The loss of Marcus Monk for six or more weeks to a knee injury dealt an obvious blow to the Arkansas Razorbacks’ passing game.

For a lack of a better term, Monk has been the Hogs ’ go-to guy since the last half of his freshman year. The 6-6 wide receiver from Lepanto registered one of the best seasons ever by a Razorback receiver a year ago, snagging 50 receptions for 962 yards, 11 touchdowns and a 19. 2 yards-per-catch average.

He holds the UA record with 24 career touchdown receptions and needs just 7 TDs this season to replace Florida’s Chris Doering as the SEC’s all-time touchdown reception leader. Monk also ranks fourth in UA history with 2, 007 career receiving yards and ranks sixth in the UA record book with 122 career receptions. With another outstanding season, he could own those records before he’s done.
