FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Arkansas checked in at No. 4 in Perfect Game’s preseason top 25.

The SEC tops the poll with nine schools on the preseason list, including three of the top 5 and six of the top 10 coming from the league.

The Razorbacks, led by 24th-year head coach Dave Van Horn, begin the 2026 season against Oklahoma State on Feb. 13 in the Shriners Children’s College Showdown at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. In 2025, Arkansas went 50-15 overall and 20-10 in SEC play to clinch its sixth 20-win SEC campaign and make its 12th trip to Omaha in program history.

Van Horn’s Hogs, the winningest team in the nation since the start of the 2017 campaign with 383 total victories, are the only SEC program, and one of only two programs in the country along with Southern Miss, to win 40-plus games in each of the last eight full seasons: 2017 (45), 2018 (48), 2019 (46), 2021 (50), 2022 (46), 2023 (43), 2024 (44) and 2025 (50).
