Razorbacks Reel in Elite Talent, Solidifying Future Dominance

Landon Schaefer: The Hometown Hero

The Razorbacks have landed a true gem in Landon Schaefer, a Fayetteville native and the No. 54 overall recruit in the nation. Schaefer, a versatile infielder, has the tools to excel at either shortstop or third base at the collegiate level. His impressive blend of power, plate discipline, and defensive prowess make him a prime candidate to contribute immediately for the Hogs."I think my work ethic will transfer very smoothly whenever I get over to Coach Van Horn and his staff," Schaefer told Hawgsports.com. "I think I have set a strong baseline, and I know the coaches will help build off that."Schaefer's signing represents a significant coup for the Razorbacks, as he is the highest-ranked in-state position player to join the program since Cayden Wallace in the 2020 class. His arrival, coupled with fellow Fayetteville standouts Jaison Delamar and Mark Brissey, promises to create a formidable core for the Razorbacks in the coming years.

Mark Brissey: The Long-Awaited Commitment

For Mark Brissey, the wait has been well worth it. The Fayetteville pitcher committed to the Razorbacks all the way back in August 2021, and after a three-year journey, he has finally put pen to paper."I have been looking forward to this day for the past three years. It feels good to finally put pen to paper and make my lifelong dream official," Brissey said.Brissey's journey has been marked by growth and development, both on and off the field. He has honed his craft, adding velocity to his arsenal and refining his sinker-ball approach. The 6-foot-3 right-hander has also benefited from playing alongside future Razorbacks, including junior pitcher Gage Wood, which has pushed him to become the best version of himself."Moving schools has been challenging but it has already developed me as a player and a person," Brissey said. "Practicing alongside future Razorbacks as well as other future college players has pushed me to become the best version of myself."

Peyton Lee: The Rising Flame-Thrower

The highest-riser in the Razorbacks' 2025 class is Maumelle's Peyton Lee, a right-handed pitcher who has seen his stock soar. Lee, now ranked No. 133 overall and the 31st-best right-handed pitcher nationally, has been clocked at up to 96 mph and is eager to don the Razorback uniform."It feels great. Growing up going to Baum-Walker since I can remember to watch games and now in my senior year getting to sign, there is just no better feeling than that," Lee said.Lee's journey has been marked by perseverance and growth. After overcoming an injury, he has dedicated himself to physical and mental development, adding 20 pounds of muscle to his 6-foot-5 frame and learning valuable lessons from current Razorback freshman Tag Andrews about effective leadership."Coming off an injury has taught me so much from the mental and physical side of the game," Lee said. "Learning my body has been a big part of my progression. I have gained good weight and increased my flexibility."As the Razorbacks navigate the new roster limits rule, the 2025 class promises to be a dynamic mix of high-caliber position players and pitchers who will undoubtedly garner significant draft attention next spring. With the addition of Schaefer, Brissey, Lee, and others, the Razorbacks are poised to maintain their status as one of the nation's premier college baseball programs.
