Darius Acuff Jr., rated as a five-star recruit, the No. 1 point guard and No. 4 overall prospect in the Class of 2025 per 247Sports, officially committed to play for John Calipari at Arkansas on Friday.

Calipari, who left Kentucky for Arkansas in April, landed his first 2025 recruit with the Razorbacks since signing a five-year contract worth $7 million per season.

Acuff, who announced his decision on YouTube, chose the Razorbacks over Kansas and Michigan. The 6-3, 180-pound Detroit native is also a composite five-star recruit, per 247Sports.

Acuff had trimmed his list to Arkansas, Kansas, Michigan and UConn at the end of June, then removed the two-time defending national champions before Friday’s announcement.

“My official visit went well. I have a good relationship with John Calipari,” Acuff told 247Sports. “I took a visit to Kentucky and I took a visit to Arkansas. Nothing was different but the schools. It was a great visit. Coach Cal is a great guard coach. Most of his guards are in the (NBA).”
