This is just awful, awful news. Ryan Mallett and I were in school at Michigan at the same time and had a bunch of mutual friends. Hard to comprehend. https://t.co/7ehtWtcitB

Terrible, terrible news. Ryan Mallett revitalized Arkansas football in 2009 and 2010. To me, he’s the best quarterback in Hogs history. The opportunity to cover him from 2008-10 was special, and hearing his story as he pursued coaching in recent years was the good stuff. RIP. https://t.co/ewutIpFc6t
