One of the more intriguing stories of Arkansas' 2018 class was the recruitment of safety signee Myles Mason and how offensive coordinator Joe Craddock was able to convince Mason to take a trip to Fayetteville thanks to a previous relationship with defensive coordinator John Chavis.
On Dec. 14, Craddock visited Hewitt-Trussville High School in Alabama to talk to Mason and extend a scholarship offer. A day later the then-Mississippi State commitment made an official visit to see the Hogs.
"That's not normal for a player to meet a coach out of the blue and get an offer and then fly up the the next day for an official visit," Hewitt-Trussville Coach Josh Floyd said.
