FAYETTEVILLE — Offensive tackle Dalton Wagner plans to return for the 2022 season, Arkansas coach Sam Pittman said Monday.

Wagner, a 6-9, 330-pound redshirt senior, has one year of eligibility remaining due to the NCAA’s decision to allow a free year to players who were on the roster during the covid-19 disruption in 2020.

Wagner has been the Razorbacks’ starting right tackle since midway through the 2020 season. He missed three games after undergoing surgery on a finger in October, but returned for Arkansas’ game against Mississippi State earlier this month.
