Arkansas receiver Jadon Haselwood, who transferred to the Razorbacks from Oklahoma, is shown during a spring practice on Thursday, April 7, 2022.
FAYETTEVILLE — Jimmy Smith heard Jadon Haselwood’s name come out of a reporter’s mouth Saturday afternoon and a big grin appeared on his face.
It happened instantaneously. The Razorbacks’ third-year running backs coach was more than happy to talk about one of his former players.
“You see the smile?” Smith asked. “That’s my guy.”
Smith, who heads up an expected position of strength for Arkansas, was a key reason the Razorbacks secured the commitment of the player likely to lead the team at wide receiver.
