2022 PRESEASON LOU GROZA AWARD WATCH LIST: Cam Little - Arkansas, Class: Sophomore - Hometown: Moore, Oklahoma,...Little's 20 field goals were the second-most by a freshman last season, part of a stellar first year that saw him named to every major Freshman All-America team. Though his 4-for-4 game against Texas stands out, don't overlook back-to-back 3-FG games in November in which Arkansas beat Mississippi State 31-28 and then a 16-13 overtime road win over LSU in which he kicked the game-winner from 37 yards out. - Lou Groza Award

07/22/22 - Jadon Haselwood, rJr/2023, Arkansas, 6-2, 215 (DS#52 WR) + More +

Replacing Treylon Burks is one of the primary question marks surrounding the Razorbacks in 2022. Arkansas addressed its needs on the perimeter with plug-and-play receiver talent, but concerns remain. "I don't know if you replace a guy one for one," Pittman said Wednesday at SEC Media Days in Atlanta. "I don't think you can there. We're going to have to do it by committee. I'll say this: We look like a wide receiver group, we run like a wide receiver group. KJ is going to have to get comfortable with where these guys are going to be. "He has to get comfortable with their speed, how they run their routes. That was certainly the No. 1 thing offensively that was concerning."

Jadon Haselwood (Oklahoma) and Matt Landers (Toledo) are two transfer portal additions at receiver who Pittman believes in. Haselwood went through spring drills with the Razorbacks and Landers was previously at Georgia when Pittman was the Bulldogs' offensive line coach. Landers committed to Arkansas in mid-May, roughly one month after spring practices. "Haselwood has not achieved what, out of high school, they said he was going to," Pittman said. "So I'm saying that's a hungry man. He's also a very talented guy. Matt Landers is the same way. We want that performance out of them next year. The way they have worked in the offseason and this summer, I believe that they'll be poised to do that. "I believe they have to do well for us to replace Burks." - Northwest Arkansas Times

07/14/22 - JJ Hollingsworth, rJr/2027, Arkansas, 6-3, 264 (DS#999 DT) + More +

JJ Hollingsworth was a fourth-grader when Jermaine Petty, an All-America linebacker for the Arkansas Razorbacks in 2001, began working with him as a personal trainer. "When JJ first came to me for training, his goal - his dream really - was to become a Razorback," Petty said. "I told him, 'I've been there. I know how to get there. If you follow the game plan we put together, there's a chance you can get to the Razorbacks." "It's not guaranteed, but there's a chance," Petty continued in his message." "And one thing I can guarantee you, if you follow the plan, there will be a Division I scholarship at some school." Nearly 10 years later, Hollingsworth is a Razorback. Hollingsworth will be a freshman defensive end this fall after becoming the first player from Greenland High School to sign a football scholarship with the University of Arkansas. "It's really cool," Hollingsworth said. "I hope I'm not the last player from Greenland to sign with Arkansas, but I'm honored to be the first. I hope it sets a new standard for us." - Northwest Arkansas Times

Who will Arkansas and quarterback KJ Jefferson turn to at receiver following the departure of Treylon Burks? The Razorbacks, ahead of the 2022 season, have a large void to fill. Selected by the Tennessee Titans with the No. 18 overall pick in the NFL Draft in April, Burks is far from an ordinary talent. The Warren native may very well be the greatest pass catcher the program has ever seen. But Arkansas lost more than just its go-to weapon. The Razorbacks entered spring drills this year minus three of their top four receivers in terms of yardage from a 9-4 season in 2021. Tyson Morris and DeVion Warren were Nos. 2 and 4 in that regard with 337 and 243 yards, respectively. Warren Thompson, a second-year player from Florida State who began his time at Arkansas as a walk-on then earned a scholarship, is the team's top returning receiver. After him, there are question marks.

There is great optimism, however, in Jadon Haselwood, a prize receiver transfer from Oklahoma. And there are great expectations for the 6-3, 211-pound receiver, who has the gifts to lead the Razorbacks on the perimeter. In his last year as a Sooner, he finished third on the team in receiving yards (399) and had team highs in receptions (39) and touchdown catches (6). "He creates mismatches," Jefferson said. "I just make sure I get him the ball a little and put it in the air and just let him make a play. I know he'll come down with it. Just having somebody like that on my team with Burks leaving, he's picking up the slack he left. The only thing we've just got to work on now is timing, and making sure we're both on the same page and thinking alike. "He has a mindset that if he don't catch it then nobody will. Overall, though, I feel like he's the guy that you can just put the ball in his area and he'll go make a play." - Northwest Arkansas Times

