FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas offensive lineman Colton Jackson was hurt when he learned he may miss as many as six games in his junior season.
Jackson, a left tackle with 13 career starts, underwent back surgery in July and was the first in a long line of offensive lineman Razorbacks coaches knew would miss time. But Jackson did not want to settle for coming back midway through the year.
So he attacked his rehab, coming into the football facilities 2-3 times per day, and sometimes on weekends, to work with head athletic trainer Dave Polanski and strength and conditioning coach Trumain Carroll.
