FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The Arkansas Razorbacks strengthened their Top 10 recruiting class for 2026 with two new commitments on Monday.
Quincy, Florida’s 3-star linebacker Daylen Green, who chose Arkansas over offers from Florida State, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Duke, West Virginia, Louisville, Colorado, Boston College, Central Florida, South Florida, Wake Forest, and others, was the first to pledge. Bentonville’s 3-star wide receiver Blair Irvin also committed.
Green, ranked No. 585 overall, No. 43 among linebackers, and No. 85 among Florida athletes by 247Sports, showcased his tackling prowess as a junior, recording 104 solo tackles out of 111 total, including four for loss, highlighting his physicality.

Bentonville’s 3-star wide receiver Blair Irvin followed suit after a visit to South Florida over the weekend.
Green, a 6-foot-1, 210-pound versatile athlete ranked No. 585 overall, No. 43 among linebackers, and No. 85 among Florida athletes by 247Sports, has excelled on both sides of the ball. As a junior, he recorded 104 solo tackles out of 111, including four for loss, showcasing his physicality. Offensively, he added 15 career receptions for 262 yards and three touchdowns. His experience across multiple defensive roles, including potential at nickelback or safety, could see him make an early impact at Arkansas.
The Razorbacks’ defense, despite some highlights last season, struggled against top SEC offenses like LSU and Ole Miss. Arkansas allowed 376 yards per game (No. 76 nationally) and 247 passing yards per game (No. 111 among FBS teams), underscoring the need for talents like Green.
Irvin, previously under the radar nationally, emerged as a key addition to Arkansas’ recruiting class with his commitment.

His multi-positional defensive experience, potentially at nickelback or safety, could lead to early playing time. Arkansas’ defense, which allowed 376 yards per game (No. 76 nationally) and 247 passing yards per game (No. 111 among FBS teams) last season, struggled against top SEC offenses like LSU and Ole Miss, making Green’s addition critical.
Bentonville’s 3-star wide receiver Blair Irvin, who committed after a visit to South Florida, chose Arkansas over USF, UNLV, North Texas, Purdue, Minnesota, Kansas State, and others. The 6-foot-1, 175-pound receiver had a standout junior season in 2024, hauling in 50 catches for 850 yards and 10 touchdowns for Bentonville’s respected 7A Conference Tigers program, with potential for an even bigger senior year. Irvin cited the culture under sixth-year coach Sam Pittman as a key factor. “Coach Pittman’s staff trusts in him, and that’s what’s important,” Irvin said last week. “They are loyal to their people, and it was shown this weekend. I noticed mainly the positive vibes the people on staff gave off. They were very intentional about making sure me and my family felt at home.”
Arkansas’ offense was a bright spot last season, ranking No. 3 nationally with 246 chunk plays of 10+ yards in 2024, setting the stage for Irvin to thrive in their explosive system.
