Arkansas Releases Spring-Game Rosters, Keeps QB Race Open

The split rosters signal a true evaluation checkpoint for the staff.

Overview

  • The staff, which released balanced Red and White rosters Thursday, placed AJ Hill on White and KJ Jackson on Red.
  • Offensive coordinator Tim Cramsey says the starting job has no leader and remains open through the weekend.
  • Charting from spring drills shows Hill at about 73% completions and Jackson near 71.5% in 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 work.
  • Saturday’s Red-White game will be used for evaluation as assistants Mitch Stewart and Larry Smith call plays with no set first unit.
  • Coaches plan to keep assessing through summer and fall, noting Hill’s early pre-snap edge from Memphis and Jackson’s dual-threat experience from five games in 2025 before a decision ahead of Sept. 5.
