Few players in the history of Arkansas football have experienced a meteoric rise quite like the one Quincy Rhodes Jr. rides into Saturday’s showdown with LSU.
The 6-foot-6 defensive end has reached the potential he showed as a four-star recruit at North Little Rock High and now stands a potential game-wrecker in Arkansas’ bid to secure its first SEC win in Baton Rouge, as well as the most likely Razorback to bounce early for the 2026 NFL Draft.
LSU Provides Perfect Opportunity
That’s quite a rise for a junior who only played four snaps vs LSU last year and didn’t even make his first start until last season’s Liberty Bowl, when Arkansas’ defense was gutted by early opt outs or the transfer portal.
