FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Kevin Oatis, a native of Hattiesburg, Miss., has committed to Arkansas, making him a significant defensive recruit for the Razorbacks.

The defensive tackle is 6-foot-2 and weighs 285 pounds. He is the No. 243 overall prospect for 2025, No. 27 among linemen, and No. 9 in Mississippi. After receiving offers from Alabama, Mississippi State, Auburn, LSU, Michigan, Ole Miss, Texas, Texas A&M, Penn State, and USC, he decided to sign with the Razorbacks. Because he helped his Hattiesburg team reach the 6A playoffs, Mississippi writers awarded him all-state honors. The Clarion-Record additionally named him to its restrictive “Dandy Dozen” list before the season started. Because of guarded line mentor Deke Adams, his position bunch has enrolled incredibly well all through the late spring. The Arkansas defensive staff has worked tirelessly to acquire a number of elite recruits, including Oatis, 40th-ranked prospect Tavion Wallace, and four-star Reginald Vaughn. After the 2021 season, Sam Pittman hired Adams as defensive line coach. Much was said about Adams’ ability to recruit. Nobody had any idea that the Razorback defensive line would transform into a never-before-seen unit, completely rearranging his position room. Over the past few cycles, Adams has put together a string of impressive classes. During the previous offseason, Arkansas made two deals for four-star linemen in Charlie Collins and Kavion Henderson. Danny Saili is a transfer from BYU and stands 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 375 pounds. Qunicy Rhodes, a native of Little Rock, signed with the Razorbacks in 2023 as the second-best player in his class. In the season opener against UAPB on Thursday night, he played at edge rusher more than any of his teammates.
