Waco High grad in the mix for Arkansas’ defensive secondary
The Northwest Arkansas Times is doing a nine-part series on the prospects for the Arkansas Razorbacks football team this fall under new head coach Bobby Petrino. Today’s installment is part three and focuses on the defensive secondary.
Thought to be a weakness after the graduation or injury to four key players from last year’s team, the Times reports Petrino is thrilled with the prospects for the squad.
Among those he mentioned at free safety was junior Rashaad Johnson (6-1, 191) of Waco.

I believe Rashaad was a walk-on when he went to Arkansas with his brother QB Robert Johnson, also from Waco High.
Way to go!

Arkansas has been known for tapping into central texas for talent. Ex-Waco High RB Richard White was supposed to have attended their with Robert Johnson but it fell through. I guarantee if Richard White would have gotten in then it would have been Richard instead of Felix Jones @ RB with Mcfadden.

Richard White sucks!!! He can’t even get it done with the Waco Thunder semi-pro team. Felix is now pro. Richard can’s even get a college or arena team to pick him up. Richard instead of Felix….you are crazy.
