Following loss to Kentucky, Arkansas' highest-rated 2020 commit reopens his recruitment
Just when Arkansas fans thought the night could not get any worse, Chad Morris’ program just lost a commitment from the program’s highest-rated pledge in the 2020 recruiting cycle.
Not long after the Razorbacks lost 24-20 to a Kentucky team that didn’t have a quarterback this weekend, Texas native Ty’kiest Crawford announced his decision to reopen his commitment.
The 6-foot-5, 335-pound lineman is rated as a four-star prospect, the nation’s No. 18 offensive tackle and a top 200 overall recruit according to 247Sports Composite Rankings. Adding to the pain of losing Crawford’s pledge for Arkansas, the Texas native plays at a critical position of need as the Razorbacks are desperate for help on the offensive line.
While Arkansas was losing to Kentucky on Saturday, Crawford was on a visit to College Station to watch the Aggies take on Alabama. The fact that Crawford is visiting College Station suggests there’s a chance the Razorbacks could lose him to a divisional rival.
Here was Crawford’s decommitment note posted Saturday night:

The recruiting class will now be terrible. There is absolutely no reason to keep the man till the end of the season. Fire Chad Morris, fire him tonight.
I am a die-hard razorback fan but if my kid we’re coming up right now and I know he’d be playing for Chad Morris I would encourage him to look around because this guy is a moron and he’s not making anybody improve their career after football or even their football knowledge.He’s single handidly the worst coaching hire and worst coach in the history of razorback football. At least John l Smith’s dumba$$ won not 1 game but two games in the SEC In one season
Jumbo Fisher be $$$$
Now is when i start getting concerned. CCMs only strength to date has been strong recruiting… if the current class or future commitments/recruits begin to lose faith in the “vision”, then he does not stand a chance to turn this thing around. I really hope that does not become the case because i want him to succeed.
