Flashback: Arkansas Football’s Class of 2020

Is Arkansas’ 2020 recruiting class the worst ever? Sam Pittman was put in a tough spot.

The 2019 recruiting class ended up being the class that turned Arkansas into a contender in the SEC West division.

It was Chad Morris’s only contribution to the program, really.

The year 2020 was a weird year for sports, but also the start of the Sam Pittman era. Pittman used Morris’s class and created future NFL players and Arkansas football legends to start a run of three-straight bowl appearances.

His first class was eye-popping, though not in a good way. In fact, you can say it was the worst class in recent memory. It included several players who transferred out and some who just never saw action on the field, which became a problem for everyone, not just Pittman.

The good news is everything has been solid since, at least.
