FAYETTEVILLE — Ben Hicks had options when it was clear that as a senior transfer he’d have immediate eligibility if he left SMU last winter.
The starter for most of his last three seasons at SMU, Hicks picked the rebuilding project at 2-10 Arkansas. It’s the second time the Waco, Texas, product has decided to join head coach Chad Morris and quarterbacks coach Joe Craddock after a 2-10 first year.
“I guess I’m hard headed,” Hicks said, flashing a brilliant smile.
That’s one way to put it. Perhaps it might also be said he understands where the Hogs are headed because of the journey Hicks had with Morris and Craddock at SMU.
