Preseason Magazine Ranks Razorbacks’ Quarterbacks High

In a league-wide ranking of the groups of position groups, Athlon has respect for KJ Jefferson & Co.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — At least one preseason magazine has some respect for the potential of Arkansas' quarterback depth.

Athlon Sports, a partner in the Sports Illustrated Media Group, ranked the Razorbacks' quarterback room third in the SEC in their preseason magazine that is on sale now.

Obviously, that's based on the strength of starter KJ Jefferson.

Malik Hornsby hasn't exactly done anything to give anybody the warm fuzzies if he has to come in and grad transfer Cade Fortin hasn't taken a snap in the SEC.

The Hogs better make sure KJ stays upright.

Alabama's quarterback group of Bryce Young, Jalen Milroe and Ty Simpson were the obvious No. 1 choice.

Tennessee's trio of Hendon Hooker, Joe Milton III and Tayven Jackson was No. 2.
