Austin Cantrell may be the next great Arkansas tight end. Head Coach Bret Bielema sang his praises following the spring game.

“Austin is probably as good a blocking tight end as I’ve ever had here and really before I came here. Austin Cantrell is a very special player,” Bielema said. As far as room for improvement, the Fifth-year Arkansas Head Coach added that the redshirt sophomore needs to work on the passing game.

Cantrell is a dependable receiver and a big time blocker. In the 2016 season, he had five starts in the 13 game season in which he racked up 13 receptions for 120 yards and two touchdowns. He recorded a catch in 10 games and was also on the receiving end of the longest pass play of the season…a 32-yard gain.

Cantrell is a tough blocker who can make catches, and the only tight end on the Razorbacks roster with extensive experience in game situations.
