FAYETTEVILLE — If Adou Thiero returns to campus to be recognized during an Arkansas football game this fall, the Los Angeles Lakers’ most recent second-round pick still won’t be able to escape the shadow of his new team.
Depending on how things shake out during fall camp, there’s a chance the Razorbacks trot out an offensive line that features a Kobe and a Shaq playing side by side.
While it was Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal who helped Los Angeles become the last three-peat NBA champion, it’s a pair of redshirt freshmen – Kobe Branham and Shaq McRoy – who could solidify the right side of Arkansas’ offensive line in 2025.
