FAYETTEVILLE -- As Montaric Brown's playing time has increased at the University of Arkansas, so has his voice.
Brown, a defensive back from Ashdown and one of the prized signees in the Razorbacks' class of 2017, is trying to take on more of a leadership role during the strange summer of 2020.
The Razorbacks were not afforded the standard 15 practices of spring due to the coronavirus pandemic, but they were allowed back on campus in June and began weight lifting workouts and agility drills with the strength coaches starting June 8.
Brown, who underwent surgery for a sports hernia in January, would have been held out or limited if the Razorbacks had gone through spring drills in March and April.
