Epps was glad to hear of his 12th offer coming from the Hogs, but former Razorbacks guard Stefan Welsh, who has known Epps and his family since middle school, was thrilled.
“I’m super ecstatic,” Welsh said. “Obviously just to understand the passion that runs through Arkansas and what it is to be a Razorback. It was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had. I follow Razorback football, basketball, baseball now and even girls’ basketball. I’m a Razorback through and through. For a kid like Jayden to get an Arkansas offer, I think I’m just as happy as he is.
