Arkansas coaches were spread throughout Texas the day before Arkansas played Texas A&M in Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, visiting schools and taking in games of various prospects.

Highly touted linebacker Anthony Wallace was one of the players Arkansas coaches watched.

Wallace, 6-2, 227, 4.6 seconds in the 40-yard dash, of Dallas Skyline High School, has more than 20 scholarship offers, including offers from Arkansas, Oregon, Penn State, Ohio State, Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Southern Cal, UCLA and Miami.

Arkansas linebackers coach Reggie Johnson and recruiting coordinator Tim Horton were in attendance to watch Wallace and the Raiders defeat Dallas Jesuit 43-24 at Forester Stadium in Dallas.

Scout.com: Hurst L.D. Bell TE Chris Barnett verbally commits to Arkansas

It has been speculated that Barnett would sign as a package with fellow blue-chip recruit Anthony Wallace, a middle linebacker from Skyline. As of now, Wallace, No. 4 in the HSGametime area Top 100, remains uncommitted.

For Oklahoma recruit Kameel Jackson, a four-star WR out of Arlington, Texas, the pick was simple.

?I would have to say Anthony Wallace out of Dallas,? Jackson said of the linebacker, who favors Miami, Ohio State and the Sooners. ?He?s a really good player and he moves in space very well and knows how to get to the football
. I really don?t know where his head is at right now with OU, but hopefully he knows what we?re about and what could happen with a really talented class of 2011.?

Committed to Oregon per Scout $$ 11/21/2010

5-star Dallas (TX) Skyline linebacker Anthony Wallace ended his recruitment tonight and committed to Oregon. The 6-foot, 220-pound blue-chip defender spoke with Scout.com about why he pulled the trigger and pledged his services to the Pac-10 powerhouse

 

[k2onprimetime]

Wow....Thats all I have to say.

 

[Highstreet]

Where's Highstreet on this one?

Man, I wish I had more time to come back to the old stomping grounds. I thought that Wallace fit the bill of a Big 10 MLB, but I think he has been a silent commit to Oregon since about the day before an article from this inarticulate Scout writer dropped on the net...

I seem to remember Greg Powers saying on more than one occasion that he thought Wallace was all but a done deal to Oregon. Thanks for stopping by HS...

I have not seen a lot of Wallace...but I have seen a lot of Price and I know I would really like to see him in this class. I'll take either of Grant or Price and both if the OSU staff can somehow swing it.