Arkansas could find a pass rush as the season progresses, but as of now, there's no sign of significant threats the Alabama offensive line will have to neutralize. Last year, the Razorbacks finished second to last in sacks per game in the SEC with 1.85. By comparison, Alabama averaged 3.80. And Arkansas is losing some of its better rushers from 2021. It will be without its two most productive pass rushers in Tre Williams (six sacks) and Hayden Henry (four). The Razorbacks did add players through the portal who might help, including former Alabama five-star linebacker Drew Sanders. - Montgomery Advertiser

07/07/22 - Jordan Anthony, rJr/2027, Arkansas, 5-09, 162 (DS#999 WR) + More +

Former Kentucky offensive coordinator Liam Coen was clear about the priority in the Wildcats' 2022 recruiting class when asked about the wide receivers he had just helped sign in December. "We need to continue to get faster at the receiver position and overall as an offense to complement the physicality that has already been provided in here," Coen said. How well Kentucky addressed that need with the four high school receivers signed in the class will be determined on the field starting this fall, but at least one of the incoming freshmen has more than backed up his reputation before even joining the team.

A banner weekend for the Kentucky track and field program at the U.S. nationals that saw individual titles from former Wildcats Keni Harrison, Sydney McLaughlin, Daniel Roberts and Andrew Evans as well as current senior sprinter Abby Steiner was boosted by incoming freshman Jordan Anthony's 200-meter title at the U20 national championship. Before Anthony launches his track career at Kentucky, he will play for the football Wildcats as a freshman wide receiver this fall. "He's very elusive," said Osborne Holmes, Anthony's football coach at Tylertown High School in Mississippi. "He's got great feet. He's got more than straight-line speed. Once you put the ball in his hands, he's very dynamic. He's going to make the first guy miss. He's going to roll with it...You just give him a crease, and he'll take it to the house." Anthony won the 200-meter title in 20.34 seconds, edging future Kentucky track teammate Brandon Miller (20.47) seconds, to qualify for a spot in the U20 World Championships. He also finished sixth in the 100-meter dash (10.43 seconds). - Louisville Courier Journal

KJ Jefferson and Jadon Haselwood have been spending the summer working to continue to build chemistry as a potent passing combination for Arkansas. Both are redshirt juniors, but they didn't become teammates until January when Haselwood transferred from Oklahoma to Arkansas - where Jefferson is getting ready for his fourth year in the program and second season as the Razorbacks' starting quarterback. Haselwood, a wide receiver, played 25 games at Oklahoma going back to his true freshman season in 2019 and had 62 catches for 736 yards and 7 touchdowns. Last season he had 39 catches for 399 yards and a team-high 6 touchdowns.

"Jadon is coming along," Jefferson said earlier this week when he, Haselwood and safety Jalen Catalon worked at a youth camp at the UA's intramural fields. "Just being able to transition from a different system that he was in at Oklahoma to coming to a spread tempo offense, he's picked up on it really fast. "I'm loving his progress. He comes in and works hard every day. We even get in extra work. We go in sometimes at night and work." Jefferson said he'll often get a text from Haselwood about meeting at the Walker Pavilion after dinner. "We work on different routes and get our timing down pat," Jefferson said. "It could be getting on the board [to draw up plays] or watching film or breaking down a route concept and then going out there and running the route. "Speaking the same terminology we'll be speaking on Saturday. Making sure me and him are on the same page and connect." - Northwest Arkansas Times

06/05/22 - Dorian Gerald, rSr/2023, Arkansas, 6-2, 265 (DS#999 DE) + More +

University of Arkansas defensive end Dorian Gerald announced Friday he would spend his seventh collegiate season as a Razorback again. Gerald, who transferred to Arkansas from College of the Canyons (Calif.) prior to the 2018 season, posted on social media on April 25 he had entered the transfer portal. However, on Friday, he wrote on Twitter, "After many nights of prayers, and tons of support from my family, coaches and loved ones! I like to finish what I started!! I'll be finishing my last year of football here at THE University of Arkansas!!" A UA spokesperson confirmed Friday that Gerald had been granted a seventh season, based on a series of injuries and the covid-19 pandemic season of 2020.

Gerald's veteran presence should be an asset on an Arkansas defensive line that will be thin entering the 2022 season. Gerald's story as a Razorback has been one of injuries, including a broken bone in his leg in practice after last year's season opener versus Rice. The native of Florence, S.C., was also injured and lost for the year in the 2019 season opener against Portland State and injured in the 2020 season opener against Georgia. - Northwest Arkansas Times

A native of El Dorado, he grew up following Arkansas and wanted to play for the Razorbacks. He has one year of eligibility remaining. - Northwest Arkansas Times
