Ties that bind: Legacy players feel deep connection to Razorbacks

FAYETTEVILLE — Families will gather this week to carry out traditions that in some cases have been handed down for generations.

For many members of the Arkansas football team, family tradition extends to the field.

There are at least a dozen legacy players at Arkansas this year - the second - and in some cases the third, fourth or fifth - member of their family to play sports for the Razorbacks, primarily football.

The deep connection between this year’s team and Razorback teams of the past was displayed in the final drive of Arkansas’ game at LSU last week when quarterback Jack Lindsey threw passes intended for John David White, Hudson Henry and Koilan Jackson.
