University of Arkansas offensive line coach Dustin Fry is a big reason why the Hogs will get an official visit from offensive lineman Brady Ward this summer.
Ward, 6-7, 310 pounds, of Mobile (Ala.) St. Paul's Episcopal has scholarship offers from Arkansas, Alabama, Oklahoma, Auburn, LSU, Iowa, Florida, Tennessee, Oregon, North Carolina and others.
He and Fry communicate on a regular basis.
"We talk every day," Ward said. "He's a relentless recruiter, but he's a good guy. Some of our talks are not about football and just our days and life. My relationship with him is a huge reason for planning an official visit.
