An optimist and a visionary who looked at life with an attitude of gratitude, Broyles lived life to the fullest for 92 years.<\/p><p>Coach Broyles\u2019 legacy lives on through the countless lives he impacted on and off the field, through the Broyles Foundation and their efforts to support Alzheimer\u2019s caregivers at no cost, and through the Broyles Award nominees, finalists, and winners that continue to impact the world of college athletics and beyond.

It had to be the late Wilson Matthews.<\/p><p>Matthews, a legendary figure in Arkansas sports, joined Coach Broyles\u2019 Razorback staff in 1958, after one of the finest success stories in all of Arkansas prep history. At Little Rock Central High School, his teams won 10 state championships in 11 years and posted a remarkable record of 111-14-3, losing only 3 games to in-state teams. His 1957 team was ranked number one nationally and he left Central for the University of Arkansas with a 33-game winning streak.<\/p><p>He helped Coach Broyles and the Arkansas program reach new heights with a National Championship in 1964 and 8 bowl game appearances. Regarded as one of the most fierce, intense, demanding, but most loved coaches ever, the glowing and appreciative accolades of both his former high school and college players serve as the perfect example of the relationship between a great assistant coach and his players.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bf95abf elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"bf95abf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"https:\/\/broylesaward.com\/award-impact\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">HIGH SCHOOL BROYLES AWARD<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Legacy of John Franklin Broyles Frank Broyles always said he lived a \u201ccharmed life,\u201d and it was true.
