Fordyce defensive lineman apparently liked what he saw in meeting new Arkansas coach Chad Morris on Wednesday afternoon.
He has cancelled an official visit to UCLA and will be coming to Fayetteville this weekend, according to Recruiting Thursday’s Richard Davenport at WholeHogSports.com.
“I dropped UCLA, I’m going to Arkansas for this weekend,” Ferrell said. “He was saying the rest of the Arkansas recruits were coming in too, and we could connect and our families could connect and that would be better than me coming up by myself and visiting.”
Ferrell, a 6-3, 330-pound lineman with offers from Arkansas, Alabama, Wisconsin and Louisville to go along with others from Colorado State, Arkansas State, Memphis, Massachusetts and others, was swayed by Morris’ message he was needed, according to Davenport’s article.
“He was telling me how I was one of his top priorities of the eight people that he was trying to sign,” Ferrell said. “He said there was a new generation of recruits coming to Arkansas and we could make a big impact.”
Ferrell has mentioned Alabama and Louisville as possible visits he’ll make in January.
