The Lucas-Lovejoy (Tex.) product came to Arkansas as a four star linebacker in the 2018 class. Pool stayed committed to Arkansas after Bret Bielema was fired after the 2017 football season.

Lightly recruited out of high school, Ricky Stromberg was committed to the Tulsa Hurricane as a senior in high school. After recovering from an injury, then offensive line coach, Dustin Fry, offered Stromberg a scholarship and quickly flipped to Arkansas.

Catalon, Pool and Stromberg were also included in the All-SEC. Fellow teammates Cam Little, Jadon Haselwood, Beaux Limmer and Isaiah Nichols were also tabbed to the preseason all-SEC list, too.
