The Arkansas football team will kick off spring practices on March 7, and are slated to hold the annual Red-White spring game on April 13, the program announced Wednesday.
The Razorbacks will hold the NCAA-allowed 12 practices leading up to the spring finale inside Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium. That weekend will also serve as a memorial for legendary Arkansas athletic trainer Dean Weber, who passed away on Feb. 13.
The A Club will hold its annual spring reunion the day of the Red-White game, which is held to welcome back all former Razorback student-athletes. Following the game, Weber’s celebration of life will take place inside Bud Walton Arena at 4 p.m. For more information on the A Club or the reunion, contact the Razorback Foundation at (479) 443-9000.
With Head Coach Sam Pittman entering his fifth year at the helm, the Razorbacks will open up the regular season against Arkansas-Pine Bluff in Little Rock on Aug. 31. The Fayetteville home-opener will be held on Sept. 14, as Alabama-Birmingham comes to town. The UAB game will also serve as part of the University’s Family Weekend, when this year’s U of A Hall of Honor inductees will also be recognized.
More details about Family Weekend will be updated at family.uark.edu as they are made available.
The Hogs will host LSU for Homecoming on Oct. 19, which will be the earliest the two schools have ever played inside the state of Arkansas. The Arkansas Alumni Association will host a number of Homecoming activities throughout the week, leading up to Saturday’s game. Additional details will be available at homecoming.uark.edu.
Arkansas will honor the United States Armed Services during the home finale on Nov. 23, against Louisiana Tech. It will also be Senior Day to honor the senior class of Hogs.
