Razorbacks Making Cut for Defensive Players

By Otis Kirk

One of Arkansas’ top defensive line targets is Houston (Texas) Cypress Ridge’s Vernon Broughton.

The talented four-star Broughton, 6-6. 285, released his top six schools on May 20. The Razorbacks along with Alabama, Ohio State, Texas, Texas A&M and LSU made the list. He holds offers from schools all over the nation.

Texas may be hard to beat, but Arkansas is trying. They are hoping to have him on the campus May 31-June 2 for an official visit. He was at Arkansas on March 9 for an unofficial visit. The Hogs also offered his cousin and little brother as well.

Broughton has already taken an official visit to Texas May 3-5.

Linebacker Likes Hogs

Stafford (Texas) linebacker Robert Wooten, 6-3, 230, has released his top eight schools and once again the Hogs are on the list.

In addition to Arkansas, Texas Tech, Missouri, Wisconsin, Arizona, Arizona State, Virginia Tech and SMU made the list. His recruitment is still open.

Utah became his 20th offer shortly after he released his eight favorites.
