Arkansas Razorbacks NFL Draft Prospects

Arkansas hit bottom in 2025, stumbling to a 2-10 finish and going winless in SEC play at 0-8. The two wins came against Alabama A&M and Arkansas State to open the year; everything after was a loss, several of them by a single score. Sam Pittman was dismissed during the season, Bobby Petrino ran the team on an interim basis, and the Razorbacks limped to the finish while fielding the worst defense in the conference.

The reset is total. New head coach Ryan Silverfield arrives from Memphis, where he went 50-25 over six seasons and built a reputation for offense, and he brought coordinators Tim Cramsey (offense) and Ron Roberts (defense) into a program in need of an overhaul. Silverfield imported roughly 40 players through the portal and signed a freshman class of 19, leaving more than half the roster new. The mandate is obvious: Arkansas owned the SEC's worst turnover margin, was among the most penalized teams in the league, and was below average on special teams. All of that has to change quickly.
