Preseason

  • June 6, 2018: It was announced that former Arkansas tight end Will Gragg had transferred to Pittsburgh, with two years of immediate eligibility remaining.[33]
  • June 8, 2018: Arkansas wide receiver Kofi Boateng announced his retirement from football following two knee injuries.[34]
  • July 10, 2018: The Arkansas athletic department released the design of the 2018 uniform, which featured small tweaks from the past few years. These changes included the elimination of matte-finish helmets in favor of a glossier "pearl cardinal" finish, removal of details on the jersey to "de-clutter" the chest area, and a new stripe design on the pants.[35]
  • July 20, 2018: The SEC media poll was released, and placed the Razorbacks last out of the seven teams in the SEC West. The Hogs received 412 votes, 166 shy of sixth-place Ole Miss.[36]
  • July 21, 2018: The Razorbacks had three players selected to the preseason all-SEC teams. The second-team offense featured OL Hjalte Froholdt, and the third-team defense featured LB De'Jon Harris and DB Santos Ramirez.[37]

Coaching changes

Chad Morris, former head coach at Southern Methodist University, was hired on December 6, 2017, to be the 33rd head coach of the Arkansas Razorbacks,[38] following the dismissal of Bret Bielema just under two weeks prior.[39] On January 9, 2018, Joe Craddock was named offensive coordinator,[40] and John Chavis was named defensive coordinator.[41] Both had previously served the same roles at SMU and Texas A&M, respectively.

Barry Lunney Jr., tight ends coach, and John Scott Jr., defensive line coach, were the only two assistants retained from Bielema's staff.

Spring game

The 2018 Arkansas Red–White Spring Football Game took place at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, with kickoff at 1:00 p.m. CT on April 7.[48][49] It was broadcast on the SEC Network.[50] The white team consisted of the offense and the red team consisted of the defense.

The spring game followed a different format: the game was played in twelve minute quarters, rather than fifteen, with a running clock in the second half. The game was scored traditionally on offense (white team), but the defense (red team) could earn points for a variety of achievements (6 pts. for touchdown, 3 for turnover or 4th down stop, 2 for three-and-out, 2 for blocked kick, 1 for sack or TFL).[51]
