WATCH: Future Razorback Darius Acuff puts on a clinic by dropping 22 points at JBC

Darius Acuff, the No. 9 recruit in the class of 2025 according to On3's Industry Rankings, will join the Arkansas Razorbacks next season, after he signed for John Calipari's side on July 26.

The 6-foot-1 point guard was also a part of the 2025 Jordan Brand Classic on April 12, where he showed his amazing ball handling and dribbling skills to create space from the defenders. Some of his highlights were uploaded on Instagram by the famous baskbetball page MADE Hoops on Sunday as Acuff took on top high school basketball prospects.

However, it was not enough as Team Air, led by the Duke Blue Devils signees Boozer twins, Baylor Bears signee Tounde Youssefou and Arizona Wildcats signee Brayden Burries, among others, sealed a 141-124 victory.

Acuff was helped by the No. 1 prospect in the class of 2025 and the BYU Cougars signee AJ Dybantsa, who had 25 points, nine rebounds and three assists in 27 minutes. The 6-foot-9 forward shot 10-for-19, including 28.5% on 3-pointers.
