UA official 'incredibly confident' despite APR drop

FAYETTEVILLE — The University of Arkansas football program, which finished last in the SEC standings in 2018 and 2019 with a 4-20 overall record, also struggled statistically from an academic progress standpoint.

Arkansas ranked last among SEC football teams in Academic Progress Rate (APR) for the 2018-19 school year with a score of 895, according to data released by the NCAA on Tuesday.

That score is for Chad Morris’ first full school year as the Razorbacks’ coach.

The good news for Arkansas is the football team’s multiyear APR score — a combination of scores for the four previous school years — is 962.
