Former Fayetteville stars pitted against each other Friday

FAYETTEVILLE — It will be a post-Thanksgiving showcase of Fayetteville talent in Little Rock on Friday at 1:30 p.m. when Arkansas hosts Missouri at War Memorial Stadium.

The Razorbacks may start former Purple'Dog and Springdale quarterback Jack Lindsey (6-2, 204) behind Fayetteville-born center Ty Clary while Lindsey could have former Purple'Dog wide receiver Tyson Morris as one of his weapons.

Missouri boasts a trio of former Fayetteville stars in quarterback Taylor Powell (6-2, 210), wide receiver Barrett Banister (6-0, 190) and defensive lineman Akial Byers (6-4, 280).

“We were a really close team in high school,” Clary said Tuesday.
