Gerry Bohanon

Earle (Ark.) High Top247 quarterback Gerry Bohanon took his first visit to Baylor this week.

The top signal-caller on the board as summer comes to an end for Matt Rhule and his staff, the four-star recruit left Waco feeling good about the Bears.

"That visit was honestly like no other seriously," Bohanon said. He's fresh off trips to Ole Miss and Louisville as well. "The best visit I've ever taken. I feel the love at Baylor."

247Sports ranks Bohanon as the No. 1 recruit in Arkansas, the nation's No. 8 dual-threat passer and No. 222 prospect overall. He's the only quarterback the Bears are currently pursuing.

"I felt more wanted than ever," he said. "I felt that I was a priority. The players were great and every person I walked by literally knew who I was. The people impressed me so much."

Arkansas is also in play for Bohanon who could be close to ending his recruitment.

"I could commit somewhere soon," Bohanon said.

And Baylor's chances?

"They're a real contender."
