FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS - A high school defensive end from Georgia who could see action as a Razorback as early as next fall says he chose Arkansas over Georgia Tech after an official visit to the campus here. <br>

Aaron Scranton, 6-foot-6 and 230 pounds, announced his choice Monday. <br>
<br>
Wednesday is the first day of the signing period for high school athletes. Arkansas is expecting letters of intent from more than 20 recruits. <br>
<br>
Scranton, who has a 3.6 grade-point average at Buford High School and a combined 1,200 on the SAT, said he was leaning strongly to Georgia Tech until his Jan. 25-27 visit to Fayetteville. In addition to the Yellowjackets, Scranton was recruited by LSU and other schools. <br>

He said he liked what he saw at Fayetteville the program, the coaches, and the town. <br>
<br>
``I grew up in a suburb of Philadelphia that had all the little creeks and ponds like Fayetteville,'' he said.
