Two more former Hogs drafted by start-up league

A trio of players from one of Arkansas' best teams are once again teammates.

Linebacker Alonzo Highsmith and defensive back Jerico Nelson were drafted Thursday by the same start-up Major League Football team that picked wide receiver Joe Adams first overall Wednesday.

All three players were on the Razorbacks' 2011 team that won the Cotton Bowl and was ranked No. 5 in the final AP poll.

They'll be reunited on a team coached by former Dallas Cowboys head coach Dave Campo. The locations of the eight MLFB teams have not been announced, but it has been reported that the league is eyeing Little Rock as a potential home for one of the franchises.
