FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas has added a former five-star cornerback recruit Jaheim Singletary who comes over from Georgia via the transfer portal for the Class of 2023.

Singletary, 6-2, 170, was one of the prizes of Georgia's recruiting Class of 2022. He played in two games this season for the Bulldogs before opting to enter the transfer portal on Jan. 13. He will be at Arkansas in late May or early June. He tweeted out his intentions to leave Georgia on Twitter. 

“First off, I want to thank God for everything. I want to thank my parents, family and support system for supporting me on the journey that I’m on. I want to tell my teammates I appreciate the legendary season we had. The moments captured that will never be forgotten, and the bloody Tuesdays, sweat and tears that we put into every game until the very end. I want to thank Coach Smart for giving me the opportunity to be a part of something very special. As well I want to thank my other coaches for making me better on and off the field every day as a better man and person. Last, to the UGA family, I will forever appreciate and remember how you all loved and welcomed me. The love for the community and school will always be there. With that being said I will be entering the transfer portal.”

Sam Pittman acknowledged that Singletary had signed with the Hogs following a weekend visit to Fayetteville.

“I can [talk about him now] because he’s signed his SEC agreement with us,” Pittman said. “He was here on his official visit this Sunday and Monday and left this morning. We were very fortunate … You’ll have to ask him, but I can talk about him since he’s signed his SEC agreement with us. We’re excited about him. Big-time player out of Georgia.”

Singletary played his high school football at Jacksonville (Fla.) Riverside. He had over 30 offers coming out of high school. 

Rivals.com rated him a five-star prospect, #2 cornerback prospect, #2 prospect in Florida and #10 prospect nationally. Singletary helped lead Riverside HS to a 10-2 record and FHSAA Class 6A regional semifinals in his 2021 senior season. He finished his senior season with Generals with 28 total tackles, 21 solo tackles, with seven passes defended and four interceptions.

The Razorbacks now have eight scholarships remaining in the Class of 2023.
