FAYETTEVILLE — Weston Dacus has two things going for him that no other Arkansas football player can claim A quarterback sack in the 2007 season; A public endorsement from Gov. Mike Beebe.
That’s not to say the governor wouldn’t voice a stamp of approval on any number of Razorbacks, such as star tailback Darren McFadden, whose exploits have attracted untold national attention for Arkansas football.
It’s just that Beebe and Dacus are home boys from Country Club Circle in Searcy.
“He had a son [Kyle ] who was three or four years older than I was,” Dacus said. “He kind of joined in our backyard football we had down in the neighborhood.” Paraphrasing Beebe’s comments as master of ceremonies during the Razorbacks’ Hall of Honor induction banquet on Aug. 31, who knew that the little neighborhood kid would grow into a big, strong young man who could now run through a wall ?
“It’s pretty cool he can talk of me like that, knowing he’s got so much power,” Dacus said.
