FAYETTEVILLE – Several members of the Paris Eagles football team made the trip on Friday to Fayetteville to participate in the Razorbacks football camp. The camp included coaching by the Razorbacks assistant coaches, as well as from head football coach, Sam Pittman.
In a meaningful moment before the start of camp, coach Sam Pittman addressed all of the players by saying that each year the Razorbacks make an offer from one player in their camps. He referenced his own childhood when he participated in a Razorbacks camp, but it did not work out for him. He mentioned Pittsburg State, who had coaches there in attendance, where Pittman ended up playing college football at what he described as “a good program.” He said, “My life didn’t come to an end; look at me, I’m the head coach of the Arkansas Razorbacks. Things worked out pretty good.”
The Razorbacks assistants took the campers through almost 90 minutes of warm-up and drills before a football ever made its appearance on the field. Due to rain, most of the camp was held in the Razorbacks’ indoor practice facility. In the final 40 minutes, play resumed on the outdoor practice field where video of players was taken.
Arkansas high schools are resuming summer workouts and camps and will continue to do so until June 24. All schools will then observe the Arkansas Activities Association’s mandatory “dead weeks period” where no organized workouts are allowed from June 25 – July 8.
