Gophers’ Drake Lindsey shouts out Arkansas transfer receiver Isaiah Sategna
Gophers quarterback Drake Lindsey hasn’t taken the reigns of the offense yet, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t started identifying weapons he’d like to have by his side next season. One in particular shares his hometown and high school.
Arkansas wide receiver Isaiah Sategna entered the transfer portal on Wednesday and started posting his highlights on X, formerly Twitter, including an 87-yard punt return for a touchdown. The big-play ability caught the attention of Lindsey.
“Hmm. I kinda like this guy..” Lindsey said in a post on X.

Lindsey and Sategna both attended Fayetteville High School in Fayetteville, Ark. Satenga, currently a redshirt sophomore, was a four-star prospect and the top-ranked recruit in Arkansas’ 2022 recruiting class, according to 247Sports. Two years later, Lindsey committed to the U as a three-star prospect and No. 6-ranked player in Arkansas’ 2024 class.
Sategna is coming off a strong season for the Razorbacks in which he hauled in 37 passes for 491 yards and a touchdown. Could the Gophers be interested in pursuing the Arkansas transfer? Whether he’s in P.J. Fleck’s plans is unknown, but we do know Lindsey, potentially the U’s starting quarterback next year, kinda likes this guy.
LITTLE ROCK (KATV) — A bee swarm attack in Texas sent three people, including a firefighter, to the hospital this week, while Arkansas medical experts said most bee stings are not dangerous but can become life-threatening in certain cases.
Authorities in San Antonio said the three victims were hospitalized after being swarmed and stung by aggressive bees. Officials have not released details on what triggered the attack or the species involved.
Doctors in Arkansas said the biggest risk from a bee sting is not the sting itself, but a severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis.
“The concern when you have a bee sting is if you develop a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis,” said Dr. Garrett Lewis, chief medical officer at St. Vincent Infirmary.
Lewis said warning signs include throat swelling, difficulty breathing and feeling faint, which require immediate medical attention.
“If you’re experiencing any throat swelling or severe shortness of breath, you need to seek medical care immediately,” Lewis said.
He added that people who are stung multiple times may also be at risk even without a known allergy, because each sting introduces additional venom into the body.
In the event of a swarm, Lewis said the priority should be escaping the area as quickly as possible and removing any stingers once safe.
“Seek water, seek indoor,” Lewis said. “Once you’re away from the swarm, you want to make sure that you are removing any stingers that might still be in your skin.”
Lewis also said symptoms such as dizziness, nausea and widespread hives can indicate a serious reaction.
While the Texas incident resulted in hospitalizations, a recent swarm outside a Little Rock business ended without injuries after bees briefly gathered on a tree limb before being safely removed by a beekeeper.
Lewis said the best prevention is awareness of surroundings and understanding when medical care is needed after a sting.

We are proud to partner with the Corning Police Department in addressing these violations. We seized a substantial quantity of illegal products, including flower, vapes, edibles, and other items, during the operation. We appreciate the cooperation of local law enforcement and information received from the community that led to yesterday’s operation and stopped this blatant disregard of the law.”
