The Arkansas Razorbacks have landed a major addition to their 2025 recruiting class, securing a commitment from elite four-star cornerback Jontavius Wyman, the No. 14 overall prospect in the nation. Wyman, who had offers from powerhouse programs such as Texas, Florida State, Tennessee, and Ole Miss, ultimately chose the Razorbacks in a surprising decision that strengthens Arkansas’ defensive future.
The 6-foot-1, 185-pound defensive back out of Atlanta, Georgia, is widely regarded as one of the most physical and technically skilled corners in the 2025 class. His combination of speed, instincts, and ball-hawking ability made him one of the most sought-after defensive recruits in the country.
Wyman’s commitment marks a significant recruiting victory for head coach Sam Pittman and defensive coordinator Travis Williams, who prioritized Wyman as a cornerstone piece for Arkansas’ secondary. The Razorbacks have struggled with depth in the defensive backfield in recent years, making Wyman’s pledge a crucial step toward improvement in the ultra-competitive SEC.
“Arkansas felt like home,” Wyman said in his announcement. “The coaches have been real with me from the start, and I believe in what they’re building. I’m ready to be a part of something special.”
With Wyman in the fold, Arkansas now boasts one of its strongest recruiting classes in recent history. His commitment also gives the Razorbacks momentum on the recruiting trail, potentially influencing other top prospects to follow.
Beating out programs like Texas and Florida State for Wyman’s signature underscores Arkansas’ growing reputation as a program on the rise. With his talent and leadership potential, Wyman could make an immediate impact in Fayetteville when he arrives in 2025.
