Oklahoma lineman invited to join the Hogs

Offensive lineman Walker Reed.

Offensive lineman Walker Reed and his family sat down with Arkansas offensive line Coach Sam Pittman prior to the Mississippi State game and received good news.

Reed, 6-7, 315 pounds of Norman North in Norman, Okla., was told the Hogs were offering him a chance to be a preferred walk-on.

“I was ecstatic, I was very excited because Arkansas is a place I could see myself playing in the future,” Reed said. “It’s a great program and I really like Coach Pittman.”

He impressed Pittman during an Arkansas summer camp.

“I enjoyed working with him and he enjoyed me,” Reed said. ““He’s got a good personality and I can see myself working well with him.”

Reed has a couple of DII scholarship offers and a preferred walk-on invite from LSU. He’s very fond of Oklahoma State, but the Cowboys have yet to offer a walk-on spot.

“Right now, if it was signing day, I would probably go with Arkansas,” Reed said.
