University of Arkansas defensive end and linebacker target Herbert Gums has seven scholarship offers, including his first Power 5 offer from the Hogs.
Gums, 6-2, 260, 4.8 seconds in the 40-yard dash, of Diboll, Texas, has other scholarship offers from Iowa State, Missouri, Texas Tech and Houston. The Razorbacks extended an offer in July of last year.
Diboll, a town of approximately 5,000, is about 100 miles north of Houston. Associate head coach and running backs coach Jeff Traylor heads up Arkansas' recruiting efforts in east Texas and is the lead recruiter for Gums.
"I've been texting coach Traylor," Gums said.
