The University of Arkansas has hired Joshua Thompson away from Louisiana-Lafayette to be the new director of recruiting for football, according to a source.
He replaces Larry McDonald, who was hired in early March from Texas A&M, only to return to College Station about a month later.
Thompson, who earned a bachelor and master’s degree at Texas A&M, was the director of recruiting and football logistics for the Ragin’ Cajuns under coach Billy Napier.
