Former Arkansas lineman Brian Wallace dies at 26 after heart attack

Former Arkansas offensive lineman Brian Wallace died Friday. He was 26.

Arkansas announced Wallace's death Friday afternoon. He had been hospitalized in St. Louis.

Wallace's father Brian Wallace Sr. told Pig Trail Nation earlier in the week that his son had suffered a heart attack after having trouble breathing at work on Monday. Wallace's father said that Brian then suffered another heart attack at the hospital and was in a coma and unable to breathe on his own.

Thursday morning, Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman had asked for prayers for Wallace and his family.
