To be clear, this is a day of celebration for Greenwood High quarterback Kane Archer.
One of the most celebrated prep quarterbacks in the history of the state has had plenty on his plate over this last season, not least of which was grappling with the death of one of his beloved teammates while preparing for a Friday night game.
As a state, Arkansas isn’t exactly pumping out elite football players left and right, so any time a native earns a full scholarship to a major conference program, it’s a big deal. In the months leading up Archer’s Tuesday announcement of becoming the latest UCF football commit, he fell in love with the Orlando program and his potential for growth there.
