WholeHogSports.com - THE RECRUITING GUY : Speedy Texas linebacker puts Arkansas in top five

Class of 2010 offensive lineman Parker Mack, 6-5, 302, 5. 3, of Pulaski Academy picked up his second scholarship offer this week when North Carolina joined Boston College in offering. The Eagles offered in late May. Mack made an unofficial visit to Boston College two weeks ago and was able to talk to Coach Jeff Jagodzinki and offensive line coach Jack Bicknell. "When I did get the Boston College offer, I was excited, " said Mack, who reports a 295-pound bench press along with squatting 415 11 times. " I don't think there's even a word to describe it, with the opportunities it opens up." Mack said he has a 3. 6 gradepoint average and 28 ACT score. "I plan to go premed and then find a specialty that I'm interested in," Mack said. "Academics are first." Mack was born in Houston but moved to Kentucky at 10. He has lived in Arkansas since the seventh grade. Others showing interest are Northwestern, Harvard and Notre Dame. Arkansas sent a questionnaire earlier in the summer.
