Petrino-era players still catching passes

FAYETTEVILLE -- Heading into today's Arkansas vs. Toledo game in Little Rock, it seems Bobby Petrino's Arkansas 2015 presumed personnel group legacy starts somewhat catching up to his unexpected actual one.

Current Louisville coach Petrino last coached an Arkansas game when his 2011 Razorbacks beat Kansas State in the Cotton Bowl on Jan. 7, 2012. But Petrino and his staff recruited the 2012 freshman class, signed by February, before he was fired that April.

Eleven of Arkansas' 12 fifth-year seniors and two true seniors -- receiver Keon Hatcher and injured-for-the-season running back Jonathan Williams -- are Petrino scholarship recruits or Petrino-era walk-ons.
