Fort Myers Naples, FL, August 13, 2026 — The Associated Press has identified Arkansas Razorbacks defensive end Quincy Rhodes Jr. as a standout player, even as his team faces projections of a difficult upcoming season. Rhodes earned second-team AP All-SEC honors last year, delivering impressive statistics. However, his team concluded the previous season with a 2-10 overall record and is again predicted to finish at the bottom of the conference standings.
Rhodes is among several notable players mentioned by the AP who are on teams expected to face significant challenges in the upcoming season. Other highlighted athletes include Rutgers’ KJ Duff and Antwan Raymond, Mississippi State’s Kelley Jones, Boston College’s KP Price, Stanford’s Matt Rose, Colorado’s Danny Scudero, and Maryland’s Malik Washington.
Despite the team’s overall struggles and low preseason expectations, Rhodes’ individual performance has garnered significant recognition. His All-SEC selection indicates a high level of skill and impact on the field, setting him apart even within a challenging team context.
