Arkansas Football: 3 bold predictions for December 2020

2. Treylon Burks reaches 850 yards on the year

Treylon Burks has been a breakout sensation this season for Arkansas. Feleipe Franks has needed that No. 1 receiver to push him through the season and he’s been just that.

In fact, Burks leads the team with 39 receptions for 598 yards and six touchdowns. His sophomore season has been impressive and that comes after a freshman campaign in which he had 475 yards and no touchdowns on 29 catches. He’s been a pleasant surprise for Arkansas fans and he’s just getting started.

With just two games remaining (assuming Alabama still happens), Burks will need at least 152 yards to reach 750 on a shortened season and no one would consider that anything but outstanding and 252 to reach 850. And he’ll do it.

In just 10 games, Burks will have over 50 catches for 850 yards and nine touchdowns. If that’s the case, he’ll enter the 2021 season as arguably the best returning receiver in the SEC.
