Third in a series previewing positions for the University of Arkansas: Cornerbacks/nickel backs
FAYETTEVILLE -- Jerry Jacobs pulled off a rare feat last winter when the Arkansas State University defensive back transferred as a graduate student to the University of Arkansas.
There have been some coaches who have worked at both schools -- Gus Malzahn, Steve Caldwell and Kevin Peoples come to mind of recent vintage -- but football players who have pulled off the Arkansas twofer are rare.
Jacobs, a product of South Cobb High in suburban Atlanta, had a couple of strong pulls that helped him trade one corner of the state for another.
