His relationship with offensive line coach Sam Pittman and offensive coordinator Jim Chaney played a big role since he knew them from Tennessee. Coach Bret Bielema's track record with offensive linemen at Wisconsin also helped the Hogs.
His player-host, center Travis Swanson, and the other offensive linemen impressed him with their friendships with non-football players.
Skipper's parents, Ken and Brigid, traveled with him on his five official visits and were equally impressed with Arkansas.
