Third-year strength and conditioning coach Jamil Walker’s salary rose to $425,000 on March 1, according to a public record obtained by the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette from the UA on Friday. His contract term runs for two more seasons through the end of February 2024.

Walker, who came from Georgia on Coach Sam Pittman’s original staff at Arkansas in December 2019, has frequently been credited with increasing the size and fitness levels of the Razorbacks by Pittman and Arkansas players.
