With Jones out, Hogs turning to Gasaway?

Star City’s Jax Gasaway has heard from Arkansas.

After Pulaski Academy’s Luke Jones flipped his commitment to Notre Dame earlier this week, Arkansas has reached out to the 6-foot-7, 275-pound three-star lineman, according to Richard Davenport of Recruiting Thursday at WholeHogSports.com.

Both Jones and Gasaway, along with Jonesboro’s Noah Gatlin (already committed to Arkansas) were named to USA Today’s All-Arkansas team on Wednesday.

Some recruiting observers have said they were more impressed with Gasaway at some of the summer camps than Jones, but now it appears the Hogs are interested.

Arkansas’ Dustin Fry reached out to Gasaway via Twitter on Wednesday night and plans to see him when the January contact period begins.

“He just told me he was going to come see me as soon as recruiting opens back up,” Gasaway told Davenport.

The NCAA contact period which allows college coaches to visit prospects off campus began Nov. 26. The dead period started Dec. 18 and will run through Jan. 11. The contact period resumes the next day.

Gasaway has 11 scholarship offers from schools like Arkansas State, Louisiana Tech, Texas State, Marshall, Louisiana- Monroe and Air Force. He was named to the first team Arkansas Democrat-Gazette All-Arkansas Preps team on Sunday.
