The Arkansas Razorbacks signed a young nose guard named Junior Soli in 1992 out of Georgia, and the Hogs are looking to ink his son 27 years later.
The elder Soli made All-SEC in 1995 while helping the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville make the SEC Championship Game against Florida. He ranks 10th in Arkansas history for tackles for losses in a season with 16.
His son, defensive end Mataio Soli, 6-3, 227 pounds, of Douglasville (Ga.) Douglas County has about 30 scholarship offers from schools such as Arkansas, Florida, Oregon, Stanford, Virginia, Vanderbilt and others.
Junior Soli said his son's recruiting process brings back memories from the time he was being pursued by schools.
