Arkansas and numerous other schools have offered scholarships to junior linebacker Alston Orji.
Orji, 6-2, 220, 4.7, of Rockwall, Texas, has offers from Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M, Nebraska, TCU and others. Razorbacks Coach Bret Bielema likes to recruit uncommon young men and Orji fits that mold.
"You don't come across kids with his combination of athleticism, physical prowess and a good head on his shoulders," Rockwall Coach Rodney Webb said. "Academically, he's very strong. Sometimes kids are book smart, but not very common-sense smart and they're not very engaging personality wise. He has a good combination of all of that.
