Good morning. From Little Rock to Fayetteville, we were calling those Hogs all weekend long. Let’s get you caught up on everything else that went down over the past few days.
Now, what has all been mixed into today’s Brew?
🎥 Face-to-Face with Landon Jackson
🏐 Hogs win back-to-back
🐗 And so much more!
🎙️ HOG POD: LANDON JACKSON
Total transformation. If you find yourself trying to figure out who No. 40 is on Arkansas’ defensive line this season, you won’t be alone. Landon Jackson looks like a different person. The junior is entering his second season with the Razorbacks after transferring from LSU, has added 40-plus pounds to his frame in the offseason. But gaining that much weight is a lot of work—and a LOT of eating. In this episode of the Hog Pod, we talk with Jackson about his journey to Arkansas from Texarkana, and to becoming the player he is today.
📈 STOCK UP
🔺 Diggin’ It. The Arkansas volleyball team bounced back over the weekend with two key victories over Colorado State and Michigan in the Wooo Pig Invitational.
On Friday night, the Razorbacks played in their third match in three days and took down the Rams in five sets. Senior Taylor Head led the way for the Hogs with 23 kills, which tied her career high. She also added 14 digs for a double-double, her fourth of the season. Graduate outside Jill Gillen also had a double-double with 19 kills and a team-high 15 digs.
One rest day later and the Hogs were back at it against the Wolverines, notching their second Big Ten win of the season with a sweep. Taylor had another phenomenal day, posting 17 kills on 34 swings for a .471 hitting percentage. She also added 11 digs for a double-double and a service ace. Junior libero Courtney Jackson had a season-high 16 digs and the Hog defense posted 7.5 blocks on the day, led by junior middle Sania Petties with four.

🔺 Early Arrivals. Over 2,700 fans came to Barnhill Arena to see the Razorbacks play over the weekend, bringing the season mark to 12,495 with nine home matches yet to play this season! Check out all the highlights in front of the home crowd here.
🔺 Dominant Debut. No. 27 Arkansas women’s golf put together an impressive second place showing at the Carmel Cup played at Pebble Beach Golf Links with a 14-under 1066 in the six-count-five format. Freshman Maria José Marin played in her first collegiate tournament and displayed why she is a Golf Channel Preseason All-American. Maria fired off an 11-under 205 (67-70-68) over the weekend to match the Arkansas freshman 54-hole record and round out in second place in the field.
🔺 Late Charge. Birdies from John Driscoll III, Mateo Pulcini and John Daly II on the 18th hole pushed the Razorback men’s golf team from 12th to sixth place after day one at the Folds of Honor Collegiate. Arkansas is currently +5 as a team, with Driscoll at even-par after the first 18. He’s tied for 15th in the field.

🔺 Stat Of The Week. Every Tuesday following an Arkansas football win, we’ll unveil a special Stat of the Week. The spotlight goes to safety Jayden Johnson. Despite being targeted in coverage six times, Jayden allowed a passer rating of just 2.8, tied for the lowest among all FBS safeties this week with at least two targets. The junior from Cedartown, GA was responsible for creating two of Western Carolina’s five turnovers with a forced fumble and interception.
