Summary

Peyton Stovall is a name Arkansas fans were familiar with before he ever reached campus. He was a top high school prospect and projected to be a first-round pick in the MLB draft. Looking at a 7-figure signing bonus, he decided to forego it all and be a Razorback. Since, Stovall has had a career of highs and lows—from leading the team to Omaha to battling through multiple injuries, he's been through it all. But, the adversity has never once made him regret his decision to become a Hog. Peyton Stovall joins the Hog Pod to discuss it all.
