New head coach Ryan Silverfield and the new-look Hogs have now landed four in-state commitments on Monday, building on a class that has jumped 20 spots in the Rivals Industry Team Recruiting Rankings.
Kennedy had been committed to Miami since June, but the two quietly parted ways over Thanksgiving week. Arkansas became an option once more for the 6-foot-4, 200-pounder and he’s now set to stay in-state alongside a host of others.
