In Q&A, Yurachek says Hogs are in good place

Hunter Yurachek doesn’t need the elevator.

Yurachek, 52, the fourth-year athletic director at the University of Arkansas, is fit and fired up for the 2021-22 school term, and he’s got no time for the lift. He’s breezing around the Broyles Athletic Center on Friday, eight days out from the season opener against Rice, wearing his mask and taking the stairs at a healthy clip.

His nose looks almost completely healed, by the way, after taking a glancing cleat from sprawling tailback Josh Oglesby on an out-of-bounds incident Aug. 14. The cleats, signed and delivered by Oglesby, are now on a display shelf in Yurachek’s office.
