SIX HOGS chosen for coaches’ preseason AllSEC team.

FAYETTEVILLE — Six University of Arkansas players were selected to the preseason coaches’ AllSEC team, including firstteam selections in receiver Treylon Burks, linebacker Grant Morgan and center Ricky Stromberg.

The teams, announced Tuesday, also included a second-team choice in safety Jalen Catalon, and thirdteam selections in guard Ty Clary and tackle Myron Cunningham.

Burks, a junior from Warren, led the Razorbacks with 51 catches for 820 yards and 7 touchdowns. He ranked third in the SEC with 91.1 receiving yards per game despite missing one full game and most of another.

A second-team All-SEC choice after the 2020 season, Burks was one of only two FBS receivers to post 800plus receiving yards and 70plus rushing yards.

Morgan, of Greenwood, was a second-team AllAmerica pick by Walter Camp and the American Football Coaches Association after leading the SEC with 111 tackles and tying for second nationally with 12.3 tackles per game.

Stromberg, a junior from Tulsa, ranked second among Arkansas linemen with a 69.7 run-blocking grade last season. He allowed one sack on 355 pass blocking plays and notched six games with a 70-plus pass blocking grade.

Catalon, who had 99 tackles last season, was named a second-team Associated Press preseason All-American on Monday. The native of Mansfield, Texas, tied for the FBS lead among freshmen with 9.9 tackles per game, despite missing complete halves in two games and parts of two other quarters.

A Freshman All-America selection by the Football Writers Association of America and a first-team AllSEC pick by the AP last year, Catalon was the first SEC freshman since Tennessee’s Eric Berry in 2007 to record at least 87 tackles and three interceptions.

Cunningham started all 10 games at left tackle and led the Razorbacks with 705 snaps played. The senior from Warren, Ohio, had four games with an 80-plus pass blocking grade while allowing two sacks.

Clary, a senior from Fayetteville, made seven starts while playing in eight games last year. He drew two penalties, the fewest for any Razorback offensive lineman with at least 400 snaps.
