Petrino Adds Smothers to O-Line

Coach Petrino added another commitment to the 2011 Class today when Springdale OT Mitch Smothers gave his pledge to the Razorbacks. Smothers, 6-4, 290, is a big-time player, and he selected Arkansas over many major schools including SEC West Rivals Alabama and Auburn among others. Petrino is currently on a roll in committing big fellows on both sides of the ball. Many hog fans are hopeful that more good news will be coming soon with the commitment of another big-time OL recruit from Arkansas, Brey Cook also of Springdale. Both project at high four star caliber or even five star.
