He missed the fried food and the sweet tea, yes. And being 100 miles from family is a whole lot better than 1,000.
When Toll arrived at Arkansas State University in mid-October, everything clicked for the Hazen native.
“It was just really important for me to be back home [and] to build something that the state can be proud of,” Toll said. “I was in the portal for a few months and it sucks not being a part of something bigger than yourself. I feel like it’s something great going on here.
