FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas sophomore guard Cade Arbogast, who joined the program prior to this season as a walk-on, has been placed on scholarship.
In a video posted to Razorbacks coach Eric Musselman's Twitter account on Friday, Arbogast went through a defensive drill during practice inside Bud Walton Arena, and Musselman made the announcement in front of the team when he was finished.
Teammates mobbed Arbogast in celebration.
"Culture. Energy. Effort. Enthusiasm," Musselman tweeted. "You can see by his teammates reaction how important he is to this team!"
A native of Concord, Calif., Arbogast has appeared in two games this season (Elon, Missouri) and played two minutes. He is 0 of 2 from three-point range.
Arbogast played high school basketball at De La Salle (Calif.) for Justin Argenal, the brother of Arkansas assistant coach Gus Argenal. He also spent one season at Lane (Ore.) Community College and his freshman year at Oregon.
