The Arkansas Razorbacks will face six Top 25 opponents this fall — including No.15 Ole Miss on Sept.

13 and No.1 Texas on Nov. 22 — as part of a schedule that also features matchups with Memphis, Auburn, and Missouri, making it one of the toughest in the conference.

ESPN 5-star shooting guard Jordan Smith Jr.—rated the nation’s top shooting guard—narrowed his list to six colleges Tuesday that include Arkansas; he will visit the Razorbacks from Sept.

20 through 22 and Kentucky from Oct. 10 through 12.

Analysts say the Razorbacks wide receiver group faces challenges as key players left and many new faces join while assistant coach Ronnie Fouch is confident that added speed and toughness will help the team make quick plays—Fouch expects receivers to run 30 yards downfield in practice to build separation for the upcoming season.
