The recent flooding in south Texas has had an affect on a few of the Arkansas football players getting ready for Thursday’s opener against Florida A&M.
Including starting running back Devwah Whaley.
“He’s assured me everything is good and he’s ready to rock and roll,” Bielema told Matt Jones of WholeHogSports.com earlier today. “He’ll do everything he can to honor his family by the way he plays, I’m sure.”
Other players from cities affected by the flooding include:
• Defensive end Brandon DePrato, Cypress
• Defensive back Ryder Lucas, The Woodlands
• Running back Connor McPherson, The Woodlands
• Defensive end Jonathan Marshall, Shepherd
“Our kids, their concerns are always with their loved ones,” Bielema told WholeHogSports.com. “It’s just a lot of things to navigate through. We’re working with the university to see if there is anything we can – and as a head coach, anything I can do, we’re going to do that.”
