Arkansas football finished with a disappointing 7-6 record last season but Sam Pittman and Co. have the pieces to potentially turn things around.

The Razorbacks bring back a ton of talent from last season’s team that just made a bowl game and beat Kansas in an overtime thriller. After a 3-0 start to the season, going just 4-6 in the final 10 games of the year was disappointing, to say the least.

If Arkansas is going to bounce back, these guys must have breakout seasons.

As a freshman Quincey McAdoo put up some solid numbers as a reserve cornerback for the Razorbacks. He had an immediate impact, playing in eight games and recording 30 total tackles and a sack with two interceptions and four pass breakups.

McAdoo was impressive right away in Arkansas’ secondary.

Heading into the 2023 season, the former receiver could play either safety or cornerback for the Razorbacks this upcoming season and Phil Steele even has him projected as a starting safety alongside Hudson Clark this upcoming season which would make for a strong Arkansas secondary.

We’ve just seen McAdoo scratch the surface and I think he could become an All-SEC defensive back this year or in the coming seasons. I’m buying stock now.
