New Arkansas coaches impress returning players

FAYETTEVILLE — While Arkansas is not getting to have spring practice, Razorbacks players have seen enough to be excited about their new coaching staff.

Freshman safety Jalen Catalon (5-10, 198) has been impressed with the tone new coach Sam Pittman set from the beginning.

“It’s definitely a transition, but I think that’s what builds us so strong is you have the older guys who have been through it before to give us some guiding points and lead us through it all,” Catalon said on a Friday afternoon teleconference. “I think the staff came in and Coach Pittman did a really good job of just emphasizing what he’s about and making sure we understand that he loves every single person on the team.
