6-foot-8 Alabama lineman enjoys visit

Arkansas coach Sam Pittman’s history as an offensive line coach resonates with massive junior 4-star offensive lineman Jan’Qawn McRoy, who has visited the Razorbacks twice.

McRoy, 6-8, 350 pounds, of Pinson (Ala.) Clay-Chalkville, is easily one of the three or four largest prospects to visit Arkansas in the last 15 years, and he could very well be the largest.

McRoy visited Fayetteville in June and again for the Alabama game on Oct. 1, when Arkansas hosted approximately 90 recruits. He said Pittman made him feel special before kickoff by spending time with him.

“Coach Pittman was an O-line coach, so we have that connection,” McRoy said.
