KJ Hill commits to Arkansas

NORTH LITTLE ROCK (KATV) — K.J. Hill announced that he was committing to Bret Bielema Friday morning at the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame in North Little Rock.

It's been known the Hog coaching staff has been pushing state pride really hard with Hill, so it's appropriate that he would choose the state's sports Hall of Fame to announce his commitment.

Hill is a consensus 4* wide receiver from North Little Rock and is considered one of the top receivers in the nation.

247 Sports grades him at a 92 and the number 1 player in the state of Arkansas.

Just weeks ago, he named Arkansas, Alabama, Ohio State, Florida, and Notre Dame as his top 5 schools. He said he may still take official visits to all five of those schools.

This commitment moves Arkansas back into the top 25 in 247 sports recruiting rankings. This is Arkansas' 12th commitment in the 2015 class and the 7th from Arkansas.
