State of the Hogs: Getting to know Hunter Yurachek, the dad and the AD

FAYETTEVILLE — Early in what was my first visit to the Arkansas athletics director's office in 10 years, it was my turn to ask about Hunter Yurachek's family.

Specifically, I wanted to know how he and his wife, Jennifer, raised three boys to be Division I football players. That's a bit presumptive because youngest son Brooks will just be an eighth grader at Woodland Junior High next fall. He's still got to make the choice between football and basketball, but most guess he'll eventually settle on football like his big brothers.

The Yuracheks' oldest son, Ryan, just finished four great years at Marshall and has a chance to make an NFL roster this summer.
