Dacula star pledges to Petrino

Khiry Battle is officially off the fence. The Dacula running back signed with Arkansas late Wednesday, fulfilling his commitment to the Razorbacks despite the departure of coach Houston Nutt.
Battle was strongly considering an offer from Ole Miss, where Nutt is now the head coach. Dacula coach Kevin Maloof said Battle was “torn” over the decision and did not sign at school this morning as planned.
But he later attended a ceremony at the ESPN Zone in Buckhead, and is now listed as a signee on Arkansas’s athletics Web site.
Battle could not be reached for comment.
