🎙️ THE HOG POD

If you were building a Mount Rushmore of important figures in Arkansas football history, there’s no doubt that Frank Broyles would be on there. But right there with him would be Harold Horton. Horton’s ties to the Razorbacks—and the state of Arkansas—run deep. He was part of three Southwest Conference championship teams in the early ‘60s under Frank Broyles, who then hired him as an assistant coach—a position he would hold for 13 years. After an unceremonious end to his time as a Razorback assistant and two years in the business sector, Horton was hired as the head coach at Central Arkansas, where he would win two NAIA national championships in eight seasons. He would return to Arkansas in 1990, working in football operations, before eventually serving as the president of the Razorback Foundation. All told, Horton had a major impact on the Hog football program for nearly 40 years. He passed away on Saturday at the age of 85.

In this episode, Hogs+ senior contributor Clay Henry tells the story of Razorback great Harold Horton, with help from former Arkansas players and coaches like Tim Horton, Louis Campbell and Mike Boschetti.

📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Top Hogs. There’s a new No. 1 in town and it’s the Razorback softball team! The Hogs sit at the top of the Softball America Top 25 Poll heading into the SEC Tournament. They become the sixth Razorback program to earn a No. 1 ranking this year. They’ll play Georgia tomorrow on the SEC Network after the LSU vs. Mississippi State game which starts at 10 a.m.

🔺 He Is Root. The SEC Pitcher of the Week is Razorback ace Zach Root! He threw a career-long eight scoreless innings, racking up a career-high 11 strikeouts against No. 1 Texas on Thursday. This is his second weekly honor of the season.

🔺 New Additions. Razorback football announced the signing of wide receiver Jalen Brown! He transfers to Arkansas from Florida State, where he recorded eight catches for 75 yards in his redshirt freshman season last year.

Arkansas also signed linebacker Andrew Harris from Orlando, Florida. He transfers to Arkansas from UCF, where he spent two seasons. He recorded nine tackles last year.

🔺 Strong Start. The second-ranked women’s golf team started the NCAA Columbus Regional strong! They sit in second-place at 6-under after the first round. Kendall Todd is tied for second after shooting 5-under, while Maria José Marin isn’t far behind, tied for 10th. They’ll resume play this morning.
