Notes:
Ryan Silverfield earned his first SEC head coaching won on the road in Nashville at Vanderbilt on Oct. 17. Silverfield is looking to lead Arkansas to its first win against Missoouri in the Battle Line Rivalry since the 2021 season, when the Razorbacks defeated the Tigers 34-17.
QB KJ Jackson has completed 131 of 215 passes (60.9%) for 1,444 yards, seven touchdowns and four interceptions across seven games of action since earning the starting job in fall camp.

RB Cam Settles is one of Arkansas’ top rushers through seven games. Settles has rushed for 176 yards and two touchdowns on 43 carries (team-high 4.1 yards per carry). The Little Rock native recorded a pair of touchdowns in the Razorbacks’ win at Vanderbilt on Oct. 17, becoming the first Arkansas running back with multiple touchdowns in a game all season.
WR Chris Marshall, one of the top wide receivers in the SEC, is the star of Arkansas’ offense. Despite being limited by an injury in Arkansas’ win at Vanderbilt, the Missouri City, Texas, native has caught 43 passes for 633 yards and two touchdowns through seven contests this season. Marshall’s 2026 campaign has been highlighted by his back-to-back 100-yard performances against Georgia on Sept. 19 and Tulsa on Sept. 26. Marshall is in the top 5 among SEC pass catchers in nearly every major receiving category, including receptions (43), receiving yards (633), receptions per game (6.1), receiving yards per game (90.4), first down receptions (29) and receiving plays of 10-plus yards (28).
