Thanks to a dominant early summer, Reggie Perry has been elevated to a five-star prospect by 247Sports and in the 247Sports Composite.

The Arkansas commit saw his national ranking in the Top247 improve 42 spots up to No. 14 on Monday. That - coupled with increases on most other recruiting services - has resulted in his 247Sports Composite national ranking also reaching No. 14, an increase of 20 spots.

If he signs with the Razorbacks, Perry would become their fifth five-star signee and fourth five-star player since 2000. He would join Bobby Portis (2013), Olu Famutimi (2003) and B.J. Young (2011). (Al Jefferson signed with Arkansas in 2004, but never made it to campus because he was a first-round NBA Draft pick.)

Perry's jump in the rankings and elevation to a five-star recruit comes after strong showings in a pair of high-profile events.

At the Pangos All-American Camp in California, he averaged 18 points on 64 percent shooting and nine rebounds in four games, earning a spot in the camp's top all-star game.

Then Perry went overseas to participate in the adidas Eurocamp in Italy. In two games, he averaged 15 points and 8.5 rebounds. Those figures ranked second and first, respectively, at the event.

A Thomasville, Ga., native, he is the lone out-of-state prospect in Arkansas' 2018 class, which is currently ranked No. 1 in the country. Four-star prospects Ethan Henderson (Little Rock Parkview) and Desi Sills (Jonesboro) and high three-star prospect Isaiah Joe (Fort Smith Northside) round out the class.

With one recruiting service - ESPN - still holding out on giving Perry a fifth star, it isn't a stretch to think he could become the highest rated player to play for the Razorbacks in the recruiting era. His 247Sports Composite grade of .9926 is already ahead of Young (.9917) and just behind Portis and Famutimi (.9932).
