Hogs high on Burgess

Lake Hamilton junior offensive lineman Will Burgess is one of the top prospects in the state, but is basically unknown to recruiting services.

Burgess, 6-4, 340 pounds was unsure where he stood with Arkansas until visiting Fayetteville on Saturday and meeting with Coach Bret Bielema and offensive line coach Kurt Anderson.

“He doesn't care if you’re a 5-star, 4-star or 3-star,” Burgess said of Anderson. “He told he just cares if he can see if you can play football and if you will fit in at Arkansas.”

He learned the Hogs thought well of him.

“They told me they were very, very high on me like me a lot,” said Burgess, who’s also drawing interest from Arkansas State and Memphis.
