HawgBeat – Arkansas football's weight gains, losses entering 2024 spring ball
Spring football begins Thursday for the Arkansas Razorbacks, and plenty of players have seen weight gains and losses since last season.
The Razorbacks officially released their spring football roster Tuesday and HawgBeat has a full breakdown of how each player’s weight has changed since their listed weight last season.
Some significant changes include a pair of offensive players â running back Braylen Russell added 27 pounds and lineman Addison Nichols dropped 21 pounds. On the other side of the trench, two defensive lineman lost a bit of weight â Ian Geffrard lost 14 pounds and Kaleb James dropped 16 pounds.
Plenty of freshmen saw changes in their weight compared to their listed weight when they signed and some of the new transfers saw changes as well.
Note: Returners weight is compared with their listed weight on last year’s roster. Transfers’ weight is compared with the weight they were listed at with their previous school. Freshmen’s weight is compared with the listed weight from the UA when they signed. New walk-on players do not have a 2023 weight listed.

It’s been a bone-dry year in Arkansas. It’s now the 7th driest year on record in Little Rock since record-keeping began in 1875, as of April 20.
24 days so far this year in Little Rock have received measurable rainfall. 12 days received a trace amount of rain, meaning there were no rainfall measurements to report (it was too little to record), as it was just a sprinkle or a few spits.
Only 4 days have received an inch or more of rain so far this year. Those occurred on April 4, March 7, February 14, and January 24. January’s “rain” was really winter precipitation.
April is usually the rainiest month of the year in Arkansas. In Little Rock, April on average receives 5.59 inches of rainfall. So far this April, as of April 20, Little Rock has only recorded 1.17″ of rain for the month.
The rainfall deficit over the last 6 months is well over a foot for much of Arkansas, including Little Rock, North Little Rock, Pine Bluff, and Harrison.
Spring is the rainy season, and summer is the dry season. If rain isn’t recorded soon, the drought will persist into the summer. In fact, the latest seasonal drought outlook shows that while some areas of Arkansas could see improvements, the drought continues into July.
To fully end the drought, parts of central and northeast Arkansas need more than 25 inches of rain over the next 3 months. Parts of northwest Arkansas need between 15 and 20 inches of rain over the next 3 months. The rest of the state needs between 20 and 25 inches of rain over the next 3 months. All of this rain would need to be received slowly, not all at one time.
The odds of receiving this much rain slowly over the next 3 months are very low.
