Arkansas is coming off a 9-4 season in 2021 led by team captain, KJ Jefferson’s 3340 yards and 27 touchdowns. One national pundit, RJ Young had something to say about Jefferson for next season and that’s labeling him as a “dark horse” for the 2022 Heisman trophy.
It doesn’t come without merit due to Jefferson’s performance last season where he played well against a lot of the SEC’s best past defenses. Texas A&M was the best pass defense in the SEC last season but allowed Jefferson to throw for 212 yards and two 80+ yard touchdown bombs in the first half before going down to injury in the third quarter.
