FAYETTEVILLE — Although he enjoyed his time as a “coach” this spring while rehabbing an injury, Arkansas senior linebacker De’Jon Harris is pleased to be back to his playing role in preseason camp.
Harris was the SEC’s regular season leading tackler for the second year in a row last season with 118, but missed out on most of spring practice due to a nagging foot injury that required surgery.
He not only helped out his younger teammates by coaching them up, but brushed up on the mental part of his game.
“I am way more confident, especially by sitting out the spring time, so anything that I didn’t understand or just need to re-go over with Chief, I had a lot of time to do it,” Harris said.
