Class of 2026 4-star linebacker Jakore Smith is a fan of University of Arkansas defensive coordinator Travis Williams' rapping and communication skills.
"With T-Will I forget he's even recruiting me," Smith said. "We just talk like we've been knowing each other. The vibe be real and not forced."
Smith, 6-1, 195 pounds, of Little Rock Parkview has seen his scholarship offer list take off since Arkansas became his first Power 5 offer in September of his sophomore season with Alabama, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Florida State, Missouri, Notre Dame, Georgia Tech, Central Florida and others jumping on board.
He and several Parkview teammates, including running back Cameron Settles, who will announce his college decision on Saturday, visited Fayetteville for the Hogwild Hangout recruiting event on Saturday.
