Thank you God for the many opportunities you have given me and thank you for the support from my family and friends. I’ve thought long and hard on the commitment process and Now I will be Committing to The University of Arkansas! GO HOGS‼️???? @bo_hembree @coachjstepp
Burks becomes the 15th commitment for Chad Morris as the work he, Barry Lunney and offensive coordinator Joe Craddock put in paid off.
It is the latest after a flurry of commitments over the weekend after Friday’s Woopignic that netted three commitments Saturday.

Recruiting rush continues with 3 commits Saturday
Arkansas has shot up the recruiting rankings with three solid commitments Saturday, just a day after the Hogs’ Woo Pignic Friday that was, by all accounts, a success.
That may be an understatement after Saturday. Coach Chad Morris and the assistant coaches’ hard work on the recruiting trail is starting to pay dividends.
The commitments included two players from Texas and one from Warren and there is another Lumberjack everyone is waiting on a decision from.
The Hogs shot up the 247Sports.com composite ranking list to 28th in the country and 10th in the SEC, ahead of Florida, Kentucky, Vanderbilt and Missouri. They were No. 49 nationally and 13th in the SEC previously.
And the steady climb in the rankings (they were in the high 70’s a few months ago) is as much on quality of commitments more than the quantity.
The three commitments Saturday made it 14 total for the Hogs, which is far below the numbers of most of the other SEC schools.
First to commit was Fort Bend Travis, Texas, linebacker Zach Zimos:

Miller was one of two Lumberjacks in town Friday along with wide receiver Treylon Burks, who has not committed yet.
A previous version of this story listed Zach Zimos’ school as Lake Travis in the Austin, Texas, area. It has been corrected to Fort Bend Travis, Texas, in the Houston area.
Hogs’ Froholdt named to watch list for Wuerffel Tropy
FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. — Senior offensive lineman Hjalte Froholdt has been named as one of 106 players from the Football Bowl Subdivision on the Wuerffel Trophy Watch List.
Earlier this week, Froholdt was named to the Outland Trophy watch list and was tabbed as a preseason All-SEC Second Team member as voted on by media in attendance at SEC Media Days last week.
Froholdt was the second-highest graded guard in the SEC at 85.8 last season, earning a spot on Pro Football Focus’ All-SEC first team. He started all 12 games at left guard in 2017 to run his streak to 25 straight dating back to last season.
Froholdt played 89.2 percent of the team’s offensive snaps and didn’t allow a sack across 388 snaps in pass protection.
The Wuerffel Trophy, known as “College Football’s Premier Award for Community Service,” is presented annually in Fort Walton Beach.
Named after 1996 Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Danny Wuerffel from the University of Florida, the Wuerffel Trophy is awarded to the FBS player that best combines exemplary community service with athletic and academic achievement.
