Northwest Arkansas sees a large number people moving into the area for jobs, and because of that Bentonville has added a Power 5 prospect to its roster.
Junior offensive lineman Joey Su’a started as a freshman and sophomore for Adelanto High School in California and now lives in Bentonville after his mother transferred to work in logistics in Walmart’s E-commerce division.
“It worked out good for the Bentonville Tigers,” Coach Jody Grant said. “He’s a 2023 kid. He’ll be a junior this year. Very talented young man from what we’re seeing so far."
Su’a, 6-5, 319 pounds, has offers from Georgia, Michigan State, Maryland, Fresno State, BYU and other programs.
