HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) – He helped lead the Hartselle High baseball team to a Class 6A State Championship, and currently has the Tigers football team undefeated and in the State Playoff quarterfinals as the starting Quarterback. Senior Jack Smith made it official, signing a letter of intent to play collegiate baseball for the Arkansas Razorbacks as a pitcher.

“I’d always admired how Arkansas had that winning culture,” Smith said during his ceremony. “And so when they called me and asked if I wanted to take a visit, I jumped at the first chance I could get.

Smith will join a Razorbacks program that’s made 11 College World Series appearances.

“I fell in love with it as soon as I got down there,” Smith added. “It’ll be awesome. I’m very excited to be able to play for Arkansas and play in front of my family and friends.”
