                        TRIBUTE TO MITCH MUSTAIN

 Mr. PRYOR. Mr. President, it is with the greatest pleasure 
that I rise today to honor an outstanding student athlete from 
Springdale, AR, Mitch Mustain. As I am sure many of you know, Mitch was 
named the 2005 Gatorade National High School Football Player of the 
Year and the Player of the Year on Parade Magazine's 43rd annual All-
America High School Football Team. He received these awards not only 
for his outstanding leadership and athletic skill but also for his 
academic achievements and overall character.
  During the 2005 season, senior quarterback Mitch Mustain led 
Springdale High School to a No. 2 national ranking and the State Class 
5A title. He completed 190 passes for 3,817 yards and 47 touchdowns. He 
also rushed for seven scores and was sacked only twice. In the school's 
54 to 20 state final win, Mitch connected on 17 passes for 5 
touchdowns.
  I also take this opportunity to say how proud and excited I am that 
Mitch Mustain has signed with my alma mater, the University of 
Arkansas. I foresee great things ahead for the Razorbacks.
  Mr. President, I ask my colleagues to join me today in ``Calling the 
Hogs'' in

recognition of this future Razorback's outstanding accomplishments. We 
all look forward to following Mitch's career and anticipate that he 
will make lasting contributions to his team and to the University of 
Arkansas.
