Auburn EDGE, former 4-star commits to Arkansas
Auburn EDGE transfer Jamonta Waller has committed to Arkansas, he announced Wednesday. Waller is the 14th player to commit to the Razorbacks out of the transfer portal and has three years of eligibility remaining.
Waller was a four-star prospect in the class of 2024 and was rated in the Top 150 overall, signing with Auburn at the time current Hogs defensive coordinator Ron Roberts held the same position with the Tigers.
