Star City defensive lineman Austin Capps has publicly committed to Arkansas.

He told Coach Bret Bielema of his pledge while visiting the Razorbacks on Saturday, but wanted to wait to tell his coaches and teammates this morning before going public.

He said he felt at home every time he visited Arkansas. Bielema gave him a hug when Capps told him of the commitment. Capps said defensive line coach Rory Segrest seems like coach he would like to play for. Tight ends coach Barry Lunney Jr. is his lead recruiter.

ESPN rates him a 4-star recruit and the No. 18 defensive tackle and No. 208 prospect in the nation.

Capps, who has a 390 pound bench press, 585 squat and 365 power clean, was named an Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Super Sophomore after recording 103 tackles, 31 tackles for loss, 10 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, 1 recovered fumble and 1 blocked punt.

He becomes Arkansas' No. 2 commitment for the 2016 class.
