Jalen Brown brings speed and splash-play juice to Arkansas — when healthy
In the 2025 season, Jalen Brown showed why Arkansas wanted him: in five starts he caught 12 passes for 167 yards and 2 touchdowns before a season-ending injury, and he was expected to have a bigger 2026 role before being dismissed from the program in April 2026. He has real separator speed, a former top-70 recruit pedigree, and enough vertical-threat ability to stress defenses, but his availability has been the story — injury in 2025 and off-field issues in 2026. If a team wants upside and field-stretching burst, he’s intriguing; if it wants steady week-to-week reliability, he’s a risk.
