Offensive lineman Cole Carson didn't have high expectations early on in the recruiting process, but a scholarship offer from University of Arkansas offensive line coach Brad Davis last week changed things.
"It means a whole lot to me," Carson said. "I never would've thought that one of the biggest schools in college football --Arkansas -- would consider looking at me."
Carson, 6-6, 285 pounds, of Bogata (Texas) Rivercrest had offers from Texas- San Antonio, Louisiana-Monroe and Dartmouth prior to his offer from the Hogs.
"The first thing when I started getting into this recruiting deal, I was like, 'Dang, well I reckon I don't need to set my sights too high because I reckon I won't get noticed by those type of schools,' " Carson said.
