Luke Hasz was the best first-year tight end in the country.
And he only played in five games.
The Razorbacks’ tight end was named Freshman Tight End of the Year and a first-team Freshman All-American by College Football Network on Thursday. Hasz had 16 catches for 253 yards over his 17 quarters of action during his first collegiate season.
He was joined as Freshman All-American by teammate Jaylon Braxton, a cornerback. Braxton was named honorable mention after his first year at Arkansas in which he finished with 20 tackles, an interception, a forced fumble and eight pass break-ups.
Hasz was lost for the season in Arkansas’ Week 5 loss to Texas A&M when he broke his collarbone in the first quarter. He will be recovered from the injury by the spring and should team with Ty Washington to give Arkansas plenty of pass-catching from the spot in 2024.
