Arkansas Razorbacks kicker Cam Little and offensive lineman Beaux Limmer were selected within five picks of each other in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit on Saturday. They were the only Razorbacks drafted.

Little, 20, was the third kicker drafted and the first Hog to hear his name called when the Jacksonville Jaguars selected him with the 212th overall pick. Little is the most reliable kicker in Razorback history, having made 82.8% of his field goal attempts and was a perfect 129-of-129 on extra-point attempts during his three years with the Hogs. Little is the fifth Razorback kicker to be drafted into the NFL and the first since Zach Hocker was selected by Washington in the seventh round in 2014. The sixth round is the earliest a Razorback kicker has been selected since Steve Little was drafted in the first round by the St. Louis Cardinals in 1978.

Five selections later, Limmer was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams with the 217th overall pick. Limmer was Pro Football Focus’ highest rated offensive lineman on the Razorbacks’ roster last season, despite his shift to center after spending his previous four seasons at guard. He played in 49 games over five years with 41 starts. Limmer’s selection gives the Razorbacks two consecutive years with a lineman drafted for the first time since Frank Ragnow (Detroit) and Hjalte Froholdt (New England) were drafted in 2018 and 2019.

The Razorbacks have had at least one player selected in the NFL Draft for 29 consecutive years. Arkansas has now had multiple players selected in 13 of the past 14 NFL Drafts.
