Two Razorbacks named AP Second Team All-SEC
Two members of the Arkansas Razorbacks have earned recognition from the AP for their performances this season.

Braun — an offensive guard who transferred in from Florida — started every game for the Razorbacks and finished with 790 snaps. He ended the season with a 71.3 overall PFF grade, a 79.0 pass block grade and a 68.5 run block grade. Braun only allowed two sacks in 12 games for the Hogs.
