FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas’ football roster includes two players who grew up more than 11,330 miles apart.
Mitchell Loewen from Maui, Hawaii, and Hjalte Froholdt from, Svendborg, Denmark, join players from 15 other U.S. states, including New Jersey, Florida, Minnesota, California and Colorado, on the roster.
But one group of nine Razorbacks traveled the shortest distance.
The Fayetteville Hogs played their high school home games at Harmon Field, a half-mile from Reynolds Razorback Stadium, where Arkansas takes on Tennessee-Martin at 3 p.m. today.
“When you play at Fayetteville, your dream is to play at Arkansas,” said Razorbacks senior deep snapper Drew Gorton, who played quarterback and receiver for the Bulldogs.
