Williams put his musical skills on further display Friday at the Arkansas Razorback Football Kickoff Luncheon.
Our seats as presenting media sponsor put ArkansasSports360.com in perfect position to capture tight end D.J. Williams and linebacker Matt Marshall performing the Bill Withers classic “Lean on Me.” Williams, like other teams captains, was brought to the stage to answer a few questions. Emcee Jimmy Dykes then put Williams on the spot and him to play a keyboard for the crowd.
Williams obliged, but not before requesting Marshall join him. The video quality isn’t great, Marshall forgets a lyric or two, but the moment was highly entertaining.
Friday was one of those rare opportunities for folks to see players off the field and out of their helmets. Members of the team and coaching staff were seated throughout the Holiday Inn & Convention Center in Springdale, which accommodated approximately 1,000 people for the event.
Defensive end Jake Bequette, wide receivers Cobi Hamilton and Jarius Wright and student assistant Quinton Caver were seated at the ArkansasSports360.com tables. Coach Bobby Petrino, his wife, Becky and Jeff Long and his wife, Fanny, were seated at the head table along with Dykes.
Among the other highlights:
ARM STRENGTH Dykes asked Ryan Mallett how far he could throw a Hail Mary if it was needed to win the Southeastern Conference championship game in December. His response?
"If we needed 120, I could probably get it out there.”
DIGGING ON SWINE What meal does offensive lineman DeMarcus Love enjoy more than any other?
“Bacon,” offensive tackle Love said, prompting a big smile from Petrino.
