Former Arkansas Razorbacks great Darren McFadden retired from the NFL in 2017, but his name still resonates with high school prospects, including a newly offered all-purpose running back.
Sophomore Brandon Campbell (5-11, 195) of Pearland, Texas, received his eighth offer from Arkansas on Monday to go along with offers from Virginia Tech, Houston, Memphis, UAB and others.
The chance to attend school where McFadden won two Doak Walker awards and was a two-time Heisman Trophy runner-up intrigues Campbell.
“He’s a beast,” said Campbell, who's looking to visit Arkansas in June. “They put a lot of running backs in the league and that made me excited because that’s what I’m looking for, and I feel like they have the right system that could fit me.
