Brentley Romine of GOLF Channel said of the Razorbacks:
“Arkansas earned a slight rankings bump by having its two best players, Maria Jose Marin and Kendall Todd, reach the semifinals of the U.S. Women’s Amateur after each recorded big wins earlier in the summer, Marin at the Colombian Open and Todd at the Women’s Porter Cup. The Razorbacks have a legit one-two punch (at the top of the lineup). With some added confidence, Todd could take another step forward this season. With six U.S. Women’s Amateur qualifiers, the depth is there, too. Racheal Zibilski had four top-20s while playing mostly out of the five spot as a sophomore while Giovanna Fernandez was the postseason sub. The latter will have heavy competition for playing time from the three incoming freshmen, mainly Clarisa Temelo, who continues the tradition of top Mexico players heading to Fayetteville.”

Cameron Jourdan of Golfweek said of Jose Marin:
“Jose Marin was stellar as a freshman last season, and, after a strong summer that included winning medalist honors at the 2024 U.S. Women’s Amateur, she returns to Arkansas as one of the amateur game’s best.”

The Razorbacks are coming off a runner-up finish at the season-opening Carmel Cup and return to action Sept. 30 when Arkansas hosts the Blessings Collegiate Invitational, presented by Tyson Foods.
