FAYETTEVILLE — It is not often that pair of twins visit Arkansas, but two from one of the state’s best football programs recently got a look at the program.
Bryant defensive backs Kaleb and Kyle Knox are both 6-1, 185-pound defensive backs who visited Arkansas for Junior Day on March 7.
“Honestly, it was a great experience,” Kaleb said. “I love wearing their jerseys and stuff. Getting around, to knowing the coaches and seeing the facilities.”
Kaleb was impressed with new Razorbacks cornerbacks coach Sam Carter and called meeting him the highlight of his visit to a place he clearly wants to play his college football.
“He’s a character,” Kaleb said. “I like his personality and I think when I go here I’m going to love it here.”
Kyle was also thrilled with what he found in Sam Pittman’s program.
“When I first came here I knew what to expect, but I didn’t know how it would look in person,” Kyle said. “So I was just amazed and excited. Coach Pittman is really cool. Coach Carter is just funny.”
Bryant is coming off a 13-0 season in 2019 in which the Hornets won their second straight Class 7A state title.
Quarterback Austin Ledbetter, an Arkansas baseball commit, and kicker Brock Fund will also be back for the Hornets, who will enter the 2020 season on a 17-game winning streak.
“We’ve got some returning people,” Kyle said. “Some returning starters from last year, so we should be pretty good this year. We’ve just got little things to pick up, but ain’t nothing going to stop us from getting that 3-peat.”
Kaleb feels the same as his twin.
“I think we’re going to be pretty good next year,” Kaleb said. “We’ve got a few O-linemen and D-linemen. All we need is like a couple of people, like cornerbacks and safeties, and I think we’ll be good. It’s just the little things.”
