Arkansas extended an offer to a second Little Rock freshman Saturday.

Little Rock Parkview running back James Jointer (6-0, 192 pounds) was offered a scholarship offer while attending Prospect Day. He is the seventh known freshman to be offered by the Razorbacks.

Offensive coordinator Joe Craddock told him of the offer.

"When he told me I thought it was a prank, it seemed unreal," Jointer said. "I was crying. I was just thinking about my teammates and my family and just thank God for the offer."

Jointer played on the freshman team at Parkview and was elevated to varsity after the season. His first varsity carry went for a 60-yard touchdown. He grew up watching the Hogs and former running back Darren McFadden.

"I told my dad and my mom," Jointer said. "My dad was happy and mom was crying."

Parkview Coach Brad Bolding heaped praise on Jointer.

"He's a very hard-working young man," Bolding said. "I’ve been blessed to coach some great players. This kid is special. He was voted on the team council by his teammates and is already is a vocal leader in practice daily. He has a great support staff at home. His mom and dad are incredible parents."

The Razorbacks also offered Joe T. Robinson freshman offensive lineman E'Marion Harris on Saturday.
