FAYETTEVILLE -- Deservedly so, 5-star recruit McTelvin "Sosa" Agim of Hope has received copious attention since the Arkansas football team began spring practice last week.
Agim isn't alone as a Razorbacks freshman defensive lineman catching his coaches' eyes.
While Agim's spring progress so far lives up to his 5-star billing, freshman 3-technique defensive tackle T.J. Smith so far surpasses the 3-star tag applied to him coming out of Colquitt County High School in Moultrie, Ga.
In fact, Arkansas Coach Bret Bielema, defensive coordinator Robb Smith and defensive line coach Rory Segrest contemplated playing Smith before they played Agim.
