It's not often that you find a third generation Razorback who also happens to be a 4-star linebacker living an hour and a half away from the Arkansas border, but Bret Bielema found that when he and his staff offered Bumper Pool. Pool grew up dreaming of becoming a Razorback and pulled the trigger early after his junior season. He chose the Razorbacks over offers from Alabama, LSU, Texas A&M, TCU, USC, Michigan, Oklahoma State and others.
LB Bumper Pool made 20 tackles in the 21-14 win at No. 16 Mississippi State and that allowed him to receive the Bronko Nagurski National Defensive Player of the Week, the Football Writers Association of America announced Tuesday.
Pool also chipped in two pass breakups on Saturday to become the only Razorback to record at least 20 tackles and two passes broken up in the same game. For the season, Pool leads the nation with 15.5 tackles per game and leads the SEC in total tackles (31).
Pool, a junior from Lucas, Texas, racked up a career-high 20 tackles in the Razorbacks’ 21-14 victory at No. 16 Mississippi State. That marks the highest total by an FBS defender this season, and it made the 6-2, 229-pounder one of nine SEC players to reach the 20-tackle level in the last 10 years.
