There were four Arkansas players mentioned when the 2026 Senior Bowl Top 300 list was released on Wednesday, two on offense and two on defense.

Quarterback Taylen Green, offensive lineman Fernando Carmona, plus defensive linemen Cam Ball and David Oke.

Green, Carmona and Ball have already earned multiple preseason recognition honors, while Oke is coming off of a 2024 campaign with Abilene Christian in which he was a Second Team All-UAC selection. He logged 63 total tackles, including 9.5 for loss with six quarterback hurries, broke up two passes, forced a fumble and recovered another, plus blocked a field goal.

Ball, who had offseason elbow surgery, started all 13 games for Arkansas last fall and collected a career high 47 tackles, including four for loss and 1.5 sacks.

In Green’s first season with the Hogs last fall after transferring from Boise State, Lewisville (Texas) native started all 13 games, completing 230 of his 381 passes (60.4%) for 3,154 yards and 15 touchdowns to nine interceptions. He also added 602 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground on 156 carries.

While blocking for Green, Carmona helped pave the way for a Razorback offense that ranked 10th nationally averaging 459.5 total yards per game, including 274.7 yards through the air which was the 18th-best in the country. Carmona is expected to move inside to guard this season.
