BREAKING: Ridge Point Three-Star OL Hugh Smith Commits To Arkansas
Ridge Point three-star offensive lineman Hugh Smith has been one of the most recruited prospects in the city of Houston and today has locked in his commitment.
The 6’5 330lb OL has committed to Arkansas over Houston, and Arizona State among others.
For Smith, the relationships built between himself and offensive line coachEric Mateos really made the difference in making a commitment to the Hogs.
“Coach Mateos the O-line coach at Arkansas has been recruiting me for a year and a half since he was at Baylor and that relationship with him really was a big deal to me,” Smith said. “I love what coach Pittman and the program have to offer. The support and love you see from the town and across the State, it’s a different feeling than I’ve felt anywhere else.”
Arkansas was one of the lone SEC school’s that had an official visit set up with Smith and playing in the best conference in college football was a big draw for the talented offensive lineman.
“My goal has always been to get to the NFL and to do that you have to play the best of the best and that’s what you get in the SEC. It definitely played a big factor in my decision.”
Smith will also be going Ridge Point teammate, WR Robert Haynes IV in the Razorbacks 2026 class which is something he mentioned he’s excited about.
Now committed, Smith is ready to focus in on his Senior year and help the Panthers make a deep playoff run in 2025.
“This year has just felt different already this offseason,” Smith said. “I truly believe this is the year we can make it all the way to AT&T with the guys we have returning and the younger guys we have ready to step up.”
