Graham Poised to Elevate Razorbacks with Size and Scoring Efficiency
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Standing at 6-foot-10 and weighing 235 pounds, forward Jalen Graham is set to make a significant impact on the Arkansas Razorbacks’ frontcourt this season. Known for his combination of size, skill, and basketball IQ, Graham returns to Fayetteville with high expectations after showcasing his scoring prowess last year.
Graham, a seasoned player with a versatile offensive game, quickly established himself as one of the most efficient scorers on the team during the previous season. His ability to score in the post, finish at the rim, and hit mid-range shots with consistency made him a key contributor off the bench. Despite limited minutes, he often made the most of his opportunities, shooting at a high percentage and demonstrating a strong feel for the game.
Head Coach Eric Musselman has praised Graham’s development and commitment, noting that his improved conditioning and defensive intensity have positioned him for an even larger role this season. With several departures from last year’s roster, Graham’s experience and maturity will be critical in anchoring the frontcourt and mentoring the younger players.
“He brings an element of veteran leadership and knows how to produce efficiently,” Musselman said. “We’re looking forward to seeing how he elevates his game with more responsibility.”
Graham’s size allows him to match up well against SEC bigs, while his footwork and scoring touch give Arkansas a reliable interior option. As the Razorbacks aim to contend in a competitive conference, Graham’s continued growth and consistency could be a difference-maker.
With the season on the horizon, all eyes are on Jalen Graham as he looks to transform his potential into production and help lead the Razorbacks to a deep post
season run.
