Having fun in Houston Kendall Evans of Dallas, the granddaughter of Camden's Bill Morrison, gives a high five to Arkansas linebacker Martrell Spaight following the Razorbacks' 31-7 win over the Texas Longhorns in the Texas Bowl.  

Arkansas linebacker Martrell Spaight became an All SEC performer and an NFL combine invitee because a work ethic that's second to none. He and the other linebackers will do their on-field workouts at the NFL combine on Sunday.

Before arriving in Fayetteville, Spaight, 6-0, 232 pounds played at North Little Rock and was a two-time All American at Coffeyville Community College in Kansas.

A day before he committed to the Razorbacks on Dec. 19, 2012, Spaight went through a workout at North Little Rock's weight room and showed a small sampling of his desire to be the best.
