FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas safety Jalen Catalon was projected by The Associated Press to be a second-team All-American in 2021, and he looked the part in the opener against Rice.

Catalon had two interceptions and 11 tackles in Week 1. But injuries eventually derailed his season.

Catalon injured his left hand in the fourth game against Texas A&M when he already was playing with a banged-up right shoulder.
