LOOK: The clever idea a walk-on kicker had to get Bret Bielema’s attention

At least one person is aiming to become the new kicker of the Arkansas Razorbacks.
The Razorbacks suffered a disappointing home loss Saturday to TCU by the score of 28-7. The Hogs were able to keep the score close for much of the game, but they failed to convert on red zone opportunities.
Arkansas kicker Cole Hedlund missed two field goals inside of 25 yards which would have given the Razorbacks a fighting chance in the fourth quarter. It remains to be seen what head coach Bret Bielema will do to try and correct the kicking game, but one person appears to be looking for a tryout.
Reddit CFB reports that a worker for Arkansas’ parking enforcement on campus noticed something taped to Bielema’s reserved parking space sign:

The QR code takes you to the walk-on video of kicker Samson Tamijani seen below:
Who knows, maybe Tamijani will get his shot.
