[/quote]And remind people how many players get that honor and how many players we have that have made it to that level. Sosa and Whaley might be the only two I know of right now on our roster, but I might be missing some one.

Brian Wallace made one of the AA games, he announced for the Hogs at the game. We also had a guy from CA (I think he was a punter) that made the AA game (I think it was the Army). I believe there was a few more. Maybe someone knows more.
But that is a big deal for the program, and especially for an in state Arkansas player.

Whaley wasn’t an Arkansas native
The punter was Blake Johnson, a current redshirt freshman set to take over for Toby Baker next season and who has punted in a game this season.

[/quote]Everyone is aware of that, and thanks for reinforcing the original statement of this being a big deal for an Arkansan, or it is to me at least. Congrats Montaric.
