Highly regarded junior linebacker Martavius French told how Arkansas Coach Chad Morris and superfan Canaan Sandy have effected his thinking about the Razorbacks on Recruiting Thursday.
French, 6-2, 236 pounds, 4.7 seconds in the 40-yard dash, of Memphis Whitehaven has scholarship offers from Arkansas, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Florida, Memphis and others. Morris was the first coach to make contact with him Sept. 1, the first day coaches could reach out to junior prospects.
"I was so happy because Coach Morris sent me an edit, and it had French on it with number 22 on it like running on to the field. That was my first ever college edit, and it was like so cool to have. I instantly made it my home screen on my phone."
