FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas' Sam Pittman has filled his tight end position with the hiring of Stanford's Morgan Turner.

Turner just completed his 10th season as a full-time assistant for Stanford and 13 years at the school. David Shaw resigned following the season and new coach Troy Taylor wanted to bring in his own assistants.

Turner will be on the recruiting trail today seeing the three four-star tight end commitments to Arkansas. They are Ashdown's Shamar Easter, Bixby (Okla.) High's Luke Hasz and Eudora (Kan.) High's Jaden Hamm.

Turner graduated from Illinois in 2009. He has sent several stars to the NFL. Among the notable players coached by Turner are Coby Fleener, Zach Ertz, Levine Toilolo, Austin Hooper, Dalton Schultz, Colby Parkinson and Kaden Smith.

Arkansas was one of Turner’s recruiting territories at Stanford. Other recruiting territory for him was California (Sacramento Valley, North Coast, Cascades), Florida (South), Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska and Wisconsin.

Prior to his arrival at Stanford, Turner spent the 2009 season as the quarterbacks coach at Indiana State.

At Arkansas, Turner will replace Dowell Loggains who accepted the job of offensive coordinator at South Carolina.
