Arkansas Razorbacks returned to the practice field on a sweltering afternoon, drawing a crowd of NFL scouts eager to evaluate the team’s progress in its seventh training camp session. Quarterback KJ Jackson connected with tight end Ty Lockwood in the closing seconds of a live‑tackling drill, delivering a 22‑yard touchdown that capped a flurry of offensive activity. The offense answered an early setback when Quincy Rhodes and Steven Soles combined for an eight‑yard sack, but the unit rallied to move 38 yards in the first two‑minute drill, highlighted by Jamari Hawkins’ 27‑yard gain on third‑and‑10. Defensive tackle David Oke and his teammate Carlon Jones praised the improved energy in the trenches, though both acknowledged that missed tackles still lingered, a point underscored by coaches Kynjee Cotton and Landius Wilkerson during the session. Scouts from the Arizona Cardinals, Indianapolis Colts, Las Vegas Raiders and New York Jets watched closely, while former Arkansas track coach Chris Bucknam, recently inducted into the U.S. Track & Field Coaches Hall of Fame, was mentioned in a side note about the program’s multi‑sport excellence. With practice No. 7 scheduled for Thursday, offensive line coaches are slated to meet the media, promising further insight into the Razorbacks’ evolving scheme as the heat continues to test the squad’s stamina.
