Arkansas. I'm excited."

Thompson, 6-1, 183 pounds, of Lufkin, Texas, has 15 scholarship offers from Arkansas, LSU, Oklahoma, Arizona, Baylor, Virginia Tech, South Florida, Vanderbilt and others. He talks mostly to associate head coach and running backs coach Jeff Traylor while also communicating with cornerbacks coach Mark Smith.

"They're staying in touch a lot," Thompson said.
