Very deserving.

Didn't hv also help Austin Cantrell to a POY win?  There's probably more. Does anyone know?

[TrueBlue]

Congrats! I have a feeling there are many more awards and accolades to come!!

Yes and no... We played by the rules and the OK Vype Owner decided to change the rules after the voting was over and give it to another player going to an OK School.

Btw, the voting wasn't even close.... I'm sure someone will come along and further fill in the details but those are the broad strokes.  :razorback:

That pretty much sums it up, Cantrell won the voting by a landslide, nearly 3 to 1.  At one point they even mysteriously extended the voting, I guess hoping the other guy would catch up.  In the end, they posted some lame excuse about how even though Cantrell won the public vote, he wasn't really eligible for the award.

Great article.

Welcome to the hogs where men become UNCOMMON! Thanks for your family joining the hog family.

[jgphillips3]

Congrats!  Glad to help.

I'd love to see that excuse.

[Pig in the Pokey]

I'd love to see that excuse.

The website still says Cantrell was "The People's Champ".

[greenie]

This is all similar to the feeling I had when Alex was on his way to Fayetteville.  Exciting!

[TDHawgs]

WPS!! Congrats Devwah Whaley on winning!!

[staffhog]

Uncle T, tell Devwah that he gained an additional family when he signed with Hogs and we are all very proud of him.  We can't wait until he puts on those pads and steps out on the field @RRS.  WOOOOOOOOOOOO PIGGGGGGGGG.

[Arkamedes]

Congratulations, Devwah and family! We do like to support our Hogs! Woo Pig!

[Iwastherein1969]

no rush to start this kid...he will be put into situations where the defenses have tired legs and will be able to show his unique talents in open space...no need to make the kid do the hard running between the tackles right now as we have Cody Walker to handle those chores....this young man may not have quite the wiggle that Alex had but neither will this kid get caught from behind as Alex did on occasion...Devwah reminds me of a stronger Felix Jones....this kid has a bright future ahead of him as long as he stays out of CBB's 'dog house' and listens to and abides by Coach Herbert's conditioning regimen....the sky is the limit, young man

[SamBuckhart]

Congratulations, Mr. Whaley. Wooo Pig!

I get where you are coming from, but...

I think DW's freshman season is going to be exactly like AC's. Hopefully RWIII can become JWill. I like Kody, but he hasn't proven he can stay on the field. Or juke someone for big gains. When CBB says DW has the potential to be his best back ever then I feel CBB is going to get him on the field early.

Just like RWIII, DW seems to have the family foundation to keep his head on straight. I think he can handle the pressure of being needed early in the season. The good ones usually thrive on that kind of pressure.

Let's get excited!

DW reminds me more of DMac. He seems to run angry, and it appears he has similar speed. TJ reminds me a lot of Felix. He has that wiggle and quickness. I could definitely handle another duo like that in the backfield. Wishful thinking, I know, but I think they both have that kind of potential.

I think Dmac is a pretty good comparison. DW's highlight video shows he isn't going down with a one arm tackle and has incredible balance.

[PorkRinds]

Has Devwah decided on a number? Is he going to try to keep 12?  Love this kid. He runs like an animal.

[HogMantheIntruder]

Agreed. And there's something intangible there as well. It's like every time he runs he fully expects to take it to the house. He seems to will himself through tackles and hits that would bring most running backs down. It's like he just can't accept that he's been tackled. Very reminiscent of DMac. I know the comparison puts a lot on a kid who hasn't played a down of college football, but he's got that "it" factor.

And let's be real, I know it's not popular to say anything positive about fan bases (including our own), but this is Arkansas, and one thing we do know is running backs, and it's just about a consensus among us that he's going to be a great one. I can't wait to watch it unfold.

Is it September yet?

  If I'm not mistaken, he posted on twitter that he was going to wear #21, but I'm sure Terry will know.   WPS    :razorback: :razorback: :razorback: :razorback: :razorback: :razorback:   GHG

21

[bondhue]

Congratulations young man.   One of many awards to come.  I'll be on the edge of my seat for his first game as a Hog.

Mary and Steven actually dated when they were high schoolers in Beaumont themselves, but Mary called off the relationship when she thought it was interfering with her prolific track career.

"He was a senior; I was a sophomore," Mary recalled. "My coach said I needed to stay focused."

SEC intriguing freshmen: Arkansas Razorbacks

RB Devwah Whaley

Whaley, the No. 6 running back in the 2016 recruiting class, is a summer enrollee but has a chance for early playing time... Whaley, whom Bielema called one of the most impressive running backs he signed in his career, has a good chance to be an instant-impact player.

McTelvin "Sosa" Agim is also featured

Number 21 has a great history.  Most notable to me was "Lighthorse" Harry Jones racing with blazing speed on sweep plays.

Whaley, from Beaumont, Texas, was one of the most highly-recruited running backs in the recruiting class of 2016, choosing to play at Arkansas over offers from the likes of Alabama, Georgia, Notre Dame, Oklahoma and Texas, among many others. With record setter Alex Collins now playing for the Seattle Seahawks, Whaley will have every opportunity to be Arkansas' top rusher as a true freshman. He'll compete with Rawleigh Williams III and Kody Walker for that title, and there's little doubt that Whaley has the most upside among the three.

In each of Bret Bielema's 10 seasons as a head coach — seven at Wisconsin and three at Arkansas — he's had a 1,000-yard rusher...

[DOGALUM]

Doesn't he just look like a great guy?

Already one of my favorite current hogs.

[gmarv]

that's awesome news congrats Devwah.

[longpig]

I'd love to see that excuse.

Mobilehoma has an excuse for everything.

[Hawgzinbowlz]

We're ready to watch him do work behind our HOG OL. "GO HOGS"

[jgphillips3]

I'm thinking he goes for at least 1,300 yards this year.  Looking forward to seeing him running through that "A" for the first time.

[Pig in the Pokey]

that would equal Madre Hill's sophmore effort. We get that from Whaley and AA isn't a literal pick-6machine than we will be a 9-10 win team.
