FAYETTEVILLE — Marshall Denton is exchanging his baseball cleats for turfs.
Denton, who has pitched for the Razorbacks since 2017, is a student assistant on Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn’s staff now. He will primarily assist Arkansas pitching coach Matt Hobbs and strength and conditioning coach Blaine Kinsley, and serve as the team’s bullpen coach.
“He’s already finished his (undergraduate) degree and been in the program many years,” Van Horn said. “He made that decision in the middle of the summer.”
Denton, who is from Searcy, said he began thinking about his post-playing career before the start of the 2020 season.
