STAR CITY — Star City defensive lineman Austin Capps signed his national letter of intent to play with the University of Arkansas on Wednesday.

Capps was joined by his family, friends, Star City football teammates and community members at Los Toritos, a Mexican restaurant in Star City. He had orally committed to the Razorbacks in March 2015 and was the second player to commit in the Class of 2016 behind Smackover wide receiver Jordan Jones.

"It's a dream come true," Capps said. "I get to play for a dream college. You couldn't ask for much more."

In his senior season, Capps had 86 tackles, including 17 for a loss, and 5 sacks for the Bulldogs, who went 9-4 and advanced to the Class 4A quarterfinals. He was named to the All Arkansas Preps Arkansas Democrat-Gazette's first team.
