In 2206, Razorback men’s head coach Doug Case announced the addition of Arkansas alum Brandon Battle to the coaching staff as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator.
Battle, from Edwardsville, Illinois, competed for the Razorbacks from 2022 to 2025, earning an All-America honor in the 4 x 400m relay along with SEC Indoor silver medals in the 4 x 400m relay and distance medley relay (45.45 second leg split).
Among all sports in the SEC, Battle was Arkansas men’s representative on the Brad Davis 2024-25 SEC Community Service team.
Indoors, Battle set a career best of 45.77 in the 400m and ranks No. 8 on the UA all-time list. He ran second leg with a 45.23 split on a 3:03.18 indoor 4 x 400m relay performance at the Tyson Invitational which ranks No. 4 on the UA all-time list.
Outdoors when Arkansas won the 2025 Mt. SAC Relays 4 x 400m, Battle ran first leg (45.5 split) as the Razorbacks produced a time of 3:01.82, which ranks No. 6 on the UA all-time list. Battle also ran the opening leg of the Razorback 4 x 400m relay that posted the leading time of 3:02.13 in the 2025 NCAA West First Round. That time ranks No. 9 on the UA all-time list.
Battle relishes the opportunity given his experiences as a Razorback, which included being part of a program that won seven SEC team titles during his four indoor and outdoor track and field seasons. Arkansas also claimed a pair of SEC triple crowns during that time span, along with a national championship at the 2023 NCAA Indoor meet.
