Arkansas receiver Bryce Stephens makes a catch Saturday, Aug. 7, 2021, during practice at the university practice facility in Fayetteville.
FAYETTEVILLE — Many players on Arkansas’ current roster were in elementary school or junior high school the last time the Razorbacks returned a punt for a touchdown.
That came courtesy of Joe Adams in the Cotton Bowl against Kansas State in January 2012. Arkansas has been in a long, frustrating drought in that regard since.
Wide receiver Treylon Burks provided numerous sparks in the return game as a freshman and landed on an All-SEC team as a return specialist, but he never found the end zone.
