If you’re an Arkansas football fan who even casually follows recruiting, the following statement likely won’t come as much of a surprise.
Tavion Wallace, the crown jewel of the Razorbacks’ 2025 class, has recently plummeted in the rankings on two major recruiting sites.
In its latest update, 247Sports dropped the four-star linebacker a whopping 137 spots to No. 176 overall, while also lowering his grade from 94 to 92. He experienced a similar drop at On3, falling from No. 44 at the time of his commitment to Arkansas down to No. 138 — a 94-spot tumble.
Prior to those changes, Wallace was set to be one of the highest-ranked prospects the Razorbacks have landed out of high school since the turn of the century.
