Vest's Razorback dream gets closer to reality

Searcy offensive lineman Drew Vest is officially visiting his new home in Fayetteville this weekend and will be back with all his stuff next month.

Vest (6-5, 295), who will enroll at Arkansas in January, is one of seven official visitors the Razorbacks are scheduled to host this weekend.

He made the decision last month to decommit from the University of Central Arkansas and turn down numerous other scholarship offers and instead take a spot as a preferred walk-on with the Razorbacks.

“The main thing it came down to - and I hate to say this but it is true - is that I am not going to have to worry about money because of my grades,” Vest said in noting he would be receiving academic scholarships.
