Arkansas signed 30 players for the 2011 recruiting class.

National Signing Day is here.

Below we take a look at the players expected to make up Arkansas' class thanks to the Rivals.com database and our friends at HawgSports.com. Players in bold are known to have signed their letters of intent.

Heading into the day, the Razorbacks were ranked No. 23 nationally and No. 8 in the SEC by Rivals.com.

That puts them behind Alabama (No. 1), LSU (No. 4), Auburn (No. 6), Georgia (No. 7), Tennessee (No. 14), Florida (No. 16) and Ole Miss (No. 17) in the SEC. Scout.com has the class ranked No. 15, but No. 7 in the SEC. ESPN considers the Razorbacks No. 17 overall and sixth in the league.

Arkansas finished the season 10-3 with a Sugar Bowl appearance.
