Arkansas defensive line commitments Bijhon Jackson and JaMario Bell said they talked to defensive line coach Rory Segrest on Thursday.
Jackson of El Dorado said he and Segrest talked for a few minutes and Segrest was someone he would like to be around. Segrest told Jackson that he planned to come see him as soon as possible.
Bell, a junior from Junction City, said Segrest was a laid back guy who knows what it takes to produce a dominate defensive line.
2015 defensive end commitment Hjalte Froholdt of Denmark said the following about Segrest- "Well he seems like an awesome guy. But can't really say before i've met him. But he has a lot of experience, both in college and in the pros. Which i think is awesome."
