FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas defensive line coach Deke Adams was trying to get in contact with Florida’s defensive end Justus Boone in the transfer portal. But Boone said he had two phone numbers at the time, so he wasn’t receiving the incoming calls.
“Two is crazy, wow,” fifth-year defensive tackle Cam Ball said Thursday.
Luckily, Adams and Boone’s quality control coach at Florida, Kali James, were mutual friends. So, aside from the initial questions about Boone, James pointed him in the right direction. Adams called him while he was visiting Oklahoma State and soon he toured Fayetteville.
He had technically seen it before — on video.
