Fayetteville (Ark.) four-star quarterback Hank Hendrix remains one of the most sought-after prospects in the 2027 Recruiting Cycle as he gears up for his junior campaign.

Hendrix, the No. 1 overall prospect in Arkansas, continues his rise as a coveted signal-caller with the "Who's Who" of college football taking notice.

That includes Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels after the program extended a scholarship to the talented quarterback on Thursday.

Hendrix has also reeled in offers from the likes of the Arkansas Razorbacks, Michigan Wolverines, Texas Tech Raiders and Baylor Bears, among others, prior to his junior season.

The 6-foot-2, 165-pounder began his high school career at Boerne High School in Texas where his father was a highly-touted coach.

Now, his father, Che Hendrix, has joined the Arkansas Razorbacks staff where Hank has made the move to Fayetteville.

During his sophomore campaign, Hendrix completed 274 of his 389 passes for 4,237 yards, 46 touchdowns and 6 interceptions last year. He also tallied 104 yards and 1 touchdown on the ground.

Hendrix debuted on varsity as a freshman at Boerne, passing for 1,586 yards, 18 touchdowns, and 1 interception on a 70.4 completion percentage (95-for-135) in 9 games played.

He'll look to take control of his Fayetteville High's squad in 2025 with multiple Power Four programs keeping tabs on the coveted Arkansas prospect.

Hendrix is a top-five quarterback in the 2027 Recruiting Cycle, according to On3 Sports, and a Top-100 overall prospect in the class.
