In 2006, one of the few 5-star caliber quarterbacks that the state of Arkansas has ever produced committed to play for the Michigan Wolverines.
That was Ryan Mallett, arguably the most naturally gifted native Arkansan ever when it comes to pure pocket passing.
Fast forward 15 years, and history may be repeating itself.
On Friday, the Michigan football program offered a scholarship to Kane Archer, a 13-year-old who has already shown potential to one day join Mallett and Mitch Mustain as the state’s only five-star quarterbacks in the modern era.
Archer is a nearly 6’0″ 172-pound Greenwood, Ark.
