Report: Top RB backs off his Arkansas verbal commitment
On Thursday, Arkansas suffered a bit of bad news on the recruiting trail.
According to a report from 247Sports, 4-star running back Chase Hayden has dropped his pledge to the Razorbacks’ program. He will visit Michigan this weekend — with a potential Wolverine commitment looming.
Arkansas does have another running back committed for this class (Maleek Williams). Regardless, losing Hayden is a blow. The Tennessee native is an explosive athlete with very good top-end speed.
UPDATE:
I did not decommit!

Hayden has denied the report published by 247Sports.
I still wish UT would have pursued him a little harder. He was a 3 star I think but he definitely looked like a high 4 star guy to me by his film.
He just confirmed a fake report via Twitter
Obviously, he watched the A&M game and became concerned that we can’t develop an offensive line. Can’t run if no one can block. Can’t even score from the 1 yard line in 4 attempts.
Because 1 bad game against a top 5 DE pick shows we can’t develop an offensive line very well…
That’s abit drastic verdict on a young oline, with 3 new starters? Against what most believe is the two best de combo in the country!
I’ll just stick with past performance by that staff and feel pretty secure the arky oline will mature and get better!
Its not beneath a Michigan homer at a site to stir the pot a little. Its also not beneath these sports reporters to make stuff up out of thin air and light fires that didnt exist just to cause stuff to happen.
