Arkansas defensive end Julius Coates is set to return for the Razorbacks in 2021 after not competing in the season finale against Alabama and being ruled out of the Texas Bowl by Coach Sam Pittman before it was canceled. Coates, a 6-6, 289-pound junior f rom Rockford, Ill., and East Mississippi Community College, had been dealing with a personal matter not related to the football program late in the season, sources with knowledge told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. Coates showed flashes of being the kind of disruptive defensive end the Razorbacks have been lacking in recent seasons with 18 tackles - 3 for lost yardage - and 2 sacks. - Northwest Arkansas Times

Arkansas will be down at least one defensive lineman for its bowl game against TCU on Dec. 31. Defensive end Julius Coates will not play in the Texas Bowl, Arkansas coach Sam Pittman said Monday. Pittman did not elaborate as to why the transfer from East Mississippi Community College would miss the program's first bowl game since 2016. Coates did not play in Arkansas' regular-season finale against No. 1 Alabama on Dec. 12. The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported prior to that game Coates was not expected to play for reasons unrelated to an injury. He played in seven games this season and earned three starts, finishing with 18 tackles, including a season-high six against Tennessee. - Northwest Arkansas Times

Cliff Collins, East Mississippi's defensive coordinator, isn't surprised to hear the praise for Coates. "I think Julius is going to do pretty good in the SEC," said Collins, who played linebacker and safety at Ole Miss in 2001 and 2002. "He's athletic an d he's big and he's fast. He's a smart kid, too. "You add all that together, if he does what he's supposed to do, he could be a high NFL Draft pick. I know they've got some good coaches up there at Arkanas that are going to develop him, and he's going to take the coaching." Among the other players Collins has coached at East Mississippi is Darel Middelton, a senior defensive end at Tennessee. Middleton, 6-7, 305 pounds, played in all 13 games with six starts for the Vols last season when he made 26 tack les."When we looked at film of Julius, he reminded me of Darel," Collins said. "Darel is a long, athletic kid like Julius, and they both played on offense before we switched them to defense." Coates, who is from Rockford, Ill., played tight end at Ellsworth Community College in Iowa as a redshirt freshman in 2019 and had six catches for 62 yards. "They had Julius flanked out as a tight end [at Ellsworth], and we thought, 'This kid should be on defense,' " Collins said. "He was too big to be flank ed out. Then we saw him run, and the rest is history. "We told him, 'Come and play defensive end for us, and you'll get a scholarship wherever you want to go." - Northwest Arkansas Times

It is safe to say Julius Coates is turning heads in Arkansas' preseason practices. The Razorbacks have not yet worked out in full pads, but the defensive end from East Mississippi Community College has received positive reviews from a number of teammates and even defensive coordinator Barry Odom. They have been colorful, too. "I go against Julius just about every day at practice," Arkansas offensive lineman Myron Cunningham said during a Zoom conference on Monday. "He's very twitchy, and for how big he is, he's got a lot of speed. "He's very athletic on the edge." Bumper Pool, a junior and the leader of the second level of Arkansas' defense, is eager to see what kind of season the transfer will put together. He took his description of Coates a step fur ther. "That kid is an animal," added Pool, second on the team with 94 tackles last fall. "He's explosive."Odom, entering his first season with the Razorbacks after spending the previous four years at Missouri, attributes that explosiveness to Coat es' training since arriving on campus. The leaders of Arkansas' strength and conditioning staff, Jamil Walker and Ed Ellis, have transformed his body. Coates is listed at 6-7, 289 pounds on the team's updated roster. He is up 14 pounds since his junior c ollege days. "He's a big, tall, long, explosive athlete," Odom added. "He's become bigger, stronger, leaner, faster, quicker, all those things. I would say if you had a before-and-after picture of what Julius looked like from the day he walked in to wher e he was when we cut loose here, he maybe transformed as much as anybody." - Northwest Arkansas Times
