Transfer portal madness may be dominating the headlines this offseason, but Sam Pittman has also quietly rewarded a pair of loyal in-state Razorbacks, Best of Arkansas Sports has learned.
Tight end Maddox Lassiter and offensive lineman Brooks Edmonson, who joined the Arkansas football program as walk-ons from Warren and Bryant, respectively, have been placed on scholarship.
While some programs like to produce elaborate videos for such occasions, it has always been Pittman’s policy to do it behind closed doors so as not to hurt the feelings of other walk-ons.
BoAS was first told of the news earlier in the week.
