FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas football coach Sam Pittman has never been shy in his praise of quarterback KJ Jackson.

Since arriving during the 2024 spring session, Jackson has heaped praise from the Razorbacks' lead man.

“I think we’ve got something special with KJ Jackson for our future,” Pittman said at the time.

Pittman said much of the same at SEC Media Days in July.

“I believe in him wholeheartedly,” Pittman said in Atlanta. “I believe he's the quarterback for us in the future, I do. We're not going out and looking for somebody else when Taylen Green leaves.
