Sategna shows off lethal speed in second scrimmage

Isaiah Sategna has speed to burn. The question is will they have him back deep returning kicks permanently for the Razorbacks in 2023?

Everyone around the Arkansas football program knows about Isaiah Sategna’s speed acumen.

Now maybe the Southeastern Conference and the rest of the country will as well.

The redshirt freshman speedster housed a kickoff 100 yards in Saturday’s scrimmage and will challenge for the job that has been held by AJ Green the last two years.

Bryce Stephens and Lorando Johnson are also auditioning for the role. Stephens of course had the epic punt return touchdown that saved Arkansas from almost certain defeat against Missouri State a year ago.

Sategna returned two kicks for touchdowns while at Fayetteville High and very nearly returned another in the state championship game in 2021 against Bryant.

Scott Fountain is going to have a hard time keeping his speed off the field this season it seems, although they may want to avoid getting him injured.

Either way, it’s not a bad problem to have.
