📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Put It In Reverse. The 10th-ranked Arkansas volleyball team had its back against the wall for three consecutive sets and won all of them as they pulled off a reverse sweep over Ole Miss. It was Arkansas’ first reverse sweep since the 2021 season, and only the fourth five-setter for the Hogs this season.

Junior middle blocker Zoi Evans set a new career high with six blocks to anchor the Arkansas defense, three of which were solo. Only Jill Gillen has had as many in a match this season. Speaking of Jill, she led the offense with 24 kills and hit .333 to with 16 digs for a double-double.

The Razorbacks improved to 13-2 in SEC play and 23-4 overall with the victory, the most wins for the program since 2003.

🔺 All Business. Countdown to kickoff is on for Arkansas football’s home game against FIU. Head Coach Sam Pittman talked about the impact Travis Williams has had in his first year as defensive coordinator, several injury updates on his players, and much more in his Wednesday presser.

🔺 Room To Spare. The 14th-ranked Arkansas men’s basketball team has one more home game this week before taking its first road trip of the season, and there is a limited amount of tickets that just became available.

🔺 Never Out Of Style. The Razorback swimming team had a solid opening day at the Tennessee Invite. Competing against several nationally-ranked programs, the Arkansas C Relay team, consisting of Rebecca Simpson, Betsy Wizard, Alma Dahl, and Allie Thome, finished third in the 200 Freestyle Relay. Bella Cothern posted a personal best in the 50 Freestyle with a fourth-place finish and a time of 22.22 in the A-Final, and Gracie Colvin earned a first-place finish in the D-Final of the 50 Freestyle. Check where the Hogs stand in terms of points heading into today’s events here.

🔺 Proud Legacy. Arkansas defensive coordinator Travis Williams has been nominated for the Broyles Award, named for legendary Arkansas coach Frank Broyles and annually given to the nation’s top assistant coach.

In his first year on The Hill, Williams has transformed the Arkansas defense from a year ago. The Razorbacks have improved in nearly every defensive category, including total yards, rushing defense and passing defense while also leading the nation in defensive touchdowns with four. The Hogs have returned three interceptions for scores and Jaylon Braxton’s fumble return for a touchdown at Florida helped lead Arkansas to the program’s first-ever win at Florida.

🎧 THE RAZORBACK DAILY
