Former Hog O-linemen excited by Pittman hiring

Three former Arkansas offensive line standouts are thrilled about the return of Sam Pittman to Fayetteville as the Hogs’ head coach.

Former All SEC center Travis Swanson played four years with the Detroit Lions and one with the Miami Dolphins before announcing his retirement from the NFL in the spring.

He played for Pittman for only one season in 2013 before being drafted by the Lions in the third round of the 2014 draft. He made an tweet endorsing Pittman after the firing of Chad Morris as the Arkansas coach.

“I sent out that tweet out back in early November because he was the first guy I thought of when I saw they let Morris go,” Swanson said.
