FAYETTEVILLE -- University of Arkansas wide receiver Deon Stewart suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his knee in Saturday's scrimmage that will sideline him for the season.
Chrissy Stewart, the player's mother, confirmed the injury in a Facebook post late Saturday.
Stewart, who redshirted as a freshman in 2015, would be eligible to apply for a sixth year of eligibility.
The lone scholarship senior among the receivers, Stewart ranked fourth on the team with 22 catches for 178 yards in 2018. The 5-11, 161-pounder from Hardy also was expected to reprise his role as the Razorbacks' top punt returner this season.
