FAYETTEVILLE -- The University of Arkansas landed a graduate transfer quarterback it had been seeking Monday when former SMU standout Ben Hicks announced he would play his final year with the Razorbacks.
Hicks, 6-2, 220 pounds, will reunite with Arkansas Coach Chad Morris and coordinator Joe Craddock, who recruited him to SMU in 2015 out of Waco (Texas) Midway.
"The opportunity was too good of an opportunity, and I feel like it wasn't one I could pass up," Hicks said. "Come back and play for Coach Morris and coach Craddock and play in the SEC and try and help the Razorbacks and help the team win games.
