Pittman's first assistant hire official

FAYETTEVILLE -- New University of Arkansas Coach Sam Pittman has focused on recruiting during his first three days on the job, with the assembly of his coaching staff moving in slow increments.

But there has been movement.

Brad Davis signed an offer letter Monday that will pay him $550,000 per year to work as an assistant coach at Arkansas.

Additionally, current defensive backs coach Ron Cooper and wide receivers coach Justin Stepp joined Pittman on the road recruiting Wednesday, as has defensive line coach Steve Caldwell.

Stepp, one of the top recruiters on Chad Morris' staff the past two seasons, was ranked among the nation's top 25 recruiters by Rivals in 2019.
