FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas running back Ja’Quinden Jackson will not play for the Razorbacks at the Liberty Bowl, a team spokesman confirmed Wednesday after Jackson announced he was declaring for the NFL Draft.
He has accepted an invitation to play at the East-West Shrine Bowl on Jan. 30, 2025, in Arlington, Texas.
Jackson was a redshirt senior this season but has one more year of eligibility remaining due to the bonus year afforded to players who were in college during the 2020 season that was impacted by covid-19 restrictions.
Jackson redshirted at Texas in 2020, then played three seasons at Utah.
