Hogs turn to JUCO transfer to take over additional long-snapping duties.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Just one day before Arkansas was set to kick off its 2024 season, its special teams unit is going through some last-minute changes. Presumptive starting long snapper Eli Stein is no longer with the team, coach Sam Pittman confirmed on the weekly SEC coaches teleconference Wednesday.
Stein had started 23 of the 25 games over the past 2 years at long snapper since arriving at Arkansas. He had also been named to the Patrick Mannelly Award Watch List for the second year in a row, an annual award given to the top long snapper in the country. "Ngo was our starter at punt snapping anyway," Pittman said. "It was a very close battle with the short snapping, so he was gonna be that regardless of what happened and certainly will take over the short snapping as well."
