The 2024 Arkansas football season hasn’t quite reached its halfway point, but it has quietly eclipsed one milestone already.
With five games down, the 3-2 Razorbacks have already seen 17 players burn their redshirt by appearing in more than four regular-season games.
It is still a relatively new rule, first implemented in 2018, so it’s understandable that many Arkansas football fans probably didn’t recognize the significance of last week’s 21-17 loss to Texas A&M as the season’s fifth game.
There really was no reason for that to register, as Arkansas hasn’t had a Matthew Sluka situation that shined a light on the rule.
