Former Texas A&M QB to visit Hogs

Graduate-transfer quarterback Nick Starkel plans to make official visits to Arkansas and Florida State, and will most likely make a decision soon afterward.

Starkel (6-3, 215 pounds) played in five games as a redshirt sophomore this past season after losing a preseason position battle to Kellen Mond. He completed 15 of 22 passes for 169 yards.

His prior relationships with Arkansas coach Chad Morris, offensive coordinator Joe Craddock and defensive coordinator John Chavis factored in his decision to visit Fayetteville on March 1, the opening day of the Razorbacks' spring practice.

"I’ve had a relationship with Coach Morris and Coach Craddock since high school and one of my favorite defensive coaches ever (Chavis) is also there," Starkel said.
