🎙 THE HOG POD

In this episode of The Hog Pod, we sit down with Razorback offensive lineman Fernando Carmona Jr., whose unconventional football journey is nothing short of inspiring. Fernando shares how he started his football career late in high school, playing only seven games before injury struck. With no senior season due to COVID, he took matters into his own hands, creating and sharing recruiting highlights on social media in a bid to get noticed by college scouts.

He talks about his initial years at San Jose State, starting as a tight end, and how his path led him to Arkansas, where he’s now thriving under the guidance of offensive line legend Coach Sam Pittman. From his struggles to make a name for himself to his experience as a Razorback, this episode offers a unique glimpse into the grit and determination it takes to succeed at the highest levels of college football. Don’t miss this inspiring story of how Fernando’s perseverance and passion for the game transformed him into a key player on the Razorback squad.
