FAYETTEVILLE — Barry Foster was looking for a place he could earn playing time as a college freshman during the 1986-87 college football recruiting cycle.
He found it with the Arkansas Razorbacks’ Flexbone offense of the Ken Hatfield era, and the quick start propelled the Texas native to a big career at the University of Arkansas and with the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he still holds rushing records for one of the NFL’s most storied franchises.
The first junior in Razorbacks history to declare for the NFL Draft is joining the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame in the April 8 induction ceremony and he’s hyped about it.
