Peyton Stovall answers kids' questions about Arkansas baseball, Top Gun

The first kid asked Stovall, "Hey Peyton, have you always wanted to go to Arkansas?"

Stovall responded, "So I've always known I wanted to go play in the SEC, and so when I went through the recruiting process I liked Arkansas. The fan base support is unbelievable. Once I came on a visit, it was a dream come true — just like that I felt like I've always wanted to go here."

The second kid asked, "Hey Peyton, what's your favorite movie?"

Stovall said in response, "My favorite movie right now. The team went in Stillwater (Oklahoma) to see Top Gun, and that's probably No. 1 right now for me."
