Arkansas tight ends look to build with returner Jaden Platt, multiple newcomers

FAYETTEVILLE — If any position group on Arkansas football’s 2026 roster has consistency, it’s the tight ends.

Morgan Turner is the only position coach Ryan Silverfield chose to retain from the Razorbacks’ previous staff, and Jaden Platt, the tight end with the most starts last season, remains on the team for a second year.

There are new additions, too, and with a new offense, the tight ends won’t be excluded from change and transition. But having consistency in coach and top player could benefit the group.

Silverfield said he had known Turner since he was tight ends coach at Stanford from 2013-22.
