For the second time in three days, Arkansas football has added an important piece to its 2026 recruiting class.
And this time, the Hogs landed a double-dip out of Oklahoma.
Sooner-state natives Colton Yarbrough and Adam Auston both committed to the Razorbacks Saturday. Yarbrough is a four-star edge who chose the Hogs over Colorado, Georgia, LSU and Oklahoma State, while Auston is a three-star safety who had Oklahoma State, Missouri, Kansas State and Baylor in his top-five.

Together, they are the fourth and fifth additions to the Razorbacks’ 2026 class, and Yarbrough is the highest-ranked recruit of the bunch. On Thursday, Arkansas received a commitment from quarterback Jayvon Gilmore out of South Carolina.
According to the 247Sports Composite, Yarbrough is the 16th-ranked edge rusher in the country and the No. 191 player overall. He played a variety of positions during his sophomore season at Durant High School, including tight end, edge, defensive line, and linebacker.

Auston ranks as the No. 34 safety and the 393rd-ranked player overall in the country.
The other commits currently in the Razorbacks 2026 class are California safety Tay Lockett and Hot Springs offensive lineman Tucker Young.
Yarbrough adds to an impressive list of edge recruits under defensive line coach Deke Adams. Over the past three recruiting cycles, Adams has added four-star prospects Quincy Rhodes, Charleston Collins, Kavion Henderson and Yarbrough.
