Now, it receives the recognition it deserves from the state of Arkansas.

Not only is he an Arkansas figure, but he's a national and international figure. There are significant tributes to him across the country and the world.

A person who deserves my loyalty receives it.

Everything he does he deserves. He went out and got the recognition and he worked to get noticed. I told him to enjoy every second of being recruited, because it will be the only time you get wined and dined.

It's been a thrill for us to see him finally get the recognition he deserves. He's been willing to be a team player and not be concerned with individual achievements. That's just the way he is. That's the way his mom and dad raised him to be.

We're representing a lot of groups. We're representing all the underdogs. We're representing the state of Arkansas. We're representing the Sun Belt Conference. We're representing a lot of frustrated fans for the last 30 years or so that haven't been to a bowl game.
