NEWS BREAK: Arkansas Razorbacks Legend Hunter Henry Returns as Co-Owner

In a groundbreaking move that has sent shockwaves of excitement through Razorback Nation, legendary tight end and Arkansas native Hunter Henry is officially returning to the Arkansas Razorbacks—not as a player, but as a co-owner.

The announcement was made earlier today in a press conference led by Athletic Director Hunter Yurachek and representatives of the Fertitta family, current majority stakeholders of the Razorbacks’ athletic enterprise. This historic development marks a new era for Arkansas athletics, symbolizing a full-circle moment for one of the program’s most celebrated athletes.

“Hunter Henry has always represented what it means to be a Razorback,” said Yurachek. “From his days dominating on the field to his leadership in the NFL, he’s never stopped being a proud Arkansan. Now, as co-owner, he’ll help guide the future of this program with the same passion and excellence that defined his playing career.”

Henry, who starred for the Razorbacks from 2013 to 2015, earned All-American honors and became known nationwide for the iconic “Henry Heave” play. After a successful NFL career, including key stints with the Los Angeles Chargers and New England Patriots, he has chosen to invest his legacy and leadership back into the heart of Razorback athletics.

“This program gave me everything,” Henry stated during the announcement. “It shaped me as a man and as an athlete. To now have the chance to contribute off the field—at the ownership level—is a dream come true.”

While financial details of the agreement remain undisclosed, sources close to the organization say Henry will play an active role in key decisions surrounding football operations, community outreach, and long-term strategic planning.

Fans, alumni, and former teammates have taken to social media to celebrate the news, calling it “a win for the culture” and “proof that Razorback pride runs deep.”

As the Razorbacks prepare for a new season in 2025, the return of Hunter Henry as co-owner promises to energize both the team and its supporters, setting the stage for a bold and ambitious chapter in Arkansas sports history.
