Summary
Will McEntire has been a staple in the Razorback bullpen for years. He's done it all: started, closing, relief work. Whatever the Hogs need to win the game he's willing to make it happen. The Arkansas native has been through a roller coaster of adversity during his career, from reworking his entire approach to the game after redshirting, to leading the Hogs to victory in Omaha. But, he has learned to adapt and make the most of every situation he's thrown into—a skill that has led him to rack up numbers as a reliever that rivals even the Razorback starters.
