82. Marvin Caston: An Unexpected Ride

The Hog Pod with Bo Mattingly ·

2020/10/14

There’s something to be said for the “pull” of the Razorbacks. You come to the University of Arkansas from outside the state, and you end up never wanting to leave. And in Marvin Caston’s case, that’s exactly what happened, even though he didn’t know it at the time. Caston is the product of hard work growing up in northern Louisiana. He worked from a young age to help provide for his family, and football provided a way to have some fun. And though his Razorback career wouldn’t get off to the best of

81. Madre Hill: Rescuing a Program

The Hog Pod with Bo Mattingly ·

2020/10/07

In many ways, Madre Hill helped save Arkansas football. It’s no secret the Razorbacks struggled in their last years in the Southwest Conference and the SEC had proven to be a challenge. Enter Hill. Considered the top running back prospect in the nation after a record-setting career at Malvern High, he had offers from all the big-time programs. But he chose Arkansas because he wanted to help rescue the program. And when Hill got his chance as a sophomore, he was as good as advertised. He ran for what

80. Ryan Mallett: Right QB at the Right Time

The Hog Pod with Bo Mattingly ·

2020/09/30

Ryan Mallett is one of the best players in Razorback history. But his college career didn’t start with the Razorbacks and from his perspective, there was a good reason why. Mallett’s talent was evident at a young age. Michigan was the first to take notice and eventually earned Mallett’s commitment, but after the legendary Lloyd Carr retired, Mallett’s boyhood dream of becoming a Hog began to look like more of a reality. After sitting out a year because of transfer rules, it became clear that Ryan

79. Feleipe Franks: Ready for Redemption

The Hog Pod with Bo Mattingly ·

2020/09/23

To say it was a long and winding road that brought Feleipe Franks to Arkansas might be an understatement. Born into a military family and raised on farm tending to horses, values matter to Franks…even though past perception might be different. After originally committing to LSU, Franks ended up at Florida. He spilt time starting as a redshirt freshman, and then found success in 2018—leading the Gators to a Peach Bowl win. But questions about his maturity lingered. Then…heartbreak. In the third game

78. Get to Know: Parker Goins

The Hog Pod with Bo Mattingly ·

2020/09/16

She’s one of the best players for a nationally ranked Arkansas women’s soccer program. She’s been named to an All-SEC First Team, and is a constant scoring threat. But Parker Goins almost didn’t end up at Arkansas. Recruited by soccer powerhouse North Carolina—a program that’s won 21 of 31 national titles—why did Goins choose the on-the-rise Razorbacks? Friendship played a key role there, as it does throughout her story. Goins only started playing soccer because she wanted to spend time with her

77. Scott Fountain: Special Teams Savant

The Hog Pod with Bo Mattingly ·

2020/09/09

He’s regarded as a special teams savant, and one of the hardest workers in the business. And he just so happens to be Sam Pittman’s assistant head coach and special teams coordinator. Scott Fountain has been a part of four teams that have played for national titles, and has played a key role as a special teams coordinator for some unforgettable moments, including the "Kick Six." Along the way, he’s coached alongside some of game’s best coaches, including Bobby Bowden, Mark Richt, Gene Chizik and

BONUS: Arkansas' Covid-19 Response

The Hog Pod with Bo Mattingly ·

2020/09/04

Dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic has become part of everyday life. And its impact on sports has been undeniable, with cancellations and postponements of major events and leagues dominating the headlines. And just like any other college or university with an eye on playing football—and other sports—this fall, the University of Arkansas has taken steps to make its student-athletes, coaches and staff members as safe as possible. In this bonus episode of the podcast, we catch up with Arkansas

76. Rakeem Boyd: Comeback Kid

The Hog Pod with Bo Mattingly ·

2020/09/02

Arkansas has a long history of producing great running backs. And Rakeem Boyd is no exception. His career average of 6.17 yards per carry would rank second in school history among running backs, behind only Felix Jones. And only three running backs in Arkansas history rushed for more yards through their first two seasons than Boyd: Dickey Morton, Alex Collins and Darren McFadden. The McFadden comparisons come naturally: Boyd wears his No. 5, and has made no secret of the fact that he wants to be

75. Anthony Lucas: Overcoming Obstacles

The Hog Pod with Bo Mattingly ·

2020/08/26

Anthony Lucas was ahead of his time. The talented receiver made big play after big play and rewrote the Arkansas record books in the late ‘90s. Those records would stand until the age of wide-open offense came to college football. And yet he still holds the career record for most 100-yard receiving games. He’s one of the greats. But how much did he have to overcome to get there? Lucas didn’t have a good enough ACT score to qualify out of high school. But instead of going the JUCO route, he went

