Arkansas makes pitch to in-state D-line target Davillier

Arkansas football coach Sam Pittman didn’t mince words during defensive line target Nico Davillier’s five-hour unofficial visit to Fayetteville on Wednesday.

“Coach Pittman don’t sugarcoat nothing. He said, 'Stay home,'” Davillier said. “That’s all he told me. I was just laughing. I knew he was for real, though.”

Davillier, 6-5, 275 pounds, of Maumelle, has scholarship offers from Arkansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Georgia, Auburn, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Penn State, Purdue, Tennessee and other programs.

Pittman often talks life after football.

“He always talks about real life and education and stuff after football, and Arkansas would be a great place for that,” Davillier said.
