FAYETTEVILLE — University of Arkansas safety Simeon Blair could have been patrolling the other secondary in Saturday’s game at Little Rock’s War Memorial Stadium if he had stayed home for college.
Blair, a standout at Pine Bluff High School, was offered a scholarship by the hometown Golden Lions of Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
“I gave it a little thought,” Blair said on Tuesday. “Arkansas ended up telling me how I could work for a scholarship, and I felt that would be a great choice for me.”
The redshirt junior took that choice and charted a course for earning a scholarship offer.
