Arkansas Razorbacks running back Kody Walker has been granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA and will be able to play in both 2015 and 2016. The university made the announcement, which was reported by John Taylor of NBC Sports’ College Football Talk.
Naturally, Hogs coach Bret Bielema was ecstatic over the news.
“We are very excited to have Kody with us for an additional season,” said head coach Bret Bielema in a statement. “Adversity has defined him throughout his career and he has championed the moment. Every person on our staff and every player in our locker room is pulling for Kody to succeed and we expect him to be a major contributor to our football team these next two years.
