FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas coach Sam Pittman announced this week that former walk-on receiver Warren Thompson was placed on scholarship.
Speaking during his weekly radio show Wednesday night at the Catfish Hole restaurant, Pittman said Thompson earned his financial aid well before his 60-yard touchdown reception during the third quarter of last weekend’s 45-10 victory over Georgia Southern.
“He got a scholarship right before school started,” Pittman said.
