FAYETTEVILLE (KFSM) – From the hours of 11:00 PM to 8:00 AM, most people are sound asleep. But those close to the Razorback football program were surely celebrating after landing two 3-star recruits out of Knoxville West.
Linebacker Drew Francis made the announcement first, tweeting out a late-night commitment at 11:27 PM Saturday evening.
Francis marks the first linebacker out of the 2020 class to commit to Arkansas – not including Jashaud Stewart whose position is yet to be determined with the Hogs.
Just a few hours later at 7:10 AM, Francis’ high school teammate in defensive end Tyrece Edwards also announced he would be sporting the cardinal and white next season.
Francis and Edwards, friends since the seventh grade, are the 12th and 13th verbal commitments to the Arkansas’ 2020 recruiting class.
