WATCH: Arkansas Razorbacks give one lucky fan a special Hog Walk experience
College football traditions are awesome, and sometimes the players and coaches can make them even more special.
One Arkansas Razorbacks fan was treated to a special experience at the first Hog Walk of 2017. It appears that nearly every player stopped to greet the fan with a hug and high five when passing by. Head coach Bret Bielema can also be seen stopping to greet the fan at the beginning of the video.
It is always good to see players show their appreciation for the fans, and hats off to the Razorbacks for providing this experience.

Well that fan was Canaan Sandy.. pretty sure he won ESPN’s Fan of the Year award or something like that. Bielema knew him pretty well as well as most of the team, I’m sure.
Yeah, he’s definitely one of our biggest fans. He even went to some of Sosa’s high school games.
And Bielema set it up for Canaan to run for a touchdown in the Red White Game a few years ago. Check out that video.
