FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas coach Chad Morris spent the early part of his Wednesday radio show doting on the Razorbacks’ newcomers.
The newcomer who has received the most attention this week is quarterback Nick Starkel, the redshirt-junior graduate transfer who will start his first game for the Razorbacks on Saturday against Colorado State. Starkel last started a game in 2017 while at Texas A&M.
“Our guys have responded extremely well with Nick and appreciate his leadership,” Morris said. “Watching him take over, it’s been impressive this week.”
Starkel completed 17 of 24 passes for 201 yards and a touchdown last week at Ole Miss.
