Warren Lumberjack senior football athlete Maddox Lassiter has been offered a preferred walk-on opportunity by Head Coach Sam Pittman to join the Arkansas Razorbacks.
The offer took place last Saturday and the 6-3 232 pound Lumberjack accepted the offer verbally.
According to a quote from the Arkansas Democrat Gazette, Lassiter stated “Coach Pitt just called me and my family into his office, and we talked for about 30 minutes, and at the end of the meeting I was pleased with his offer to be PWO cause I’ve always wanted to play for the Hogs.” According to the report, Arkansas wants Lassiter to play tight end. Lassiter was also an outstanding linebacker for Warren. He also punted.
During Lassiter’s high school career Warren made it to two state semi-finals and one quarter-final in Class 4A. The Jacks won three straight conference championships. Lassiter is an outstanding student and a very good baseball player as well.
