— Hunter Henry is a Hog.

The Pulaski Academy tight end announced that he will play for Arkansas at a Thursday afternoon news conference at the school's Alex Hugg Gymnasium.

Henry, who caught 64 passes for 1,091 yards and 16 touchdowns as a junior last season, picked the Razorbacks over offers from Alabama, Oklahoma, Vanderbilt, Stanford and Georgia.

Henry will follow in the path of his father, Mark, who was an all-Southwest Conference offensive lineman at Arkansas in the 1980's.

The 6-6, 230-pound Henry helped the Bruins to an undefeated season and a Class 4A state championships in 2011. Henry was rated the no 52 prospect in the Class of 2013 by Tom Lemming of CBS Sports Network.
