Flashback: Arkansas Football’s Class of 2013

The class of 2013 was Bret Bielema’s initial signing class at Arkansas and set the stage for him to have the success he did enjoy in his five seasons.

Bret Bielema’s first signing class as the Arkansas head coach ultimately proved to be one of his best.

Bielema was hired on Dec. 4, 2012, just weeks after John L. Smith was dutifully let go following a 4-8 debacle after starting in the AP Top 10.

He had quite a bit of ground to make up, and the transfer portal wasn’t a thing at the time, but he and his staff did a relatively good job of securing some talent.

We look back at the top 10 most impactful players from that class today, which was ranked 23rd nationally by 247 Sports and 26th by On3.
