Just hours before his team takes on arch-rival Longview, Marshall 2020 wide receiver Savion Williams reported his first offer from a Power 5 conference program.

Williams (6-5, 170) announced via Twitter that Arkansas offered Friday afternoon.

The Mavs' receiver also holds FBS offers from Bowling Green, Southern Miss, and Texas State.

In last week's season opener, Williams caught just two passes but both went for 27-yard touchdowns as Marshall earned a 42-29 victory of Tyler Lee.

Williams is part of a trio of Marshall receivers, who hold FBS offers. Seniors Tahj Washington and De'Kendrick Bender are also Division I targets. Marshall 2020 QB JJ Green and 2019 OL Christian Hood have also received D-I offers.

Chad Morris, an East Texas native and former SMU coach, is in his first season at the helm in Arkansas. He brought with him an assistant coach that also has ties to East Texas in Jeff Traylor, who won three state championships as head coach at Gilmer from 2000-14.

Arkansas won its season opener, 55-20, over Eastern Illinois last weekend. The Razorbacks play at Colorado State on Saturday.

Williams, like all juniors, is first eligible to sign with any program that offers him in December of 2019.
