Former Arkansas and Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt will be inducted into the Cotton Bowl Hall of Fame in May.
The exact date has not been finalized.
Nutt led the Razorbacks to Cotton Bowl appearances in 2000 and 2002, including a 27-6 win over Texas in 2000, in which Arkansas became the first team to ever hold the Longhorns to negative rushing yards in a game.
Arkansas also appeared in the 2008 Cotton Bowl, but Nutt did not coach in the game.
Nutt is one of five coaches to lead more than one school to the bowl. He also took Ole Miss to back-to-back Cotton Bowls in 2009-10 against Texas Tech and Oklahoma State, winning both.
The former coach and current college football analyst led Arkansas to 75 wins in 10 seasons and an appearance in the 2006 Southeastern Conference Championship Game.
Nutt will be the sixth Arkansas player or coach inducted into the bowl’s Hall of Fame, joining Frank Broyles, Lance Alworth, Fred Marshall, Jim Williams and Loyd Phillips.
