The Hogs are putting a nice bow on the first part of the 2025 transfer class. Two days after landing former Razorback AJ Green, Montana State tight end Rohan Jones has signed with the Razorbacks.

Jones had a solid season for the FCS national champion runner-ups. He hauled in 30 passes for 470 yards and nine touchdowns in 2024. Before his one season at Montana State, Jones spent two seasons with Maine, another FCS program, and put up 363 yards and seven touchdowns.

So far, Arkansas has opted for bigger tight ends, which, in contrast to 2024, is a much different approach. The 6-foot-3-inch junior is a smaller TE, much like former Hog Luke Hasz. With Jaden Platt's commitment in December and Jones' yesterday, Arkansas has six TEs on the roster. Only Jones and Maddox Lassiter are less than 6-foot-5-inches.

So far, the Hogs have signed 20 players from the portal. And currently, Arkansas has the No. 15 transfer class, according to 247Sports. That's excluding five players who have yet to be evaluated as transfers for the recruiting site.
