Arkansas quarterback KJ Jefferson surveys the field on Saturday, Sept. 11, 2021 during the fourth quarter of a football game against Texas at Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville.

In his corner will be a group of 20-plus people that includes family, friends and mentors not always able to travel great distances to see him live and in-person. And many of them — if not all — will be loudly representing the first-year Arkansas starting quarterback in custom-made t-shirts.
