Arkansas Razorbacks defensive coordinator Paul Rhoads and defensive line coach John Scott Jr. saw defensive line target Emmit Gooden on Monday, the first day that Hogs coaches took to the road for the spring evaluation period.
Gooden, 6-4, 320 pounds, of Independence Community College in Kansas has approximately 15 scholarship offers, including Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi State, Missouri, Georgia, Missouri and Louisville.
Gooden said he appreciated that Rhoads and Scott were the first coaches to see him during the evaluation period.
"Going into the season Arkansas was on my wish list, and Monday, the first day of evaluation period, they came by," Gooden said.
