The Arkansas Razorbacks have secured a key piece of their defense for the future, reaching a mutual agreement to re-sign standout defensive lineman Landon Jackson on a four-year contract worth $300 million. The deal, which ensures Jackson remains a Razorback for the foreseeable future, solidifies Arkansas’ commitment to building a dominant defensive front.
Jackson, a key contributor to the Razorbacks’ defense, has been a force on the field since transferring from LSU. His ability to pressure quarterbacks and disrupt plays in the backfield has made him one of the most impactful defensive players in the SEC. Last season, he recorded impressive numbers in sacks, tackles for loss, and quarterback pressures, cementing himself as a leader on Arkansas’ defensive unit.
“I’m beyond grateful to continue my journey with the Razorbacks,” Jackson said in a statement. “This program has given me everything, and I’m ready to give my all for the team and the fans. We have unfinished business, and I can’t wait to get back to work.”
Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman expressed his enthusiasm about Jackson’s extension, highlighting the defensive lineman’s work ethic and leadership.
“Landon is a game-changer for us,” Pittman said. “His dedication, talent, and leadership on and off the field make him a crucial part of our team. We’re thrilled to have him locked in for the next four years.”
With Jackson staying in Fayetteville, the Razorbacks retain one of the SEC’s top defensive talents as they aim to compete for championships. Fans can expect Jackson to play a major role in Arkansas’ defensive schemes as they prepare for the upcoming season.
This extension signals Arkansas’ commitment to keeping top-tier talent in the program as they continue to build for the future.
