Have
you ever wondered when would the Sun Belt start recruiting big time recruits
well it’s been happening a little but not much. But in the coming seasons and
years start expecting more. Just the athlete did from Texas.

out for the three star Texas quarterback.

Hobbs, a 6-foot-3, 205-pound athlete from Cedar Hill,Tx is rated as a three
star signal caller by Scout.com and is ranked the No. 33 rated dual threat
quarterback in the nation.
“It
feels fantastic,” Hobbs told AStateNation Monday afternoon. “I’m about to be a
part of something special.”

Offensive Coordinator Rhett Lashlee that was a difference maker for him.
According to Hobbs, both coaches were extremely excited about the news.
Hobbs
took visits to all three of his final three favorites, Arkansas State, Nebraska
and Missouri.
“I
felt like it was time,” Hobbs said. “I have been to all the other schools, I
know what each has to offer and I truly feel that Arkansas State is best place
for me.”

admitted he was impressed on his first visit to Jonesboro.
“It
was really nice,” Hobbs said. “I was surprised by how nice everything was.”
