Arkansas QB Battle Stays Open Entering Red-White Game

Coaches will use a controlled scrimmage to judge how the contenders handle pressure.

Overview

  • Offensive coordinator Tim Cramsey said there is no leader between redshirt sophomore KJ Jackson and redshirt freshman AJ Hill as spring camp closes.
  • Charting from team periods shows Hill at about 73% completions and Jackson near 71.5% in 7‑on‑7 and 11‑on‑11 work.
  • The Red‑White Game will feature evenly split rosters with no set first‑team offense, with Mitch Stewart and Larry Smith calling plays to keep it evaluative.
  • Cramsey said the review extends beyond practice tape to meeting habits and how each quarterback communicates with teammates.
  • Cramsey described growing depth across the offense but said the unit is not game‑ready yet, citing improved protection calls, a few recent ball‑handling lapses, and more work ahead in OTAs and fall camp.
