FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Before stepping foot on campus or even meeting head coach Dave Van Horn in person, Nebraska transfer pitcher Koty Frank decided to make Arkansas his new home.

What would normally be an uneducated decision to jump the gun and commit, proved to be a well thought-out choice for Frank, who announced he was transferring to Arkansas on July 2.

”It was more of just going a little bit off of a gut feeling, just knowing that that’s where I wanted to be, and that’s where I felt drawn to,” Frank said.
