Pine Bluff Dollarway athlete Jesse Grandy told me Tuesday night that he plans to attend Arkansas’ camp Saturday.

Athlete Ross Rasner from Reicher High in Waco, Texas, is on a family vacation to San Francisco and will not be able to make the camp but plans to visit Arkansas soon.
Rasner, 6-0, 199, 4.52, has scholarship offers from Arkansas, SMU, Louisiana Tech, Utah, Tulsa, Rice and Navy.
The Helena- West Helena trio of Turell Williams, Darius Winston and Deondre Johnson will make it to the Tulsa camp on Friday, the Arkansas camp on Saturday, the LSU camp on Sunday  and then attend the Ole Miss camp next week.
Williams orally committed to the Hogs in April.  Winston was committed to the Razorbacks but has reopened his recruiting but reportedly is still very interested in Arkansas.

Dewitt offensive tackle Justin Carney will be in attendance at the Arkansas camp and then will be going to Ole Miss for that camp next week. Ball State, Duke and Vanderbilt are showing strong interest. Carney believes the Commodores could offer him with a good showing at their coming camp.
Others attending are Little Rock Central linebacker/tight end Chris Scott, Lonoke athlete Clarence Harris, Arkansas quarterback commitment Will Secord of Frisco, Texas, linebacker Devin Ball of Junction City, Bryant safety Dijon Benton, Lakesaide receiver Ben Crumpton, Little Rock Fair athlete Stephen Houston, Warren receiver Quinn Franklin

Lake Hamilton receiver Josh Profitt is going to Tulsa senior camp Friday and Arkansas’ on Saturday.

Rayville (La.) Coach Bo Barton said Thursday he plan to bring receivers Kenny Bell and Abrecus Martinez up for the camp.

Apparently, Arkansas has backed off of cornerback Collin Ashley of Flower Mound, Texas. He will not be attending the camp.

El Dorado safety Greg Carter, running backs Dexter Toney and Justin Billings attended the Mississippi State camp last weekend.  The Bulldogs interest in Carter and Toney reportedly is increasing. All three were said to be very impressed with the visit.
All three plus junior linebacker Jimmy Ford will be at the Louisiana Tech camp today.

Rogers tailback Michael Tibbs ran a 3.81 pro-shuttle and won the best back award at the Missouri State team camp. He plans to make the Arkansas camp.  He won the AAU regional decathlon and broke the  meet record for most points.

Offensive lineman Devin Shaw, 6-4, 320, 5.2 of Katy, (Tx.) will be attending Arkansas’ camp. Shaw’s mother, Maria is from Arkansas and still has relatives in Rison, Pine Buff and Little Rock.  He’s already camped at Texas, Texas A & M and others. His mother said Devin wants to leave the Texas to play his college football.
