Arkansas Coach Bret Bielema has added Allen (Texas) Lovejoy 4-star linebacker Bumper Pool to its Class of 2018 commitment list. Pool becomes the second commitment for the Hogs in that class joining Greenwood (Ark.) 4-star quarterback Connor Noland.

Pool chose the Hogs over some impressive offers from such schools as Alabama, Texas A&M, Michigan, LSU, TCU and many others. He has attended all the football games in Fayetteville this season with the exception of one.

Pool had an impressive junior season including one game when Hawgs247's Andrew Hutchinson was in attendance. Pool is expected to compete for instant playing time when he gets to Fayetteville.

His Crystal Ball had three picks and all were for the Razorbacks. He has several family ties to the University of Arkansas. Bielema and his staff did an outstanding job building off those ties. Noland and Pool have also become very close friends.

Pool has a grade of 93 with the 247Composite, No. 154 in the Top247, No. 5 inside linebacker in nation and No. 17 prospect in Texas in 2018.
