The Arkansas receiving corps has a tall task in 2018 to provide some solid support to Kelley, or whoever lines up under center for the bulk of the year. There’s a lot of experience coming back at wide receiver too.

Of the two spots that Arkansas will have a starting receiver in 2018, rising senior Jonathan Nance should have one locked up. There’s a few guys that could step up and lock down a starting spot, but none really stick out yet besides Nance.

In 2017, Nance caught 37 passes for 539 yards and five touchdowns. Arkansas tried to get Nance the ball any way they could. He was the best source of offense last year as he led the team in every major receiving stat category.

Other receivers like Deon Stewart, Brandon Martin, and Jared Cornelius, could also be an integral part of the Arkansas receiving corps. However, the experience at wide receiver for the Hogs needs to be one of the best parts of the offense for this team to succeed.
