Arkansas landed the commitment of defensive lineman Andy Boykin on Sunday in large part because of his relationship with Coach Sam Pittman.
Boykin, 6-3, 301, of LaGrange (Ga.) Troup County had accumulated more than 25 scholarship offers during the recruiting process. Georgia, Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee and Florida were just some of the offers.
"At the end of the day, you have to find the one fit, and I think Arkansas and Coach Pittman is the one fit," Troup County Coach Tanner Glisson said. "Coach Pittman knew him and had a relationship with him being from Georgia."
Glisson was hired in 2015 and has seen numerous coaches come through the doors of the school.
