Several media outlets are reporting Randy Shannon will leave Arkansas and join the coaching staff at Florida.

In addition to the reports, some Florida coaches are telling some prospects that Shannon will be on the staff. Arkansas nor Florida have made an official announcement.

Linebacker Rayshad Jackson of Miami Norland said Shannon leaving Arkansas would have no impact on him.

Linebacker James King of Miami Washington said Shannon leaving would change his thinking of Arkansas a little bit but he still plans to visit and hopefully make a connection with one of the coaches like he did with Shannon. Razorback offensive lineman Denver Kirkland attended Washington high school.

Cornerback Jeremiah Dinson of Miami American said he doesn't know how Shannon's leaving would impact his interest in the Hogs. He said he and Shannon were close and he was the main reason for considering Arkansas.

Arkansas Coach Bret Bielema, defensive cooridnator Robb Smith and Shannon recruited linebacker commitment Derrick Graham of Wauchula ((Fla.) Hardee. It's not known how he would react if Shannon left the Arkansas staff.
