Celebrating a Razorback Trailblazer

A half-century ago, Jon Richardson stepped on the field as the first African-American scholarship football player at the University of Arkansas. As we commemorate the anniversary of this historic moment in Razorback history, join us as we celebrate Richardson and other Razorback trailblazers who paved the way for thousands of student-athletes to come.

On Thursday, November 19 at 6 p.m., Razorback Athletics will host a special virtual event. The program is free and open to the public. Interested participants are encouraged to RSVP in advance. Once an RSVP is received, the webinar link and reminders will be sent via e-mail.
