Arkansas' 2027 football recruiting class is shaping up to be a strong one, with the addition of quarterback Cason Myers, a three-star prospect from Auburn, Alabama. The Razorbacks secured Myers' commitment on Wednesday, just 10 days after he completed an official visit to Fayetteville, Arkansas. This commitment comes on the heels of a similar decision by four-star quarterback Colton Nussmeier, who opted for the Georgia Bulldogs, and the announcement by three-star Brodie Campbell, who pledged to the in-state Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
Myers, standing at 6-2 and 185 pounds, has been a highly sought-after recruit since late 2023. His impressive offer list includes notable names such as Wake Forest, Cincinnati, Iowa State, Georgia State, Memphis, Tulsa, and Arkansas. Prior to his commitment, Myers was expected to visit Boston College and Cincinnati, further highlighting his status as a top prospect.
According to 247Sports, Myers is ranked as the 61st best quarterback and 40th best player overall in Alabama's 2027 class. His performance in the 2024 season, where he led his team to a 10-3 record, completed 69.9% of his passes for 2,490 yards, 19 touchdowns, and 6 interceptions, while also contributing 594 rushing yards and 7 touchdowns, showcases his versatility and potential as a dual-threat quarterback.
Myers' commitment to Arkansas is a significant development for the program. His decision comes after a positive experience on an official visit to Fayetteville, where he expressed his liking for the campus, the guys, and the coaches. The relationship he has built with the coaches and the opportunity to spend time with them over the offense are key factors in his decision.
The Razorbacks' 2027 class is well-rounded, with commitments from a variety of positions. This includes four-star wide receiver Jabari Watkins, four-star interior offensive lineman James Stewart, three-star defensive lineman Odaefe Oruru, three-star interior offensive lineman Henry Frazier, three-star interior offensive lineman Bradley Sturdivant, three-star running back Jeremiah Dent, three-star wide receiver Darion Moseley, three-star tight end Parker Keendan, three-star cornerback Zy'Corius Huzzie, three-star linebacker/hybrid Will Caston, three-star edge Keith Richmond, three-star defensive tackle Eli Thornton, and unranked specialists Rocco DePrima and punter Declan Hamm.
The addition of Myers and the other commitments strengthens Arkansas' quarterback room and adds depth to the overall roster. His decision to join the Razorbacks is a significant step in the program's recruitment efforts and sets the stage for a promising future in Fayetteville.
