Both playing on the line for the Lions tonight. Don’t often see two Hogs in the NFL on the same team both playing. And then Jake Bates is their kicker.

Arkansas added a commitment Friday from 2026 athlete Jack Duckworth out of Rockwall High School in Rockwall, Texas. Duckworth is the seventh commitment in the 2026 recruiting class for the Razorbacks.

Duckworth chose the Hogs over offers from programs such as Wisconsin, SMU, Pittsburgh, Arizona State and others. It looks like Duckworth was recruited by secondary coach Deron Wilson and co-defensive coordinator Marcus Woodson, so it's likely he's being recruited as a defensive back.

According to a Nov. 25 post on X, Duckworth tallied 34 receptions for 472 yards and six touchdowns for Rockwall this season. He also added one interception as a defensive back on the year and he had 718 all purpose yards.

Arkansas football still has a game left to play Saturday at Missouri, but that's not stopping head coach Sam Pittman from recruiting the transfer portal.

Zach Atkins, a tight end transfer out of Division II program Northwest Missouri State, told HawgBeat on Wednesday that he'll be visiting the Razorbacks from Dec. 11-12.

Standing at 6-foot-5, 245-pound, Atkins caught 18 passes for 179 yards and three touchdowns across nine games in 2024. In 2023, he made 12 grabs for 181 yards and one score.

The sophomore out of Olathe, Kansas, has already received offers from programs like South Carolina, West Virginia, Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, Ole Miss and others since entering the transfer portal.

Originally an unranked prospect out of Blue Valley Southwest High School, Atkins started his playing career as a wide receiver before making the transition to tight end in college.

Arkansas is in need of serious help at the tight end position this offseason, especially after Tyrus Washington and Var'Keyes Gumms were removed from the team in October for a violation of team rules, so landing Atkins is likely high up the priority list for the Hogs.

Arkansas redshirt freshman linebacker Carson Dean will transfer from the program, he announced Friday evening.

The Texas native is the 11th Hog to officially announce his intentions of entering the transfer portal, joining players like quarterback Malachi Singleton, wide receiver Davion Dozier and others. Former tight ends Ty Washington and Var’keyes Gumms, who were dismissed from the team during the season, will also enter the portal.

Arkansas will now await its bowl destination, which will be revealed Sunday, Dec. 8.

Arkansas is No. 51 in the first NET ranking released today

2025 three-star Daniel Anderson out of Bryant decommitted from Notre Dame today. He was a four-star when he committed.

Arkansas hasn't offered as far as I know. I've asked around to see if the Hogs will be players here.

Don't like the idea of bringing in NFL guys to college, but the more CFB evolves into NFL, it might work.

The Arkansas Razorbacks (6-5, 3-4 SEC) will finish the regular season Saturday against the No. 24 Missouri Tigers (8-3, 4-3 SEC) in the latest edition of the Battle Line Rivalry at Memorial Stadium in Columbia, Missouri.

It's been well-documented that the Razorbacks have never won a game in Columbia, as they sit with an 0-6 mark all-time against the Tigers there. With bowl eligibility already secured and 34-point loss to the Tigers last year fresh on the mind, the Hogs could generate momentum while also playing with a chip on their shoulder Saturday.

"We’re playing for a trophy," Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman said Monday. "We’re playing Missouri. They’re a rivalry game for us. They beat hell out of us last year. That should motivate us. The problem is a lot of the kids that are on the team and playing weren’t on the team last year too. So you have to find different ways to motivate. That’s my job. Instead of just going well, it’s Missouri. It’s a rival."

Arkansas is a 3-point underdog to the Tigers, according to BetSaracen odds. Here is how the HawgBeat staff is predicting Saturday's game, which will be streamed live on SEC Network:

With some expected winter weather, a Missouri team that has performed below expectations and an Arkansas team with really nothing to lose, this could end up being the perfect spot for a Razorback win. Realistically, how many Hog fans do you think are picking their team to win this game? Not a lot.

It's been a one-sided rivalry for too long now, but it's going to take some extra effort from the Arkansas side to change that. We will see if they have it in them to play with enough passion, but I don't see it happening. If it does, let's hope the bowl destination becomes much more appealing.

Missouri 19, Arkansas 17

This Arkansas team hasn’t looked “good” in all phases of the game since the Mississippi State matchup, and we all know the Bulldogs weren’t much competition.
For the Hogs to overcome what has been an awful losing streak in Columbia, Missouri, they NEED to play well offensively, defensively and on special teams to have a chance.

Similar to the Texas A&M series, until Arkansas figures out how to beat the Tigers away from Fayetteville, I’m simply not picking them to do so.
It’s close until the fourth quarter, but the Razorbacks lose in heartbreak fashion on a two-point conversion.

Missouri 29, Arkansas 28

The Razorbacks have had bad luck when they play in Columbia, but they need to buck that trend in this year’s edition of the Battle Line Rivalry. Manufactured rivalry or not, this is a trophy game and the Hogs have always struggled against the Tigers.

Missouri is ranked headed into this matchup, but they’re very much a beatable team. It just depends on what kind of Arkansas team shows up to play. Will they fold as they’ve done multiple times this season? Or are they locked in and ready to prove this game actually means something to them?

I correctly predicted the score last weekend so we’ll see if I can do it again. Arkansas wins in a close, low-scoring game.

Arkansas 21, Missouri 17

Jackson Collier - Basketball Recruiting Analyst​

Missouri has outclassed Arkansas in this game for a decade now, and unfortunately for Razorback fans, there’s not much to indicate that changing this year.

While this Missouri team might not be as talented as last year’s, and the game might be closer than recent matchups between the two programs, I don’t have a ton of confidence in this coaching staff to win a big game to close out the season.

There’s not a ton of momentum or excitement within the program at all, and Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz has clearly properly motivated his team for this game each year he’s been at Missouri. The only good news for Arkansas fans is that the game isn’t in Fayetteville, since for whatever reason Pittman teams seem to perform better on the road in conference play.

Missouri 28, Arkansas 24

The Arkansas Razorbacks (8-2, 0-0 SEC) will face their second in-state opponent of the season on Saturday when they head to Little Rock to play the Central Arkansas Bears (2-7, 0-0 ASUN) at Simmons Bank Arena.

This is the second neutral-site game in a row for the Razorbacks, who played at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday and earned a gritty 89-87 win over the No. 14 Michigan Wolverines. UCA is in the midst of a three-game losing streak, and took losses to Georgia Tech, Little Rock and Arkansas-Pine Bluff in recent weeks.

The Bears are led by first-year head coach John Shulman, who spent the last five seasons at Division II Alabama-Hunstville, where he amassed a 112-39 record and made the NCAA Division II Tournament every year.

It's been a rough go of it for Shulman since he arrived in Conway, as the Bears only have wins over Randall University (National Christian College Athletic Association Division II) and North Carolina-Asheville. They've lost games to BYU, Utah, Western Illinois and the aforementioned losses to Georgia Tech, Little Rock and UAPB.

Here's HawgBeat's preview of what you need to know about the UCA Bears ahead of Saturday's contest, including analytics, potential starting lineups and more...
