Memphis linebacker finds connection with Chavis

Linebacker Eli Neal attended camp at the University of Arkansas in June and because of his performance, he receiver a scholarship offer from the Hogs on Aug. 7.

Being able to work and learn from defensive coordinator John Chavis highlighted his two-day visit to Fayetteville.

"This offer actually means a whole lot to me," Neal said. "Coach Chavis was able to tell me things that was wrong about my game that I thought only I knew. He was able to help me fix it. So we were clicking like I had known him my whole life and I had just met him.
