Family feel important for Oklahoma DB

Arkansas coach Chad Morris talks to players during the third quarter of a game against Ole Miss on Saturday, Oct. 13, 2018, in Little Rock.

The family feel at the University of Arkansas has the Hogs in the running for junior cornerback Myles Slusher.

"The feeling I get when I get on campus," Slusher said, "it feels like a football family when you get to campus."

Slusher, 5-11, 175 pounds, of Broken Arrow, Okla., has scholarship offers from schools such as Arkansas, Texas, Oregon, Oklahoma State, LSU, Michigan and others. He's visited Fayetteville multiple times, with the latest being for the Alabama game Oct. 6.

Coach Chad Morris, tight ends coach Barry Lunney Jr. and cornerbacks coach Mark Smith have impressed Slusher.

"They're real down-to-earth people," Slusher said. "It's all been going well, and everything will build up relationship wise."

ESPN rates Slusher a three-star prospect, the No. 22 cornerback and No. 268 overall prospect in the 2020 class. He plans to major in business with an eye on being an entrepreneur. Slusher is aware of Arkansas' highly rated Sam M. Walton College of Business.

"I want to start something of my own," Slusher said. "Thats what I'm interested in doing."

Slusher recorded 41 tackles and four interceptions as a sophomore.

The Razorbacks appear to check the box on Slusher's main desire for a school.

"Somewhere I can find a home," he said. "Some place it feels like a home every time I'm there."
