FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- College football's early signing period began Wednesday, and Arkansas football signed 16 of its 17 commits.

The only holdout was three-star safety Jeremy Cook. The Alabama native committed to Arkansas on July 31.

The Razorbacks had three signees inside the top-150 of the 247sports Composite rankings. Some of the biggest wins in the Arkansas football recruiting class came at defensive line, quarterback and in the secondary.

The Razorbacks' recruiting efforts took a pair of big hits leading up to the start of the signing period. Pine Bluff's Courtney Crutchfield, a four-star wide receiver, committed to Missouri over Arkansas. Additionally, four-star running back Jadan Baugh backed off his commitment from Arkansas and appears headed for either Florida or Alabama.
