Summary

Andrew Armstrong has had quite the journey to Arkansas and the SEC—college football’s grandest stage. Underrecruited, Armstrong went to D2 Texas A&M-Commerce… where he spent four years, but didn’t even play the first two after a redshirt season and a lost season due to Covid. Then, he excelled. Now, Armstrong has emerged as a go-to target for quarterback KJ Jefferson and the Arkansas offense. And make no mistake, this was always his plan. In this episode, we tell the story of how Andrew Armstrong is proof that no two journeys are the same.
