FAYETTEVILLE — Offensive line coach Eric Mateos will not be retained by newly hired Arkansas football coach Ryan Silverfield, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette has learned.
Arkansas’ offensive line play was one of its few bright spots during a 2-10 campaign this season. PFSN College rated the Razorback offensive line the nation's top unit during the regular season with a grade of 92.4. Texas A&M, Missouri, Georgia and Ole Miss rounded out the top five.
The Razorbacks signed three offensive linemen — Hugh Smith, Ben Mubenga and Tucker Young — during early signing period, who were recruited by Mateos.
