Former Horn pledge eyeing Hogs

Arkansas Assistant Coach Joel Thomas works with the Razorbacks during practice on Saturday, March 30, 2013 in Fayetteville.

Former Texas commitment and running back Daniel Gresham said he's considering Arkansas along with Tennessee, Miami, Florida State, Alabama, Louisville, Ole Miss and Auburn after recently rescinding his pledge to the Longhorns. He said he's been talking to Hogs running backs coach Joel Thomas the last few days and is looking forward to him visiting his school next week.

He visited for the 2011 Tennessee game and when Joe Adams had that great punt return. The wild game atmosphere impressed him.

Gresham, 5-10, 228 pounds of Fort Worth All Saints Episcopal rushed 86 times for 979 yards and 18 touchdowns in 10 games last year. He knows of Coach Bret Bielema' track record with running backs and that helps his interest in the Hogs. He plans to narrow his list to five schools soon.
