Little Rock Parkview sophomore running back James Jointer has put recruiting on the back burner after suffering an ACL injury in the second game of the season.
Jointer, who received an offer from former Arkansas coach Chad Morris about a year go, estimates his knee being about 45 percent.
“We’re getting there,” Jointer said. “Once January starts I should start progressing faster. Once I get to 85 percent, I should be able to get cleared and get back on the field.”
He rushed 12 times for 131 yards and a touchdown before injuring his knee against Marion.
