FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Arkansas redshirt senior signal caller Taylen Green is one of the nation’s top 35 quarterbacks named to the preseason watch list for the Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award, the Davey O’Brien Foundation announced Thursday. The Lewisville, Texas native looks to build upon an impressive 2024 campaign that saw him accumulate 3,756 (602 rushing, 3,154 passing, 23 TD) yards of total offense, good for the second-most in a single season in program history behind only Ryan Mallett’s school-record mark of 3,795 while recording just the seventh 3,000-yard passing season in program history. He finished the 2024 season ranked 13th nationally in total offense per game (288.9), 14th nationally in passing yards per completion (13.71), and 21st nationally in total passing yards (3,154). Entering the 2025 season, Green and Oklahoma’s John Mateer are the only returning quarterbacks nationally to pass for over 3,000 yards and rush for over 600 yards in 2024. Green is also one of 10 FBS quarterbacks entering the 2025 season who have thrown for 4,000+ yards and rushed for 1,000+ yards in their FBS career. His 8,576 combined career passing and rushing yards rank third nationally and lead all FBS players with five or fewer seasons of eligibility entering the 2025 season. The honor was one of many entering the 2025 season for Green. He was previously selected for the Maxwell Award Preseason Watch List on July 28. Head Coach Sam Pittman and the Hogs opened preseason practice last week with the first of 25 practices leading into the season opener. The Razorbacks kick off the 2025 season on Saturday, Aug. 30, when they welcome Alabama A&M to Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium for a 3:15 p.m. matchup on SEC Network.
