Searcy offensive lineman Drew Vest is following his dream to be an Arkansas Razorback.
Vest (6-5, 293 pounds) was committed to Central Arkansas, but the opportunity to play for Arkansas as a preferred walk-on was too much to pass up.
“It’s been long time coming and I’ve thought about it long and hard and I prayed about it and I talked to a lot of my different mentors,” Vest said. “I couldn’t think about the aftereffects if I would’ve gone to UCA and knowingly let go of an opportunity to play for my dream school and the opportunity to play at the highest level in football, and push myself the hardest I’ve ever pushed myself.
