Author Greg Thomas with Leland Barclay’s New Audiobook, “No Doubting Thomas,” Recounts Thomas’s Three-Year Groundbreaking Football Career at the University of Arkansas


Garland, TX, April 07, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Greg Thomas, former San Angelo Central and University of Arkansas quarterback, and Leland Barclay, a veteran sports reporter who has covered sports professionally since 1983, have completed their new audiobook, “No Doubting Thomas: ‘Hawg Whisperer’ My Arkansas Memoirs”: a compelling a thought-provoking look at the experiences faced by Thomas during his college football career, and the struggles he faced while breaking down barriers.

“‘No Doubting Thomas: “Hawg Whisperer” My Arkansas Memoirs’ is the American Writing Awards finalist for Sports Book of the year 2022,” writes Thomas. “It is my recollection of three years as the first starting African American (black) quarterback at the University of Arkansas, under legendary Athletic Director Frank Broyles and Head Football Coach Ken Hatfield. As a starter, from 1985-1987 in the defunct Southwest Conference, the Razorbacks appeared in consecutive Bowl Games (The Holiday, The Orange, and The Liberty Bowls) and during this span accumulated more victories than all Razorback Quarterbacks in Arkansas football history. The book shares stories of built friendships with teammates and bonds with Hall of Fame Coaches, Nolan Richardson and Norm DeBriyn. Included are stories of the ups and downs of the collegiate experience, resiliency, and overcoming racial bias and stereotypes.”

Published by Audiobook Network, author Greg Thomas with Leland Barclay’s new audiobook is the culmination of four sit-down interviews, numerous phone conversations, and one video call between Leland Barclay and Greg Thomas over the course of fourteen months and provides Thomas with the opportunity to share his life as a Razorback in his own words from his perspective.

Through his writings, listeners will discover incredible insights and moments along Thomas’s college journey that forever shaped his future, and the challenges that defined him from within and outside of his football program.

Listeners can purchase the audiobook edition of “No Doubting Thomas: ‘Hawg Whisperer’ My Arkansas Memoirs” by Greg Thomas with Leland Barclay through Audible, the Apple iTunes store, or Amazon.

The release of Magical Musical Memories aligns with research indicating music’s capacity to reduce stress and rekindle recollection among people living with dementia. It also echoes widely shared experiences—from football legend Sir Alex Ferguson to the family of singer Tony Christie—of music’s unique ability to unlock the past.

Inside the Community Spirit

“From the songs that we danced to at our first school dance, to the albums that became the soundtrack of our lives, each memory is a testament to the moments that have defined us,” said Helen Davies-Parsons, Chief Executive of Dormy Care Communities. “Music can transport us back to a specific time and place. Through these recollections, memories will now live on.”

How to Buy the Book—and Support Local Charities

The coffee-table style book is priced at £15. Copies can be purchased by contacting any of the five homes directly; card payments can be taken over the phone and books can be posted. A portion of every sale will be donated to local charities.
