Armstrong Receives Honorable Mention Recognition From Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award
TYLER, Texas – Arkansas wide receiver Andrew Armstrong has been named to the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award honorable mention list following his standout performances during the Razorbacks’ thrilling 19-14 win over No. 4 Tennessee on Oct. 5, the Tyler Chamber of Commerce and SPORTyler announced on Tuesday.
Armstrong registered nine receptions for a game-high 132 yards during the Razorbacks’ victory over the fourth-ranked Vols. The Dallas native became the fifth Razorback in program history to have a 100-yard receiving game against Tennessee and the first since Drew Morgan on Oct. 3, 2015. Armstrong’s 132 receiving yards were the most by an opposing receiver against Tennessee since Nov. 19, 2022.
This season, Armstrong leads the Razorbacks in receptions (38) and receiving yards (552). His 552 yards rank 11th nationally and second among all SEC receivers. Armstrong has caught a pass in 33 consecutive games and has recorded multiple receptions in 28 straight games since his 2021 season at Texas A&M-Commerce.

Armstrong is the third Razorback to earn honorable mention recognition from the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award this season, joining Taylen Green and Ja’Quinden Jackson, who were recognized on Sept. 4 following a season-opening win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
