So for his first opportunity as a Razorback, the fifth-year senior from Greenwood relishes having a full-time special teams coordinator as much as the punters and place-kickers do. The Razorbacks had no special teams coordinator during Morgan’s two years under Bret Bielema and first year under Chad Morris. Barry Lunney had the title last year but was busy coaching…

Arkansas Razorback Rakeem Boyd Solid NFL Prospect
Nate Allen FAYETTEVILLE – Barring injury it seems Sam Pittman will live up to his promise making Rakeem Boyd a better 2021 NFL draft prospect than had Boyd turned pro in 2020.

Arkansas Razorback Football
Nate Allen FAYETTEVILLE – Sam Pittman presumed after Arkansas’ offense was defensively dominated in last Friday’s Razorbacks scrimmage it would take sufficient offense to practice much better this week. According to fourth-year junior right offensive tackle Dalton Wagner after Tuesday’s practice, Arkansas’ offense verified the head coach’s presumption. “The offense, we came out swinging,” Wagner said. “We knew what our standard was. We knew that the scrimmage on Friday wasn’t our standard and isn’t what…
