FAYETTEVILLE — For University of Arkansas football fans eager to know who might jump into the void at wide receiver left behind by the departure of ace junior Treylon Burks, the opening day of spring drills provided an early glimpse.
Quarterback KJ Jefferson had his eye on sophomore Ketron Jackson Jr. during key moments of the spring-practice opener Sunday inside Reynolds Razorback Stadium, and the duo hooked up for a handful of receptions.
Jackson got past cornerback Khari Johnson to haul in a deep-ball touchdown from Jefferson down the left sideline to highlight the 7-on-7 drills.
Jackson wasn’t the only pass catcher making a big impression.
