FAYETTEVILLE — Sorry, Kane Archer. It turns out Arkansas football made an even younger offer.

Nearly a year before the Razorbacks went viral for extending a scholarship to the 13-year-old phenom in 2021, someone else with Greenwood bloodlines received one while still in diapers.

With all due respect to the UCF commit, Archer — who was an eighth grader with no varsity snaps at the time of his offer — has nothing on Bowen Neighbors.

The son of former Arkansas women’s basketball coach Mike Neighbors got his offer the day before he turned 5 months old, immediately after his dad sent a photo showing all of his rather large baby rolls to Sam Pittman.
