NORTH LITTLE ROCK — Arkansas Coach Chad Morris and a Razorbacks super fan has one of the top junior prospects in Tennessee high on the Hogs.

Highly regarded linebacker Martavius French said Morris was the first coach to reach out to him on Sept. 1, the first day college coaches could contact junior prospects.

“As soon as 12 o’clock hit that night, Coach Morris sent me an edit on Twitter with an Arkansas uniform with my number on it and French on the back of it,” French said.

French, 6-2, 236 pounds, 4.7 seconds in the 40-yard dash, has scholarship offers from Arkansas, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Florida, Memphis and others.
