FAYETTEVILLE – The University of Arkansas Athletic Department had 43 Razorback student-athletes named to the Chancellor’s List for their success in the classroom for the fall academic semester the Athletic Department announced today.

The Razorbacks had 43 student-athletes named to the Chancellor’s List and 210 who were honored on the Athletic Department Honor Roll last week.

"We are extremely proud that more than 40 Razorback student-athletes are among the top scholars recognized by Chancellor Gearhart at the University of Arkansas," Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Jeff Long. "These young men and women have excelled in the classroom while succeeding with their respective teams in the nation’s most competitive athletic conference.
