The Arkansas Razorbacks have secured a major commitment for their 2025 basketball class, landing five-star guard Meleek Thomas, one of the top recruits in the nation. Thomas, a highly sought-after prospect, chose Arkansas over powerhouse programs including Alabama, Ohio State, Kentucky, and Kansas.
A dynamic 6-foot-4 guard, Thomas is regarded as one of the best scorers in the 2025 recruiting cycle. Known for his elite athleticism, shot-making ability, and defensive prowess, he is expected to make an immediate impact for the Razorbacks. His commitment marks a significant recruiting win for Arkansas head coach John Calipari, who continues to attract top-tier talent to Fayetteville.
“I felt like Arkansas was the best place for me to grow as a player and as a person,” Thomas said in his announcement. “The coaching staff has a vision for my development, and I believe we can do something special here.”
Thomas’ decision gives Arkansas a major boost as they continue to build a highly competitive roster. His versatility allows him to play both guard positions, making him a perfect fit for Calipari’s system.
With Thomas now in the fold, the Razorbacks’ 2025 recruiting class is shaping up to be one of the best in the country. His commitment could also influence other top prospects to consider Arkansas as a serious destination.
Arkansas fans can expect to see Thomas in action when he arrives on campus next year, where he will look to help the Razorbacks contend for SEC and national championship success.
