Billy "BJ" Ferrell, a 6-foot-3, 331-pound defensive tackle from Fordyce (Ark.) has picked up a fourth star and now checks in as the No. 2 prospect in the state of Arkansas.

Ferrell signed with the Arkansas Razorbacks in December.

Ferrell is a freak athlete for a big man, who displayed that athleticism as a senior at Fordyce with 63 tackles, including eight tackles for loss, four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries on defense to go along with 12 kick returns for 419 yards and 136 yards rushing and three TDs. A multi-sport athlete Ferrell also plays first base for his high school baseball team.

"BJ Ferrell is a young man that we offered when we first got here," Chad Morris said during his signing day press conference. "I am really excited about him, his size, his athleticism from Fordyce. I think we saw some clips of him playing running back and a big man like that playing running back with his skill set, we are real excited about him."

Ferrell chose the Razorbacks over offers from schools like Alabama, Wisconsin, Louisville, Memphis, Colorado State and others.

247Sports' Evaluation: Ferrell is a beast up front with the size to come in to a college program and have the adequate size and strength to compete. Some of the things that he does is not natural for a guy with his size and mass. Ferrell could stand to trim up and cut some weight moving forward, but should have no problem being an athletic gap-plugger who will make plays against the run and be a linebacker's best friend as he chews up blockers.
