Arkansas Football: Should Treylon Burks play in the Razorbacks’ Bowl Game?

The Arkansas football team has completed the 2021 regular season and will now get an opportunity to compete in a bowl game for the first time in half-a-decade.

Before we find out which Bowl Game the Hogs will be getting an invite to, we are starting to ask ourselves if superstar wide receiver Treylon Burks will opt-out of playing in the bowl game or if he will put on that Razorback uniform one more time?

For those just tuning in, Burks has a not-so hard decision to make about his future as a Razorback. He has one more year of eligibility to play for the Hogs, but he is a surefire bet to be selected in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft and earn a life-changing amount of money.
