Texas RB, Hogs start long-distance relationship

Running back King Doerue already had 15 scholarship offers before a surprising offer from the Arkansas Razorbacks on Friday.

"It was nice getting the Arkansas offer," Doerue said. "I'm blessed with the opportunity. I was extremely happy. It surprised me really because it's pretty far away. I didn't expect it, but I was real happy they're recruiting me from that far and found me. It was a blessing."

Doerue, 6-0, 207 pounds, of Amarillo (Texas) Tascosa also has offers from schools such as Texas A&M, Baylor, Texas Tech, Nebraska, Ole Miss, TCU and others. He has some former teammates that attend the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville that have told him positive things.
