Fountain brings special teams emphasis to Arkansas

FAYETTEVILLE — All too often Arkansas fans have believed that special teams didn’t get enough attention in the recent past and contributed to a program that has won only 8 of its last 36 games.

That shouldn’t be the case under new Razorbacks coach Sam Pittman, who hired Scott Fountain to take over that role at Arkansas.

Fountain spent three years at Georgia, the last two as the special teams coordinator, and was the special teams coach and an assistant at Auburn from 2012-2016 after spending four years as the Tigers’ player personnel director.

He added a grad transfer kicker in Duke's AJ Reed on Thursday night.
