DE-LB Porter Gustin of Salem Hills, Utah

"Ya that dude can throw dimes. I have never seen an oline that can throw with so much touch. Glad they aren't recruiting me as QB. Sebastian might be pushing for the starting role."

QB Ty Storey of Charleston

"It was awesome to see him throw the touchdown. That always makes the game fun when you have trick plays like that. It also helps recruiting. I think all offensive lineman dream of scoring a touchdown. I've never seen one throw for one."

OL Jalen Merrick of New Smyrna Beach, Fla.

"Sebastian for Heisman"

Junior DE McTevin Agim of Hope.

"That was crazy. It's something that helps the team's confidence going into the next couple of weeks."

S Kahlil Haughton of Waco Midway

"I thought it was awesome! Haha at first I wasn't sure if what I saw was right, but that's awesome for him and that they allowed him to do that."

OL Pat Allen of Reisterstown, Md.

"It was funny and cool."

LB Jordon Williams of Houston Jersey Village

"Execution was really good, usually when you run plays like that they're hit or miss, and the times Arkansas has done trickery they're successful. Great discipline!"

S-LB Dre Greenlaw of Fayetteville

"Just want coach B to know I can throw a little bit too lol So I'll be expecting one of those too! But that's awesome for him to be abled to be creative and put somebody out there that size and run the play successfully!"

OL Zach Rogers of Carrollton, (Texas) Hebron

"Pretty awesome. They've run a couple trick plays this year but that one is my favorite so far. It was an inspiration to O-lineman every where."

DL Hjalte Froholdt of Bradenton, (Fla.) IMG Academy

"I think it is amazing! I also think it is a genius play, made by the coaches! And of course great execution by Tretola, especially not freaking out because of the oncoming defenders, and just loop it over them! Thrilling to watch! And there's 3 parts to a football game. Offense, Defense, and special teams! And Arkansas really utilizes that third part, which can really give an edge in tough games."

Junior WR Jordan Jones of Smackover.

"When I saw it I was like what in the world is he thinking then he caught it in the end zone all I could do was laugh lol."

Sophomore OL Jack Anderson of Frisco, Texas

"That's awesome.I think it's cool that if I played there I could have oppurtunity to do more then just block. Ha."
