FRISCO, Texas – Razorback followers who needed one other likelihood to see Malik Hornsby play once more will get that chance as soon as once more – in Jonesboro.

Towards the Pink Wolves.

After a very long time within the portal looking for the best touchdown spot, former Arkansas back-up quarterback Malik Hornsby lastly discovered a house at Texas State.

If the present Solar Belt Convention scheduling components holds up, the Bobcats will journey to Jonesboro for a convention recreation in 2023.

There was a substantial amount of curiosity in Hornsby on the Energy 5 stage, however a lot of that was centered round the concept he would transfer from quarterback to receiver.

Nevertheless, the speedster who grew up a few hours west of San Marcos the place Texas State is situated, caught to his weapons. He needed to play quarterback and he will get that chance. 

The one factor he ought to get is quarterback growth. Whereas a lot is made concerning the progress of starter KJ Jefferson, there by no means appeared to be an upward swing for Hornsby.

Nevertheless, head coach GJ Kinne could also be the perfect individual on the planet to narrate to Hornsby and assist him obtain his goals of being a profitable quarterback.
