VAULT: To celebrate the announcement of Darren McFadden's #5 jersey being honored, we're bringing back the audio versions of the Hogs+ original film, 'Put Em' in the Heisman'.

____________

Darren McFadden burst on to the national scene in 2006, winning the Doak Walker Award and finishing second in the Heisman Trophy voting, behind winner Troy Smith. It was a contentious decision at the time, but it set the stage for a big 2007 season. Despite some off-field drama, the 2007 team found its footing and won five of its last six games, including a season-ending, triple-overtime win against No. 1 LSU in Baton Rouge. And Houston Nutt's postgame interview became instantly iconic. But the Heisman eluded McFadden once again. And it still bothers Arkansans to this day. In Part 2 of our exclusive conversation with Nutt and McFadden, we take you through the 2007 season—from a record-breaking performance against South Carolina to the shock of not winning the Heisman.

DJ Wagner has lived his entire life in the shadow of a name that carries weight in basketball circles. His grandfather, Milt Wagner, was a Louisville legend. His father, Dajuan Wagner, was a star at Memphis under John Calipari. Now at Arkansas, DJ is writing his own story—one built on family, competition, and an unwavering drive to win.
