FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas feels like it is going to have a much better secondary this season than last, but it could get even more of a boost if things fall the Razorbacks' way later this spring.
Redshirt senior Kevin Richardson - who has played all five positions in the secondary - is optimistic about getting a sixth year of eligibility if a projected NCAA rule change goes through in April.
Richardson redshirted in 2013 and played only one game in 2016 after tearing a pectoral muscle in the season opener. He is going through non-contact drills in a green jersey this spring while waiting to hear from the NCAA.
