LR Parkview's Bennet becomes 2nd in-state freshman offered by Arkansas

Little Rock Parkview freshman running back Darien Bennet is the second freshman in the state to receive an offer from Arkansas coach Sam Pittman.

Bennett, 6-0, 215 pounds, joins teammate and sophomore running back James Jointer with an offer from the Hogs.

"He has very good speed and isn't afraid of work and loves a challenge," Parkview coach Brad Bolding said.

Bolding said Jointer and Bennett push one another.

"James and DB really push each other," Bolding said. "They will be so much ahead of everyone else because they’ve competed all through high school.
