The Razorbacks are hoping the spring game weekend is a big time for recruiting, and they've landed their first commitment out of the weekend's group of visitors.

Devion Warren is an athlete from Monroe, Louisiana who is projected to play receiver for the Hogs, according to the recruiting reporters. He is a 3-star prospect on 247 and has not yet been rated on Rivals. He chose Arkansas over offers from Colorado State, Louisiana Tech, Louisiana-Monroe and Louisiana-Lafayette.
Receiver is a major recruiting priority for Arkansas this year because Drew Morgan, Keon Hatcher, Dominique Reed, and Cody Hollister are all seniors this fall. Warren is the third commitment expected to play the position along with Jarrod Barnes and Maleek Barkley. It will be interesting to see how many receivers the Hogs sign in total.
Warren is Arkansas' 8th commitment of the 2017 class.
