FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas wide receiver Keon Hatcher didn't expect to be back in college this season, but a foot injury that cost him most of last season changed his plans.

The senior's return has given an already talented wide receiver group even more of a boost as the No. 17 Razorbacks (3-0) prepare to face No. 10 Texas A&M (3-0) on Saturday night.

Hatcher began last season as the unquestioned top wide receiver for the Razorbacks, a role he affirmed by catching 13 passes for 198 yards in his first two games before breaking his left foot.

After deciding to return for a fifth season this year, Hatcher is second on the Razorbacks in catches (11) and first in yards (204) after three games.
