St. John visited Arkansas the Jan. 17-19 weekend. He hasn’t visited another school since that time. He was committed to Missouri, but decommitted when Barry Odom was fired. He was recruited to the Tigers by Brad Davis, who is now the offensive line coach at Arkansas.
He’s rated a four-star with Rivals and a three-star with ESPN and the 247Composite. He holds approximately 20 scholarship offers. In addition to Arkansas and Missouri, other SEC offers are Ole Miss, Auburn, Tennessee and Mississippi State.
