What Sam Mbake’s dismissal means for Arkansas’ wide receivers heading into offseason

Sam Mbake, a wide receiver last year and in the spring for the Arkansas football team, was dismissed from the roster earlier in the fall, per reports.

The timing, it is believed, of the dismissal was after the Auburn game.

Mbake had not received much playing time on offense in his two seasons with the team after signing as a four-star recruit out of Georgia. He was an effective special-teams player, especially in his first collegiate season, 2022, where he played 72 snaps

As such, the depth of Arkansas’ wide receiving corps did not take much of a hit. Heading into the offseason, though, some other Razorbacks wideouts have some decisions to make.

Last year, the Razorbacks lost their top four wide receivers. Matt Landers and Jadon Haselwood turned professional while Ketron Jackson and Warren Thompson both transferred.

That could be the case again in 2023’s offseason.

Let’s take a look at how Arkansas’ wide-receiving corps looks heading into the spring.
