Five Razorbacks to fear as Longhorns prepare for Arkansas

A product of Duncanville, Ja’Quinden is a redshirt senior from Utah and a 2024 Honorable Mention Preseason All-SEC (CFN). He became the first Razorback to rush for a touchdown in six consecutive games since 2010. Originally a Texas Longhorn, Jackson’s journey has taken him from being redshirted in Austin to a standout role with Utah, and now he’s a valuable asset for Sam Pittman at Arkansas. His resilience after a tough ankle injury — where a low sprain turned into a tendon injury — is impressive, and now that he’s back to full health, he’s proven himself a reliable go-to for Green to advance the Razorbacks’ offense.
With 592 rushing yards on 104 carries and 10 touchdowns, Jackson leads Arkansas in rushing yards, in spite of missing the Mississippi State and Ole Miss games. If he’s fully recovered and ready to go this weekend, Texas’s defense will need to prioritize containment on his runs. Stopping Jackson could be the key to cutting down Arkansas’s scoring potential.

Here’s a recent college basketball story via the Associated Press:
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Trevon Brazile scored a career-high 26 points on 9-of-11 shooting from the field to lead No. 14 Arkansas to a 108-80 victory over Queens on Tuesday night.
Arkansas (9-2) was never in trouble, taking a 24-point lead into halftime behind 60% shooting from the floor. Brazile had 18 points in the opening 20 minutes. Darius Acuff Jr., who finished with 23 points and 10 assists, scored 16 in the first half.
Brazile went 5 for 7 from 3-point range and Arkansas was 14 of 28 compared to 6 for 25 for the Royals (5-7). The Razorbacks also outscored Queens 32-14 on fast-break points.
Atlantic Sun preseason player of the year Chris Ashby entered averaging 13 points per game but was limited to just two on 1-of-9 shooting, including 0 for 7 from 3-point distance. The Royals were led by Nasir Mann, who had 16 points.
Four other Arkansas players joined Brazile and Acuff in double figures. Billy Richmond III scored 15 points off the bench, Nick Pringle added 14, Karter Knox had 11 and D.J. Wagner provided 10.
The win was Arkansas’ fourth in a row since losing to then-No. 4 Duke on Thanksgiving.
