Arkansas got some good news Wednesday in the form of a medical hardship waiver for running back Kody Walker.
Walker, expected to be a reserve behind primary ballcarriers Jonathan Williams and Alex Collins, suffered season-ending injuries early in the 2011 and '12 seasons. This was to be his senior season, but he now will be listed as a redshirt junior, making him eligible to return in 2016.
Walker stood out in the spring game with 26 carries for 174 yards and three touchdowns, and there's a chance he'll play a much bigger role next season with Williams a senior this year and Collins a potential early NFL draft entrant.
