After Quarreling With the Head Coach, Arkansas Razorback Key Player Departed From the Team.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Top 20 passer, Jayvon Gilmore committed to Arkansas Thursday over Texas A&M, North Carolina State, Louisville and and Virginia Tech. The 6-foot-6, 200 pound quarterback is currently rated a 3-star by three major recruiting publication, No. 19 overall prospect at his position and No. 4 player in South Carolina, according to 247sports.
The Elgin, South Carolina native had nine total offers with North Carolina State as the school that gave Arkansas its biggest battle. Gilmore committed to the Razorbacks via his Instagram account with a live video and had this to say to SB Live director of recruiting Andrew Nemac.
Gilmore visited last weekend during the Hog Wild Hangout and came away impressed and shown much love. That is similar to the way most targets feel after visiting or communicating with Arkansas’ staff.
During his sophomore season at Gaffney High School, Gilmore passed for over 1,700 yards, 22 touchdowns and only seven interceptions. He does have a dual threat capability in the read option which is the offense both Coach Sam Pittman and offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino want to run.
