Jacobs has played in all 4 games so far this season, totaling 17 tackles and 1 tackle for loss. He joined the Razorbacks this season after spending the previous 2 years at Arkansas State.
He’s been a key part of Arkansas’ defense performing better-than-expected so far. The Razorbacks are currently No. 5 in the SEC in passing yards allowed per game at 241.5.
Arkansas is back in action on Saturday at Texas A&M at 7:30 p.m. ET.
