Highly regarded linebacker Josh Clarke said Arkansas receivers coach Michael Smith is a key reason for his planned visit to Fayetteville on Saturday.
During a February interview, Clarke called Smith “the realest coach” he’s talked to during the recruiting process.
“He was a big factor, just talking to him then finally talking to Coach (Bret) Bielema,” said Clarke, who originally planned to visit Friday. “I wanted to come visit the hills.”
Clarke, 6-3, 219, 4.47 seconds in the 40 yard dash, of Jefferson. (La.) Riverdale has more than 20 scholarship offers from schools like Arkansas, Arizona State, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and Ole Miss.
