Tight End

Starter: Hudson Henry
Backup: Trey Knox

This is a position of some uncertainty for the Razorbacks. Last year’s starter and leading receiver at the position, Blake Kern, is now gone and none of the guys that are supposed to replace them have made much of an impact yet in their careers. This could be a position that Arkansas looks to add to in the portal.

The first guy that will get a chance to be the starting tight end is Hudson Henry. Henry only had four catches for 27 yards last season, so he has a ways to go as a receiver. Trey Knox is a senior, but he has yet to do much in his career in Fayetteville.

Arkansas did sign some tight ends in their 2022 recruiting class. It is unlikely however that either of them is going to be ready to play at the SEC level just yet.
