FAYETTEVILLE — Mike Woods thought he’d be playing catch with Ben Hicks as a true freshman when he picked his college late in the junior year as a high-schooler at Magnolia, Texas.
The Houston area wide receiver didn’t know it would eventually be at a school a few hundred miles farther north.
Hicks is now the quarterback at Arkansas, after both followed Chad Morris, Joe Craddock and Justin Stepp from SMU to Arkansas.
Morris is the head coach who committed both Hicks and Woods to Arkansas. Craddock coaches the quarterbacks and is offensive coordinator. Stepp is the wide receiver coach.
