Arkansas' defensive end Quincy Rhodes Jr. has been named to the Associated Press all-SEC second team for the second consecutive season. Despite leading the SEC in tackles for loss last year, Rhodes' Arkansas Razorbacks are projected to finish last in the conference once again according to preseason media polls.
Rhodes believes the team has the potential to improve significantly under new head coach Ryan Silverfield, who inherited a defense that allowed a league-worst 425.2 yards per game and 6.27 yards per play in 2024. Rhodes told reporters that the biggest change this season will be a matter of getting players to "get with the program or get going." He was particularly impressed by his own tackle for loss total of 15 ½ last season, which was the highest single-season total for an Arkansas player since 2015.
With a rebuilding process ahead, Rhodes aims to lead the team by putting forth his best effort on the field.
