FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas will be represented at SEC Media Days on July 23 by running back Sutton Smith, center Caden Kitler and edge Quincy Rhodes Jr.

The trio are all seniors and will be joined by Ryan Silverfield who is set for his first season with Arkansas. The SEC Media Days will be held in Tampa, Fla., this year.

Rhodes has spent his entire career at Arkansas. He signed with the Razorbacks out of North Little Rock High School. He bypassed the 2026 NFL Draft to return for another season at Arkansas. Rhodes was a second-team All-SEC as a junior. He tallied 44 total tackles, including a team-leading 15.5 tackles for loss and eight sacks, in addition to six quarterback hurries and a forced fumble in 2025.

Smith is a transfer from Memphis. In 2025, Smith played in 12 games and running for 669 yards and seven touchdowns on 102 carries while adding 20 receptions for 109 yards, 155 yards on five kick returns and 125 yards on 15 punt returns for a total of 1,058 total yards. In a win over Arkansas, Smith rushed for 147 yards and a touchdown.

Kitler is set to play his second season at Arkansas after transferring in from UCF. The center is expected to help anchor the offensive line in 2026.
