Get an inside look at all the big moments leading up to and during the huge home series. Hear from Coach Nate Thompson, Hunter Hollan, Hagen Smith, Gage Wood, Jace Bohrofen, Tavian Josenberger, and more. Relive the sweep like never before in this action packed episode of The Follow.

📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Along The Eastern Front. An SEC road series is in store for No. 5 Arkansas as they’ll face Georgia at Foley Field for the first time in five years.

Up first on the mound for the Hogs is southpaw stud Hunter Holland, who’s an impressive 6-1 on the season with an ERA of just 2.81. Hunter is averaging just under one strikeout per inning pitched this year, so it’s no wonder why he’s on the watch list for the National Pitcher of the Year Award.

First pitch in the opener between the Razorbacks and Bulldogs is scheduled for 6pm CT on SEC Network.

🔺 Pitch With Caution. No. 12 Arkansas softball has played 15 SEC games so far, and two Razorbacks are leading the charge at the plate. Clylie Halvorson and Lauren Camenzind are batting .341 and .333, respectively, in league play and have accounted for 28 of the Hogs’ 92 hits against conference opponents. Cylie leads the team in slugging (.591) while Lauren is on top in terms of on-base percentage (.409). The Razorbacks are back in action tomorrow afternoon, kicking off a road series against Kentucky.

🔺 Court Hosting. The SEC Women’s Tennis Tournament is underway as Arkansas plays host to their conference rivals. The 7-seeded Razorbacks are up today with a match against the 10-seeded LSU Tigers, who came out on top in the previous meeting between both teams. Arkansas, however, is riding a hot streak entering postseason play, ending the regular season on a three-match win streak. Freshman Carolina Gomez Alonso can say the same as the 41st-ranked player in the country. The Hogs face the Tigers at 6pm tonight.

🔺 The Pick’s Almost In. The NFL Draft is just a week away, and several former Hogs are looking to become early-round picks. Linebacker Drew Sanders remains atop of the class at linebacker, and has a legitimate chance to go in the first round. ESPN analyst Jordan Reid’s final draft prospect rankings. See where Drew, Ricky Stromberg, Jadon Haselwood, and all the other future Pro Hogs are ranked here.

🔺 Swingin’ SeaSide. Arkansas turned in one of its best-ever SEC Championship rounds Wednesday after shooting a 2-under-par round of 278. Seniors Julian Perico and Wil Gibson led the Razorbacks, each posting a 2-under-par 68’s to tie for 11th, while the team is in a tie for eighth place in the tournament. The Hogs, ranked 36th in the country, are tied with No. 13 Tennessee, and ahead of No. 31 Georgia among other SEC foes as Round 2 begins this morning.
