Hogs Losing Madden Iamaleava to UCLA Brings Up Arkansas’ Mitch Mustain “Trade” with USC

It took nearly a decade, but Madden Iamaleava finally gave Ricky Town some company on an ignominious list of Arkansas football “greats.”

You are forgiven if that latter name doesn’t immediately ring a bell. After all, much like the freshman who bailed on the Razorbacks and entered the transfer portal Monday, the one-time five-star quarterback never took a snap during his two seasons with the Razorbacks.

When he showed up on campus in the fall of 2015, though, it was a big deal.

Town was a ballyhooed recruit who graduated early and enrolled at USC in the spring of what should have been his senior year of high school, back when such a move was still a novelty.
