CJ Brown announces he will return to Razorbacks
Two more Arkansas natives with starting experience announced on Friday that they will be back with the Razorbacks in 2026.
Benton graduate Braylen Russell posted on X that he would be back, as well as Bentonville alumnus CJ Brown, who many expected would return, and Brown made it official on Instagram. Russell and Brown were a part of Arkansas’ 2024 signing class and are key returnees who are ‘ALL IN’ along with quarterback KJ Jackson, offensive linemen Caden Kitler and Kobe Branham, plus All-SEC defensive end Quincy Rhodes Jr.
Brown played in all 12 games for Arkansas, including 10 starts. He hauled in 28 receptions for 319 yards and three touchdowns.
