Hall of fame Hogs

The others, announced on Sunday, were basketball standout Corey Beck and track and field star Tyson Gay.

The class will be formally inducted on April 8 at the Statehouse Convention Center in Little Rock.

Hitting 100

Kicker Cam Little hit the 100-point mark by scoring 10 points against Missouri on two field goals and four extra points.

Little moved into sixth place on Arkansas’ single-season kick scoring list, 18 points behind Zach

Hocker’s record 118 points in 2011. Little can reach the top five by surpassing Kendall Trainor’s 102 points (1988) in the bowl game. Hocker also ranks fourth with 104 points in 2010.

Little is the first Razorback to hit the 100-point mark in a season since Alex Collins scored 120 points on 20 touchdowns in 2015, tying Bill Burnett’s school record set in 1969.

Nearing 500

The Razorbacks have two players over 500 yards in total offense in quarterback KJ Jefferson (3,132 yards) and tailback Trelon Smith (592). However, two other players are on the brink of the 500-yard mark in total offense, which does not include receiving yardage.

Freshman Raheim Sanders has 499 total yards on 101 plays, and sophomore Dominique Johnson is at 498 yards on 86 plays.

Keeping it red

The Razorbacks have managed to keep the “redshirt” status for a pair of freshmen in linebacker Christopher Paul and receiver-returner Bryce Stephens.

The pair have played in three games, which makes them eligible to play in the bowl game without losing their redshirt status.

Paul has one tackle after playing in late relief against Georgia Southern, Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Missouri.

Stephens played against Georgia Southern, UAPB and LSU with his greatest contribution coming in Baton Rouge. Stephens had a 26-yard punt return that led to a Cam Little field goal to open the scoring and also had a successful fair catch at the Arkansas 14 in the waning seconds of regulation.
