 Arkansas has hired Buffalo Bills assistant offensive line coach Kurt Anderson as the Razorbacks' offensive line coach.

CoachingSearch.com broke the news Saturday morning and Arkansas coach Bret Bielema made it official with a statement later that evening.

"Kurt stood out to me when he interviewed and he’s stood out to every coach he’s worked and played for," Bielema said. "His ability to relate to the players and connect with them will help him have a tremendous impact on our program, not only a position coach, but as a recruiter."

Bielema said last month he would look at coaches in college and the NFL to fill the position. Former Arkansas offensive line coach Sam Pittman accepted a job in the same role at Georgia last month.

Anderson, 36, has spent the last three seasons with the NFL's Bills and was the team's interim offensive line coach for six games in 2015. He has previous college coaching experience at Eastern Michigan and Indiana State, and was a graduate assistant at his alma mater Michigan.

While at Michigan, Anderson played against Arkansas in the 1999 Citrus Bowl. He also coached in a game against the Razorbacks in 2009 while at Eastern Michigan.
