Arkansas Lands Top 20 Signing Class for 11th Consecutive Year

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Head coach Dave Van Horn and the Razorbacks announced today their 2026 signing class, inking 11 high school standouts and one junior college product.

Arkansas’ 2026 signing class is ranked No. 14 nationally by both Baseball America and Perfect Game, marking the 11th consecutive year that Van Horn, assisted by coaches Matt Hobbs, Nate Thompson and Bobby Wernes, has brought in a top 20 class.

“Coach Hobbs, Coach Thompson and Coach Wernes have built strong reputations as some of the best recruiters in the country,” Van Horn said. “Our 2026 signing class is even more proof of that. We’re excited to get this talented group to Fayetteville and get to work.”

Arkansas’ 12-man signing class features six position players, including three infielders, one catcher, one outfielder and one utility player; three pitchers, including two right-handers and one left-hander; and three two-way players. This year’s group of Razorback signees hails from five different states: Arkansas (4), Texas (4), Missouri (2), Hawaiʻi (1), Kansas (1).

“Congratulations to all the members of our 2026 signing class,” Thompson, Arkansas’ recruiting coordinator, said. “We, as a staff, are extremely fired up about these young men choosing to make Arkansas their home. This is a physical and powerful group of talented athletes that loves to compete and is passionate about playing for the Razorbacks.

“They’ve performed on the national stage at a high level for years, and they want to win and develop while making an immediate impact. We can’t wait to see them in Razorback uniforms in the fall of 2026!”
