Description

Razorback linebacker Xavian Sorey takes us inside his journey from being a highly rated recruit at Georgia to a nervous transfer looking for a fresh start in Fayetteville. He opens up about the challenges of rebuilding his confidence, how Coach T-Will's belief in him changed his game, and what it means to lead by example on and off the field. Sorey reflects on his Florida upbringing, the competitive fire that fuels him, and the lessons he's learned about finding your "why" and playing with an edge. Now a leader on Arkansas' defense, he shares his ultimate goal—to be the best linebacker to ever play the game—and why he's determined to put on for the state of Arkansas. From backyard games as a kid to SEC battles under the lights, this is the story of grit, growth, and a relentless drive to go all out, every snap.
