Make it 5: Arkansas loses commitment from 4-star 2020 ATH out of Texas
The Arkansas Razorbacks fired coach Chad Morris on Sunday after a 2-8 start to the season.
Whoever is hired to replace him will have a mess on their hands, as the Hogs have now lost 5 players from their 2020 recruiting class in the past 2 days.
On Monday night, 4-star ATH Kelvontay Dixon out of Texas became the latest decommitment, announcing his decision via Twitter:

Per the 247Sports rankings, Dixon is the No. 10 athlete in the 2020 class and the No. 36 overall recruit from the state of Texas.
The Razorbacks are now down to 9 players in their 2020 class, which currently ranks No. 77 in the nation and No. 14 in the SEC, per 247Sports.
The Hogs might not be done losing players yet, either, as Chandler Morris, a 4-star 2020 QB and son of Chad, is still part of the class.
Chandler won’t go to Arkansas. He and Chad were a package deal. He will sign with Clemson.
National recruiting rankings don’t matter, it’s the SEC rankings that tell you if you have a SEC competitive class or not. Before this kid decided to saddle his horse Arkansas was ranked 13th in the SEC. Not much difference between 13th and last now is there. Arkansas had 10 4-star recruits and got blown out at home by Western Kentucky…….the man can’t coach in the SEC , plain and simple, one less four star is just part of the deal.
you’re right he couldn’t coach. however, the recruiting he was doing in Texas is something the next coach needs to build on. Coach traylor should be a valuable asset to whoever becomes the next head coach because of his recruiting in texas.
