Arkansas Lands Commitment from 4-Star In-State Offensive Lineman Carius Curne
The Arkansas Razorbacks have scored a significant recruiting win with the commitment of 4-star offensive lineman Carius Curne from the Class of 2025. Curne, an in-state standout and one of the top linemen in the country, chose to stay home and represent the Razorbacks despite receiving offers from several powerhouse programs across the nation.
This commitment further solidifies Arkansasā strategy under head coach Sam Pittman of locking down elite local talent while building one of the most formidable offensive lines in the SEC.
Curne, a 6-foot-5, 305-pound offensive tackle from Little Rock, Arkansas, is ranked among the top offensive linemen in the 2025 class and the No. 1 offensive lineman in the state. Known for his raw power, quick footwork, and relentless drive, Curne has drawn comparisons to some of the greats who have played the position in college football.
During his junior season, he anchored an offensive line that led his high school team to a state championship appearance. His ability to dominate in both pass protection and the run game earned him offers from programs such as Alabama, Texas A&M, and Georgia, making his decision to stay in Arkansas all the more meaningful.
āArkansas is home,ā Curne said during his announcement. āThe coaching staff, the fans, and the community made me feel like Iām part of something special. I want to represent this state and bring a championship to Fayetteville.ā
Curneās decision to commit to the Razorbacks was influenced by a combination of factors, including his connection to the coaching staff and the opportunity to play in front of his home-state fans. Offensive line coach Cody Kennedy and head coach Sam Pittman, both known for their expertise in developing elite linemen, played pivotal roles in his recruitment.
āCoach Pittmanās history of coaching offensive linemen is unmatched,ā Curne explained. āHe knows what it takes to succeed at the highest level, and I trust that heāll help me reach my full potential.ā
The Razorbacksā recent investments in their football facilities and their vision for the programās future also resonated with Curne. Add to that the allure of competing in the SEC, and Arkansas presented an opportunity he couldnāt pass up.
Curneās commitment is a cornerstone addition to Arkansasā 2025 recruiting class, which is shaping up to be one of the best in recent years. As a 4-star offensive lineman, Curne brings both talent and leadership to a unit that is critical to the Razorbacksā success in the SEC.
Arkansas has long been known for producing standout offensive linemen, and Curne has the potential to be the next great Razorback in the trenches. His decision to stay home also sets a precedent for other in-state recruits, further strengthening the programās recruiting efforts.
Curne isnāt just a force on the field; heās also a respected leader in his community. His work ethic, humility, and drive to succeed have earned him admiration from teammates, coaches, and opponents alike.
āI want to be a role model for younger players in Arkansas,ā Curne said. āThis state has given me so much, and I want to give back by helping the Razorbacks succeed and inspiring others to chase their dreams.ā
As Curne prepares for his senior season of high school football, heās already focused on what lies ahead in Fayetteville. He plans to enroll early at Arkansas to get a head start on learning the playbook and adapting to the college level.
For the Razorbacks, landing Carius Curne is a testament to the programās growing momentum under Sam Pittman. With his size, skill, and determination, Curne has the potential to become a foundational piece of Arkansasā offensive line and a leader in their quest for SEC success.
Arkansas fans have every reason to be excited about this in-state commitment. Carius Curne isnāt just staying homeāheās staying to make an impact, and his journey as a Razorback is just beginning.
