The team needs another body or two behind th ..read more

Before Marshall, he played at Florida State where he played 21 games in two seasons before missing the 202 ..read more

Taylen Green is the unquestioned starting quarterback for the Arkansas football team going into the 2024 season. Who his No. 2 is remains one of the bigger questions the Razorbacks have to answer.

The transfer portal giveth and taketh away. Around the same time that former Arkansas running back Dominique Johnson announced he was entering the transfer portal came word that the Razorbacks were adding someone to their offense via the portal. That someone is offensive lineman Joe More, who announced in a social media post on X (formerly Twitter) late Monday that he was signing with Arkansas for his final year of college eligibility. More entered the transfer portal just three days earlier on Friday. What a wild last couple of days. But so grateful to say I’ve signed to finish out my career ..read more

John Morgan didn’t get too much a chance to crack Arkansas’ defensive line rotation in 2023 after transferring from Pittsburgh. Apparently, New England like what it saw from him enough at Pitt and in the combine because the Patriots signed the one-year Razorback defensive to a rookie deal following the draft. Morgan played just a season in Fayetteville and ranked 20th on the team with 15 tackles. Four came for-loss and he added two sacks and a forced fumble as he spent a bulk of the year on the team’s second unit. At Pittsburgh, Morgan was much more productive. He had 11 quarterback hurries to ..read more
