Morris visit wins over commit and parents

Arkansas Coach Chad Morris made a strong impression on defensive line commit Isaiah Nichols and his parents during an in-home visit Sunday.

Nichols said he and his parents liked what they heard from Morris.

“We have a lot of the same morals and values in our families,” Nichols said. “I love the kind of coach he is. He’s high energy, he expects players to grow outside of football, spiritual, academically, socially.”

Nichols (6-3, 265 pounds) of Springdale had more than a dozen scholarship offers from schools such as Missouri, North Carolina State, Indiana, Kansas, Memphis, Tulsa when he pledged to the Hogs in the summer.
