John Scott Jr Named Arkansas Defensive Line Coach

John Scott Jr. will be taking over the defensive line for the Arkansas Razorbacks football program. The announcement came via twitter on Tuesday at about 2:00 p.m.

The coaching search didn’t last long after former defensive line coach, Rory Segrest left the program. Some media outlets were reporting it wouldn’t take long to make the hire but I don’t think anyone expected it to be that fast.

Coach Smith has been the New York Jets defensive quality control coach since 2015. The fact that he is an NFL guy fits perfectly with the type of hires that head coach Bret Bielema likes to make.
