79. Feleipe Franks: Ready for Redemption - a podcast by Sport & Story | Arkansas Razorbacks

To say it was a long and winding road that brought Feleipe Franks to Arkansas might be an understatement. Born into a military family and raised on farm tending to horses, values matter to Franks…even though past perception might be different. After originally committing to LSU, Franks ended up at Florida. He spilt time starting as a redshirt freshman, and then found success in 2018—leading the Gators to a Peach Bowl win. But questions about his maturity lingered. Then…heartbreak. In the third game of the 2019 season, Franks suffered a devastating leg injury that cost him the season. Following the injury, Franks realized his future lay elsewhere. After the decision to transfer, he’s ready to start fresh at Arkansas AND leave the doubters in his rearview. How has he grown from mistakes to become a better leader—so much so that he’s now an Arkansas team captain? Feleipe Franks is ready to make a lasting impression on the Razorbacks.
