NFL Hall of Famer Willie Roaf has selected his college offensive lineman of the year here in Arkansas and it's Harding University's Jake Mitchell. This is the third Willie Roaf Award winner from @Harding_FB@HardingU since 2013.
Jake was the driving force behind a historic Harding offense in 2025.

For the first time since 2022, @SHBearsFB is in the win column.
The Bears opened the #ARPreps football season with a stunning 55-54 win over Maumelle that came down to a final two point conversion stop with 5.4 seconds left.
A look at the final play and ensuing celebration:

After many conversations and many prayers, I have decided to enter the transfer portal with 3 years of eligibility left. I will never forget the connections that I have made at Harding University. I am excited for the next chapter, and eager for the doors that God will open.
I would like to express my gratitude to the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff football program for the opportunity to play for their team. After careful consideration,I have decided to enter the transfer portal. I am a true freshman with D1 FCS experience recruitment 100% open
So true! It takes time to get the little things right to get the big things right! Wins come with correcting little things and creating the right culture! Unfortunately people these days are impatient and want everything fixed right now.
