Big Ten football offer leaves Arkansas baseball commit bewildered

FAYETTEVILLE — Jacob Nesbit had a surprise awaiting him when he returned to his home in Coppell, Texas, earlier this week.

Nesbit, a shortstop committed to Arkansas in the class of 2017, had gone with his parents to help his older sister move in to her dorm in Kansas. At his home was an envelope from the University of Indiana.

Inside the envelope was an offer letter to play football for the Hoosiers.

Most surprising about the offer was the fact that Nesbit hasn't played football in nearly two years. He quit the team to focus on baseball following the 2014 season.
