Arkansas football transfer portal target #2: Missouri WR Dominic Lovett

When I think about what slowed down Arkansas football’s offensive attack this year, the lack of a big play receiver threat like Treylon Burks is the first thing that comes to mind for me. Jefferson and offensive coordinator Kendal Briles certainly missed having that weapon at their disposal.

Heading into next year, Arkansas football is also losing their top two producers in receptions and yards in Jadon Haselwood and Matt Landers. They need to quickly replace their production for Jefferson and the passing game to be a true threat.

Missouri WR transfer Dominic Lovett would be a nice addition. Lovett had more total receptions than Landers, and more yards per catch than Haselwood for Missouri this year. He would instantly be a starter for Arkansas football next season.

While Lovett shouldn’t be compared to what Burks did at Arkansas (no one should be), he could easily fill Haselwood or Landers’s shoes.

Honorable Mention: Oklahoma WR Theo Wease
