FAYETTEVILLE -- Offensive lineman Deion Malone found out during his official recruiting visit to Arkansas in December that if he signed with the Razorbacks, Sam Pittman wouldn't be his position coach.

Pittman, Arkansas' offensive line coach the previous three seasons, had visited Malone earlier in the week at Northwest Mississippi Community College along with Razorbacks Coach Bret Bielema.
