FAYETTEVILLE — Cross County 4-star defensive lineman Danny Beale committed to Arkansas on Monday following the announcement of Ryan Silverfield being named the Razorbacks’ new coach.

He is the first prospect to commit to Silverfield.

Beale, 6-5 and 330 pounds, of Cross County High School in Cherry Valley, was committed to Oklahoma State in June but reopened his recruitment on Oct. 15 after the firing of Mike Gundy as the Cowboys’ head coach.

He accumulated scholarship offers from Arkansas, Georgia, Oregon, Ole Miss, Oklahoma, Missouri, Southern Cal, Mississippi State and others during the recruiting process.

ESPN rates him a 4-star recruit, the No. 7 defensive tackle and the nation's No.108 overall recruit.
