ATLANTA — Arkansas Razorbacks linebacker Dre Greenlaw, a senior from Fayetteville, tweeted Tuesday that he has officially been adopted by Brian and Nanci Early.
The Earlys have been listed as Greenlaw’s parents since his playing days at Fayetteville High School.
“Officially ‘adopted’ and part of the family!” Greenlaw tweeted. “Was family anyways man paper don’t make a difference! Thank you for taking me in Pops and treating me like your own!!”
Brian Early, the defensive line coach at Arkansas State University, previously was a quality control coach for the Razorbacks and defensive coordinator at Fayetteville.
“I could have already been adopted when I was 14, when I was first taken in,” Greenlaw said.
