Honoring Darren McFadden
Arkansas football's No. 5 jersey patch, honoring Darren McFadden, was introduced this season.
The athletics department announced in July that McFadden's number would be honored, not retired, and a patch would be added to both the offensive and defensive jerseys.
- The patch features the silhouette of McFadden running and his initials, D.M.
- This season, the patch is worn by defensive tackle Cam Ball and wide receiver Ja'Kayden Ferguson.
“It's a conversation piece,”
said McFadden, the Doak Walker Award winner and Heisman Trophy runner-up in both 2006 and 2007.
McFadden was honored on the field during Arkansas' game against Texas A&M on Saturday.