74. Ken Hamlin: Almost Losing It All

The Hog Pod with Bo Mattingly ·

2020/08/19

Ken “The Hammer” Hamlin definitely earned his nickname. Hamlin was a nightmare for opposing wide receivers, who knew that if they ventured into Hamlin’s part of the field, they better brace for impact. He was an incredible athlete who found success at Arkansas, where he left as the school’s all-time tackles leader and was beloved by fans for his hard hits and energy. After leaving the Razorbacks following his junior season, he would become a second-round draft pick by the Seahawks, and would go on

73. Keith Burns: Code Red

The Hog Pod with Bo Mattingly ·

2020/08/12

1998 was an exciting year for Razorback fans. Led by first-year coach Houston Nutt, the Hogs put a much-needed jolt of excitement into the fan base. A big part of that was Arkansas’ Code Red defense, led by first-year coordinator Keith Burns. But Code Red was more than a scheme—it was a way of life. And Burns was the perfect guy to lead it. For Burns, his passion for the Razorbacks began during his playing career under Lou Holtz in the early ‘80s. That passion is what led him to leave USC and join

72. Rion Rhoades: From JUCO to the SEC

The Hog Pod with Bo Mattingly ·

2020/08/05

Junior college football is the place where urban legends are born. Some of the best—past and present—went to a JUCO, including guys like Aaron Rodgers, Warren Moon and Cam Newton. And while JUCO football was brought more into the mainstream by the Netflix series “Last Chance U,” it isn’t exactly glamorous. Just ask new Arkansas linebackers coach Rion Rhoades. Rhoades spent the past 14 seasons as a JUCO head coach, including 13 years at Hutchinson Community College. He’s seen it all. But how does a

2020/07/29

Thirty years ago, something happened that would change the course of Arkansas athletics forever—the Razorbacks left the Southwest Conference for the SEC. It’s a move that has been a boon for the Razorbacks—not only did they join what’s become the best conference in collegiate athletics, but the financial benefits have allowed Arkansas to be nationally competitive with some of the best facilities in the country. But the move didn’t happen overnight. It took thought, planning and vision from legendary

2020/07/22

Basketball has taken David Patrick all over the world—literally. Born in Bermuda, Patrick grew up in Australia, where he discovered the game that would change his life. A high school move to America helped him catch the eye of coaches, and he would be part of a Final Four team at Syracuse before transferring to Louisiana-Lafayette to finish his college career. Then, it was on to a pro career that would take him to Australia, England and Spain. But along the way, he never had plans on being a coach

69. Tyler Wilson

The Hog Pod with Bo Mattingly ·

2020/07/15

Tyler Wilson was always talented. He set records in high school as a quarterback and pitcher at Greenwood High School. Then, he came to Arkansas and rewrote the record books. After playing briefly as a true freshman in 2008, Wilson sat for two years behind Ryan Mallett, but burst onto the scene against Auburn in 2010 after an injury to the starter. And then in 2011, he quarterbacked Arkansas to its first 11-win season since 1977, and entered 2012 as one of the top QBs in the country. And though

BONUS: Shauna Taylor, Maria Fassi & Gaby Lopez

The Hog Pod with Bo Mattingly ·

2020/07/10

Under head coach Shauna Taylor, the Arkansas women's golf program has become one of the most successful teams on campus. Two of the biggest reasons why? Gaby Lopez and Maria Fassi. Though both hail from Mexico, Arkansas quickly became a second home. First for Lopez, who would win three times in college and become a two-time All-American, and has since won twice on the LPGA Tour. And then for Fassi, who would help the Razorbacks win their first SEC title in 2018 and then win the NCAA individual title

68. Travis Swanson

The Hog Pod with Bo Mattingly ·

2020/07/08

Travis Swanson holds a rare distinction in Razorback football history: He’s one of only a handful of guys who played for three different head coaches in his Arkansas career. Recruited by Bobby Petrino, Swanson was the starting center for the most successful two-year stretch in program history. But by the time Petrino was gone, Swanson still had two years of eligibility, meaning he played for both John L. Smith and Bret Bielema, as well. Despite the Razorbacks going just 7-17 over his final two

2020/07/01

For most football players, making it to the NFL is the high point of their careers. Then again, Jake Bequette isn’t like most football players. Sure, his football life reads like a movie script: He was a third generation Razorback from Little Rock who ended up playing a vital role on teams that went 21-5 over a two-year stretch. And perhaps the program’s biggest win in the SEC era—against LSU to clinch a Sugar Bowl berth—came in his hometown, in the stadium where he played in high school. He topped
