Arkansas is turning to a familiar face to fill the offensive line coach vacancy on its staff.
Mateos worked with coach Sam Pittman while here as a graduate assistant. He actually served as the interim offensive line coach during the Liberty Bowl at the end of the 2015 season when the Razorbacks defeated Kansas State, 45-23.
He left Arkansas to go take a similar position at LSU and has worked his way through Texas State, BYU and Baylor before it appears he is to be reuniting with Pittman and the Arkansas program.
His contract details were unavailable at publication time. He will join Bobby Petrino’s offensive staff after Petrino was hired as the team’s offensive coordinator earlier in the week.
Source: Arkansas is expected to hire Baylor offensive line coach Eric Mateos for the same role. Mateos has spent the past three seasons at Baylor after coaching O-line at BYU. He coached Joe Moore Award semifinalist offensive lines at each of his last two spots.
