Fayetteville, AR — Consecutive official visits have culminated in a commitment: 4-star offensive lineman Bryce Gilmore has officially pledged to the Arkansas Razorbacks. The Prosper, Texas native made the announcement shortly after concluding his visit, citing an immediate sense of belonging as the key motivator behind his decision.
"I chose Arkansas because it felt like home the moment I stepped on campus,” Gilmore stated. "The culture, the fans, and the relationships I’ve built with the coaches made it an easy decision.” He expressed particular admiration for head coach Sam Pittman, offensive line coach Eric Mateos, and current Razorback offensive lineman Corey Robinson, who hosted him during his visit.
“The culture and the players made a significant impact,” noted Gilmore, highlighting the genuine connections he formed with current team members, particularly Robinson. “Corey was my guy—just chopping it up the whole visit.” This camaraderie reaffirmed his desire to contribute to the Razorbacks’ future.
Standing at 6’5" and weighing 290 pounds, Gilmore is ranked as the No. 15 offensive tackle and No. 199 prospect overall by On3.com.
