Arkansas coach Chad Morris has landed a couple of recruits he previously had committed at SMU, according to various reports.
Magnolia, Texas, wide receiver Mike Woods (6-2, 190, 4.43) had multiple offers from schools around the country including Minnesota, Texas Tech, Colorado State, Iowa State and Houston.

Woods committed to SMU on Feb. 6.
As a senior, Woods caught 51 passes for 1,018 yards and 15 touchdowns. In his career, Woods has 155 receptions for 2,988 yards and 41 touchdowns.
Richard Davenport at WholeHogSports.com talked with Woods on Saturday:
His relationship with Morris and receivers coach Justin Stepp made his decision to be a Razorback easy.
“I chose to be a Razorback because Coach Morris and Coach Stepp were a big part of my decision at SMU,” Woods said. “When they decided to leave and said they would bring me with them that was that.”
Woods wasn’t the only former SMU commitment to agree to follow Morris to Fayetteville.
Offensive lineman Silas Robinson of Yoakum, Texas, (6-4, 315) chose Arkansas over others he had offers from and was drawing “strong interest” from folks such as Oklahoma State.

He was previously committed to SMU and decided to follow Morris to Fayetteville.
Davenport at WholeHogSports.com caught up with Robinson:
He said he wanted to be a Razorback because of Morris and offensive line coach Dustin Fry.
“I feel like there’s really nobody better than those two guys,” Robinson said. “I’m just fired up that I’m going to be with them and play for them. Ever since I met them, they’re great christian guys. I feel like they truly love their players. They don’t want to use you for football, they want to make you better person and make you be the best you can be.”
Stay tuned because Morris and his staff apparently are going fast making up for a late start.
