Jadon’s catches

Arkansas junior wide receiver Jadon Haselwood had seven catches for 74 yards Friday.

Haselwood has at least three catches in every game this season and a streak of 27 games with at least one reception.

The receptions streak started in 2019 when Haselwood was a true freshman at Oklahoma when had three catches for 25 yards in LSU’s 62-28 victory over the Sooners in the Peach Bowl, which was a College Football Playoff semifinal game.

Haselwood transferred from Oklahoma to Arkansas after last season.

“I wish we could’ve held up a little bit more [Friday in pass protection] so we could get some more balls to him,” Razorbacks Coach Sam Pittman said. “Haselwood’s a tough man, both mentally and physically. He’s much older than what his age is [21] to be perfectly honest with you. The way he acts, the way he carries himself.

“He was a great addition and we’re certainly going to try to get him to come back. We’ll talk to him about his draft status, his draft grade. See if we can’t get him to come back.”

Haselwood has accepted an invitation to play in the East-West Shrine Bowl, a college all-star game, but he could decide to skip it and return to Arkansas next season.

On the season, Haselwood has 59 catches for 702 yards and 3 touchdowns despite playing with a sprained joint in his shoulder.

“Yeah, it’s been beat up for a while,” Pittman said. “Now it’s gotten a little bit better. There for a while, you saw, he was in green [no contact jersey at practice] for quite a little bit. But it healed up a lot better the last four or five weeks.”
