The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports that Illinois assistant Terry Hawthorne will also be joining the Razorback staff. A former Illinois defensive back, Hawthorne has been on Bret Bielema’s staff as the director of high school personnel and Illini relations. Hawthorne was a 5th-round NFL Draft pick in 2013 by the Pittsburgh Steelers and later played in the CFL. Hawthorne will reportedly be a defensive quality control analyst for the Hogs.
