Hogs Land Tight End Cleveland

After weeks of depressing headlines on the football recruiting front, Hog fans everywhere are hoping that today's verbal commitment by Springdale (Ark.) tight end Ben Cleveland to the Razorbacks will be a turning point.

As a member of the "Springdale 5" along with consensus national player of the year Mitch Mustain, Cleveland was a big part of the Bulldogs state championship run this year.

Previously committed to Florida, Cleveland recently had a change of heart after his high school coach, Gus Malzahn, was hired as the new Razorbacks offensive coordinator.
