What else is Brewin’ today?

🎥 Relive the late ‘90s with Anthony Lucas
🏈 Toughness from the Wild
🐗 And so much more! 

🎙 HOG POD

Anthony Lucas was ahead of his time. The talented receiver made big play after big play and rewrote the Arkansas record books in the late ‘90s. Those records would stand until the age of wide-open offense came to college football. And yet he still holds the career record for most 100-yard receiving games. He’s one of the greats. But how much did he have to overcome to get there? Lucas didn’t have a good enough ACT score to qualify out of high school. But instead of going the JUCO route, he went ahead and enrolled at Arkansas, focusing on his grades. When he got on the field a year later, he made an impact. But the good times wouldn’t last: Lucas suffered a season-ending knee injury in the first game of his sophomore season. And to top it off, his coach got fired. But Anthony Lucas isn’t the type who wants pity. Instead, he got to work. And he became one of the best receivers in school history, responsible for countless fan-favorite moments.

📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Toughness From The Wild. When you think of offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino, some words that come to mind are toughness, offensive mastermind, and proven track record. His toughness came to him as a boy who grew up in Montana, spending his summers fly fishing with his grandfather. Hogs+ Senior Contributor Clay Henry met with Coach Petrino to talk about those old fishing trips and what happened to the old rods he was given.

🔺 Big League Bound. Day two of the MLB Draft was filled with Razorbacks!

🔺 Staying Home. Two familiar faces will be staying with the Razorback men’s basketball team! Ronnie Brewer Jr. enters his fourth year on the staff, he’ll be taking the Director of Student-Athlete Development role. Riley Hall was named the Director of Operations for the upcoming season.
