University of Arkansas defensive line coach Jermial Ashley has made an early connection with sophomore defensive lineman David Stone.
“Real recognizes real, and we were talking about stuff that you need in life as a man and not just football,” Stone said.
Stone, 6-5, 255 pounds, of Del City, Okla., has scholarship offers from Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M, Wisconsin, Oklahoma State, Iowa State and others.
Ashley stays in tune with Stone’s accomplishments, including outstanding performances during spring and summer camps against other top prospects.
“He’s a great man, honestly,” Stone said of Ashley. "He’s seen and heard so many great things about me and how well I preformed.
