FAYETTEVILLE — It seems just like yesterday that early enrollee freshman defender Bumper Pool was arriving on the Arkansas campus to play football for his beloved Razorbacks. Now he is one the older players on the team.
Pool, now a junior, is the most experienced linebacker that Arkansas returns for next season. He's played 1,038 snaps over the course of his first two seasons.
He is excited to play for new Razorback linebackers coach Rion Rhodes, who had been the head coach at Coffeyville, Kan., Community College the last 13 seasons.
“Coach Rhoades is awesome,” Pool said during a Friday afternoon teleconference.
