Breaking: Defensive Tackle Target Carnell Jackson Jr. Verbally Committed to the Arkansas Football Program
In a major recruiting win for the Razorbacks, Carnell Jackson Jr., a highly sought-after defensive tackle prospect, has officially verbally committed to the Arkansas football program.
The announcement comes after weeks of mounting interest from top programs across the country, but in the end, the 4-star lineman chose to bring his talents to Fayetteville—instantly adding firepower to Arkansas’ 2025 recruiting class.
Jackson Jr., a 6’3″, 300-pound powerhouse out of Georgia, has been on the radar of SEC schools for months thanks to his explosive strength, quick feet, and disruptive presence on the interior line. Known for clogging up lanes and creating havoc in the backfield, his film shows a rare blend of size and athleticism that’s hard to teach.
“I feel like Arkansas is home,” Jackson said in a social media post. “The coaches believe in me, the culture is right, and I want to help build something special.”
Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman and defensive line coach Deke Adams have been relentless in their pursuit of Jackson, making multiple visits and showcasing the vision for his role in the Hogs’ defense. That persistence paid off in a big way, as Jackson becomes one of the cornerstone pieces of what is shaping up to be a strong 2025 class.
Fans and analysts are already buzzing about the impact Jackson could have in the trenches. With his commitment, Arkansas is not just securing a top-tier talent—they’re sending a message that the Razorbacks are serious about building a dominant defense for the future.
While verbal commitments are non-binding until players sign their National Letters of Intent, Arkansas has positioned itself well to hold on to Jackson Jr. as National Signing Day approaches.
For now, Razorback Nation has reason to celebrate—Carnell Jackson Jr. is calling the Hogs.
