My son is officially an Arkansas Razorback. He has his first team meeting tonight. Had his physical and medical done on Friday. Very thorough processs. Measuring in at 6’ 5 1/2” and 239lbs.
But he’s a ways away from being able to block Dallas Turner or Harold Perkins.
Arkansas isn’t elite. Would never claim that. But **** there is some good looking talent in the SEC. Watching those players walking around at breakfast this morning was incredible.
Ran into Coach Pittman on Friday morning and I was wearing my Georgia cap. He just laughed and said they’ll take it out on my son. I just agreed that was a good plan.
Getting gear and fitted for equipment at an SEC school is unbelievable. He is fitted for a helmet and then custom shoulder pads.
He then got to pick from 20 different types of Nike cleats. He has struggled with turf toe for about a year so they are custom making his right shoe.
Lives in a 4 bedroom/4 bath apartment with 3 teammates. Must be nice having your own room as a freshman.
He has a food card that allows him to eat at over 25 restaurants in Fayetteville for free. Along with the football dinning hall.
And they spend just under $1 million on snacks/drinks for the players. Just Incredible.
Gonna miss having my sweet son at home… but he is ready and I’m so incredibly proud of him.
Go Dawgs
