Jeremiah Davenport has seen what an Eric Musselman coached team can do. A grad transfer from Cincinnati, Davenport knew this was the place for him to continue his long journey in basketball … one that started from a young age in a family that was always around the sport. His late father—who tragically passed away in 2021—had a major impact on his life, and he carries those lessons with him today. Davenport's drive helped him become a member of Cincinnati's 1,000-points club, and he's looking forward to a great final season with the Razorbacks.

Andrew Armstrong has had quite the journey to Arkansas and the SEC—college football's grandest stage. Underrecruited, Armstrong went to D2 Texas A&M-Commerce… where he spent four years, but didn't even play the first two after a redshirt season and a lost season due to Covid. Then, he excelled. Now, Armstrong has emerged as a go-to target for quarterback KJ Jefferson and the Arkansas offense. And make no mistake, this was always his plan. In this episode, we tell the story of how Andrew Armstrong is proof that no two journeys are the same.

Few Razorback football players through the years were as exciting to watch as Felix Jones. Alongside Darren McFadden, he formed one of the greatest backfields in college football history. Jones still holds the Arkansas school record for career yards per rush, was a First-Team All-American in 2007, and was part of some of the most memorable Razorback moments of the past quarter century. And though it was McFadden who got the spotlight as a two-time Heisman finalist, the duo was better together. In this episode, we take a look back with Felix Jones and find out what made him such a special player, and what made those Razorback teams so great.

If you find yourself trying to figure out who No. 40 is on Arkansas' defensive line this season, you won't be alone. Landon Jackson looks like a different person. The junior is entering his second season with the Razorbacks after transferring from LSU, has added 40-plus pounds to his frame in the offseason. But gaining that much weight is a lot of work—and a LOT of eating. In this episode, we talk with Jackson about his journey to Arkansas from Texarkana, and to becoming the player he is today.

It's hard to believe that Sam Pittman is entering his fourth season as Arkansas' head coach. In many ways, what he's done in such a short amount of time has been remarkable, turning the program around and restoring Razorback pride throughout the state with the program's first nine-win season in a decade, and back-to-back bowl wins for only the second time in school history. In this episode, we chat with the Head Hog about where the program is, why he's more excited than ever for this season, and what he's learned about being a head coach.

In this episode, we chat with KJ Jefferson about how he got to where he is today, why he decided to come back for more, and what he has planned for his senior season.
