Van Horn Signs Another Highly-Rated Class for Razorbacks

It's the fifth-best in one ranking, the fourth straight year the Hogs have been in Top 5

Arkansas has yet again signed one of college baseball’s top recruiting classes.

The Razorbacks signed 19 players to national letters of intent or as committed walk-ons, assembling the fifth-ranked 2022 class in the country by Perfect Game and the No. 7 class in Baseball America’s rankings.

It marks the fourth straight year Dave Van Horn has pulled in a top-five class in Perfect Game’s annual rankings. It is the sixth straight year that Arkansas has ranked inside Perfect Game’s Top 10.

“Our staff has built an impressive class,” Van Horn said in a press release. “Coach (Nate) Thompson and Coach (Matt) Hobbs covered a lot of ground on the recruiting trail to bring in a strong mix of position players and pitchers.

"Adding this class to our current roster will create a lot of healthy competition within our program. There’s a bright future for this group, and we’re excited to get them here.”

The Hogs’ 19-man recruiting class is comprised of 13 pitchers and six position players hailing from 10 different states, including seven from Arkansas. 17 of the signees come from the high schools ranks, while two — pitcher Cody Adcock and infielder Harold Coll — will join from the junior college level.
