“Preseason is about making sure we all understand who we are and imprinting all that goes with that,” head coach Colby Hale said. “We have pushed ourselves hard in every area. We grew in some areas and we have some areas we need to continue to grow in.”

The Hogs will open the season at Razorback Field on Thursday, August 17, against in-state foe Arkansas State. First kick is set for 6:30 p.m. and the match will be streamed on SEC Network+.
