Razorback Brew 7/25: Medal mania

Today, several Arkansas track athletes come home with medals.

Good morning. And a happy 56th birthday to none other than Matt LeBlanc, better known as Joey from Friends. We all have a Joey in our lives, and we’re all better for it.

Arkansas’ defense on the other hand is not out to make friends when they take the field this Fall. Clay Henry continues his look at that side of the ball in today’s season preview feature.

Now, what else did we mix into today’s Brew?

Holding the line. The Razorbacks have a little bit of everything when it comes to the second level of their defense. You want length and size? Jaheim Thomas is the guy for you. How about a warrior? Well, that’s Jordan Crook according to defensive coordinator Travis Williams.

Clay Henry continues his preview of the 2023 Arkansas football team with Williams’ analysis of the linebackers.

📈 STOCK UP

🔺 1 To 3. We’re now just 39 days from the start of Arkansas’ football season, and boy was this a beautiful 39-yard touchdown strike from KJ Jefferson to Matt Landers. KJ’s perfectly thrown pass led to Landers’ second of three touchdowns on the day in a convincing 52-35 win over BYU. Relive the excitement from Arkansas’ first-ever trip to Provo in this episode of The Follow, exclusively on HogsPlus.com.

🔺 Life Is A Gamble. If you take a quick look at what’s tattooed on the right arm of Arkansas defensive back Lorando ‘Snaxx’ Johnson, that’s what you will find. It’s a mindset that drives him each and every day, and that’s just the tip of the needle. Watch episode 2 of the Arkansas football series Behind the Ink featuring Lorando!

🔺 All-Time Relay. Years of elite athletes have helped Arkansas win the most Division I men’s track and field championships. Three relays are currently held at NCAA championships — the 4x100 meter relay, the 4x400 meter relay and the Distance Medley Relay. But which one fits Arkansas for an all-time team the best? NCAA.com put together their all-time Arkansas men's track and field relay team to answer that question.

🔺 Medal Mania. Six different Razorbacks entered in the NACAC U23 Championships accounted for seven medals this past weekend.

🥇 Romaine Beckford of Jamaica won gold in the high jump with a winning clearance of 7-3 (2.21).

🥈 Kason O’Riley finished right behind Romaine in the high jump and earned a silver medal for Team USA with a 7-1.75 (2.18) clearance.
🥈 Joanne Reid ran the third leg of Jamaica’s relay in the 4 x 400m and helped claim a second place finish for her team.
🥈 Connor Washington did the same for the United States relay squad and got himself a silver medal as well.

🥉 Connor Washington added a bronze medal as well in the 200m with a time of 20.74 (1.7 wind).
🥉 Destiny Huven took home third place in the 100m hurdles as the Wisconsin transfer ran 13.19 (-0.2 wind).
