FAYETTEVILLE -- Another frontcourt piece says he is returning to Arkansas for the 2023-24 season.
Jalen Graham, a 6-9 forward from Phoenix, announced in a post to his Twitter account that he will play a second season with the Razorbacks. He committed to the Razorbacks on April 7, 2022, after three seasons at Arizona State.
The forward scored in double figures six times last season, including a career-high 26 on 12 of 15 from the field against Florida on Feb. 18. Graham also added 16 points against South Carolina, Alabama and North Carolina-Asheville.
He played in 31 of 36 games and averaged 9.4 minutes, 5.2 points and 2.3 rebounds. An All-Pac-12 second-team performer in 2022, Graham played 10 or fewer minutes in 19 games played in 2022-23, including each of the last 7.
Graham shot 65.5% from the field, 0 of 3 from three-point range and 13 of 35 (37.1%) at the free throw line. He had 7 points, 5 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block in Arkansas' three NCAA Tournament games.
Missouri transfer forward Trevon Brazile, who tore the ACL in his right knee last December, announced last week that he will be back in 2023-24.
