Relationship with Smith, early offer scores points with '21 DB

Newly offered junior defensive back Andrew Mukuba likes his relationship with Arkansas cornerbacks coach Mark Smith so much he calls Smith, “my guy."

“Every time we get on the phone, it’s not always about football,” Mukuba said. “He asks about my family and how I am doing, basically all the little things, and stuff like that matters to me. It makes me feel like he cares a lot, not just about football, but also my life.

“We have a pretty good relationship. We talk every week.”

Mukuba, 5-11, 180 pounds, of Austin (Texas) LBJ received his second offer from Arkansas on June 7.
