FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas landed one of the state’s best athletes Saturday while he was still on an official visit to Fayetteville.
Watson Chapel’s Kevin Compton (6-3, 170 pounds, 4.5 seconds in the 40-yard dash), who had an eye-opening 10 interceptions as a junior in 2018, announced via Twitter that he was going to accept a preferred walk-on spot with the Razorbacks.
“First off, I would like thank God for putting me in this position, thankful for my family and friends for always supporting me throughout this long journey,” Compton wrote. “Coach Sam Pittman gave me the opportunity to play for home State and I am truly blessed…"
Pittman offered Compton the preferred walk-on spot Dec.
