4. Jaylin Williams

Everyone in Arkansas remembers Jaylin Williams for his positive vibe, toughness, and the huge smile he rose with after taking a charge. All things Oklahoma City fans enjoy 2-4 games a week.

He was a part of both of Arkansas's Elite Eight runs. In the process, Williams grew into a competent floor general from the post on a 2022 team lacking a true point guard. His average assists grew by nearly two assists per game from his freshman year to his sophomore year. And his aforementioned charge-drawing capabilities frustrated all in the SEC not donning Razorback red. 

Williams made the correct decision to go pro, but it didn't hurt any less. The combination of his production and popularity among Razorback Nation made it incredibly painful to watch him leave.
