This is a great story. My father just passed away two months ago at 89 years old. I know what a close relationship with an older man who is a mentor means to a man of any age - especially a younger man. I wish Brey a great career as a Razorback and his grandfather many happy experiences ahead with all of the young people he has the opportunity to influence.

Tremendous story. What a high quality young man and there's no doubt that his grandfather has played a very prominent role.
