JuJu Pope brings dual-threat juice and proven JUCO production to the Arkansas backfield
JuJu Pope is a versatile, downhill runner with legit receiving value out of the backfield, and his 2025 JUCO season — 576 rushing yards, 6 rushing TDs, 312 receiving yards, and 2 receiving TDs — shows a player who can create offense in multiple ways. He was rated the nation’s top JUCO running back in the 2026 cycle by 247Sports, and his Arkansas pedigree plus earlier power-conference recruiting buzz suggest evaluators saw a physical, adaptable fit. If your team wants a back who can handle volume, contribute in space, and add run-after-catch upside, he’s worth serious attention.
