FAYETTEVILLE — When Arkansas coach Sam Pittman was asked about Treylon Burks on Saturday, he found himself saying one word over and over: special.
Burks was just that in the Razorbacks’ season opener against No. 4 Georgia, locking in career highs in catches (7) and receiving yards (102) while tallying his first career touchdown on a 49-yard strike from quarterback Feleipe Franks.
In the loss, Burks became the first Arkansas receiver to total 100-plus receiving yards since Mike Woods against San Jose State last September, and third former Warren native to do so against the Bulldogs.
“He’s a really good player,” Pittman said.
