FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas formally announced the addition of three assistant football coaches Thursday.
Linebackers coach Michael Scherer, tight ends coach Cody Kennedy and defensive line coach Jermial Ashley will join receivers coach Kenny Guiton as new hires on the second-year staff of head coach Sam Pittman. Pittman and the four assistant coaches are scheduled to speak with reporters Thursday afternoon.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette previously reported the hiring of the new assistant coaches, citing sources. All have been in their new role for multiple days.
Scherer, 27, spent the 2020 season at Arkansas as an analyst and replaces Rion Rhoades, who was reassigned to a non-coaching role with the Razorbacks.
