Reason for Choosing Arkansas

“I choose Arkansas because it provides you all the resources a student-athlete needs. Even seeing the facilities online was enough for me to understand that this is the right place for me. The moment you commit you become a member of this team and it becomes your family. Meeting the coaches and learning their coaching philosophies was an other reason I choose the University of Arkansas.”
