2026 safety Keivay Foster decommits from Arkansas

hunterby: Hunter Shelton4 hours agoHunterShelton_

Muscle Shoals (Ala.) three-star safety Keivay Foster is the latest to decommit from Arkansas and new head coach Ryan Silverfield. He told Rivals’ Haydn Hollin on Tuesday that he’s now back on the board 24 hours from National Signing Day.

Foster was pledged to the Razorbacks since June 15, but is now the latest change in the SEC program’s 2026 recruiting class across the last couple of days.

Foster is the No. 808 overall prospect and No. 76 safety in the 2026 cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 31 recruit in Alabama.

The 6-foot-4 defensive back joins three-star offensive tackle Ashley Walker, three-star interior offensive lineman Ari Slocum and three-star defensive lineman Ashton Dawson, all of whom decommitted from the Hogs on Monday.

Mississippi State and Missouri were among Foster’s other offers prior to choosing Arkansas this summer. The changes in Fayetteville have led to myriad commitments and decommitments for Silverfield.

Arkansas gets slew of commitments on Monday

The Razorbacks have rallied the in-state troops in a big way ahead of National Signing Day. All four commits yesterday hail from the Natural State.

Wynne Cross County four-star DL Danny Beale III decommitted from Oklahoma State after the firing of Mike Gundy. Mizzou was trending earlier in the fall, but he was the first to lock in with Arkansas on Monday. He’s the No. 199 overall prospect and No. 23 DL in the nation.

Bryant High School teammates TJ Hodges and Jakore Smith are now staying home, too. Hodges, a four-star running back prospect, flipped from Mizzou. Smith, a three-star linebacker, recently decommitted from Oklahoma.

Later on Monday evening, Little Rock Central three-star DL Anthony Kennedy Jr. joined the fold. He quietly decommitted from Miami last week and is also a former Mizzou commit.

The Arkansas class is now back down to 13 total commits and ranks No. 59 nationally, per the Rivals Industry Team Recruiting Rankings. It had cracked the top 50 prior to the string of three-star decommitments. The full class can be seen here.
