RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. – Coming off the first winning season since 2017 in just the first season under head coach Roy Thompson, the Arkansas Tech football team showed no signs of slowing down and hit the recruiting trail hard, securing a sizable and talented signing class for the upcoming 2026 season.
 
"We are excited about the group of athletes that are joining the Wonder Boy family," commented Thompson. "This is a talent-rich group of guys who will be a big part of our success as we continue to build the premier program in the GAC and nationally."
 
The state producing the most future Wonder Boys was right here in Arkansas as Thompson and his staff's 2026 signing class features only 16 players from outside the Natural State. The reach, however, did extend to bordering states such as Louisiana, Tennessee and Texas as well as Florida.
